Rosie O’Donnell blasts Trump’s ‘disgraceful’ UFC WH event, calls fans ‘homophobic and un-American’

WASHINGTON, DC: Rosie O'Donnell has never found a brake pedal when it comes to attacking her long-time nemesis, President Donald Trump, and her latest remarks are no exception.

This time, the 64-year-old comedian aimed her attacks at UFC Freedom 250, the unprecedented mixed-martial-arts showcase held on White House grounds as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebrations and Trump's milestone 80th birthday on Sunday, June 14.

Rosie O’Donnell attacks Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 as 'disgraceful and embarrassing'

Speaking to TMZ, the former 'The View' co-host was asked about Sunday's historic UFC event at the White House, which drew more than 125,000 spectators to the South Lawn for a night of unprecedented fights.

'It was disgraceful and embarrassing, and he should be ashamed of himself for doing it,' O'Donnell told TMZ. 

The one-time TV personality was then asked about UFC fighter Josh Hokit’s controversial shout-out during a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan inside the Octagon after beating Derrick Lewis in the second round.

“And lastly … Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” Hokit said to the crowd gathered on the White House lawn before he went on to greet Trump following his victory.

Trump, who was sitting in the front row with first lady Melania Trump, was said to have brandished a half-smile at the remark.

Reacting to Hokit’s comments,  O'Donnell said, “Yes, and that's exactly what Trump is, and that's exactly what his fans are – racist, homophobic, un-American.”

Rosie O'Donnell calls Trump a 'conman, narcissist, and psychopath'

O'Donnell has spent nearly two decades cementing her status as one of Trump's fiercest celebrity adversaries.

She relocated to Dublin, Ireland, with her youngest child shortly before Trump's inauguration in January 2025, though she still makes occasional trips back to the United States.

In her latest trip to attend the Tony awards, she again attacked Trump, calling him a "conman, narcissist, and a psychopath."

"If you grew up in New York, you knew he was an a**hole and a liar from day one. And I am 64 years old, and my whole life has been here. So, I remember when his planes were repossessed from the runways at LaGuardia. I remember when he was broke. I remember when he would call up places and pretend to be his own publicist," O'Donnell said.

"He is a conman. He is a narcissist. And he is a psychopath if you ask me," she remarked.

In another interview, O’Donnell opened up about being back in her home country after moving to Ireland.

"I think it’s horrific," she told The Hollywood Reporter about the current state of American politics under the president.

She also called out "every time that he falls asleep and everyone pretends not to notice" and when Trump allegedly "lets go gas and everyone shrieks and in disgust and backs up" in public spaces
