Larry David was not a fan of UFC’s White House event.
Last week, the UFC held an event on the South Lawn of the White House on President Trump’s birthday.
After the event, UFC CEO Dana White insisted that the event was not political, but was meant to celebrate USA’s 250th anniversary.
“I love this country, and this event was for America’s 250th birthday. There was no political agenda or anything like that,” White said. “The fact that the president of the United States trusted me, they could have had anything. There’s tons of things going on in this city up until July 4 to celebrate. The fact that he trusted me to do this and to deliver tonight and we did.”
Unfortunately, not everyone was a fan of the event.
During a red carpet interview with Variety, David trashed the event, and called it a “travesty.”
“It was a travesty. What else can you say about it? It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American.”

Despite receiving pushback for organizing the White House card, White doesn’t care about critics of the event like David.
During a recent UFC press conference, White had a message for citics.
“F— em, I don’t give a sh-t about that. I don’t care.”
