The UFC President Dana White has long been one of the only celebrities who has had the courage to openly support the former President Donald Trump. In a new interview, White is speaking out to reveal that he once told a major UFC sponsor to “go f**k yourself” when they told him to delete a pro-Trump video that he’d posted to social media.
THE WORLD NEEDED THIS.
President Trump, Tucker Carlson, Don Jr., Kid Rock, and Dana White walked into Madison Square Garden together.

‘Go F**k Yourself’
While appearing on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast, White recalled the moment a top sponsor for the UFC called him personally to demand that the pro-Trump video be taken down immediately.
“I posted a video for Trump on my personal social media, and one of our big sponsors called and said ‘Take that down,'” White recounted. “You know what I said? ‘Go f**k yourself.”
“You vote for whoever you wanna vote for, and I’ll vote for whoever I wanna vote for. That’s how this works. I don’t even care who you’re voting for. It’s none of my f**king business,” he continued. “But f**k you. Don’t ever call me and tell me who to vote for.”
Not stopping there, White defiantly said that he will never let sponsors tell him what he can and cannot say publicly.
“I will never, ever answer to a f**king advertiser,” he said. “You can’t ever let these f**king people hold you hostage or try to change who you are or what you stand for, or try to determine how you’re going to run your business.”
Check out White’s full comments in the video below. We must warn you that he uses profanity.

White Refuses To Submit To Sponsors
In this same interview, White explained that the UFC has become so successful that he doesn’t need to be beholden to what sponsors tell him to do.,
“I’m at a point now in my life and my career where I want to be with people that I’m aligned with,” White stated. “It’s not just about the money. It is about the money because it’s a sponsorship deal, but it’s not just [about the money]. I’m not going to take a bigger offer if it’s not something that I am aligned with and I don’t 100 percent believe in.”
“When you do a sponsorship deal with somebody, you have to look deep into who they are and who’s running the company, who’s making the decisions, and are you aligned?” he continued.

White has openly supported Trump for many years. Back in 2016, he spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump during his first presidential run.
“I’ve been in the fight business my whole life. I know fighters,” White said during his speech, according to Bleacher Report. “Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump is a fighter, and I know he’ll fight for this country.”

Unlike many celebrities, White is clearly someone who is not afraid to think for himself when it comes to politics. We’re glad to see that he still has Trump’s back, and we can all learn a lot from the way he shut down that sponsor who was trying to control his political views!
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.
The Political Insider ranks #3 on Feedspot’s “100 Best Political Blogs and Websites.”
I’d still like to know who that sponsor was, though.
name THE names. Like we want the Ghislane Maxwell Client list, why isnt teh anti-Trump sponsor being NAMED? Transparency is needed here.
Who was the sponsor?
This is another testament to the fact that this country needs fighters, just like President Trump has proven himself to be. We must reelect him to save our country and prevent additional destruction by democraps.
I don’t want to be watching Election Night and see another money-wasting democrap elected.
Let’s make America great again and elect President Trump again.
He is trying to quiet the forest fire he started by his excepting 100 million from Bush Lite!
Does anyone know who this “big sponsor” was? I applaud him, NO MATTER WHO HE SUPPORTS! I mean, I’m glad it’s Trump, but a business should be able to be run as those who own it feel, without being threatened by anyone else. If you don’t like that business decision, then go somewhere else!
