Liberals outraged by President Trump’s UFC cage match Sunday appear to forget there was another time, not long ago, when sweaty men with very little clothes adorned the White House lawn.
While normal Americans and Trump supporters were enjoying the raucous America 250 celebrations Sunday, Democrats tried to counter-program and failed. Other liberals were enraged that Trump would host a violent fight on White House grounds. Some social media users likened it to the circus part of the Roman empire’s infamous “bread and circuses.” (RELATED: ROOKE: Trump Lassoing Hearts Of Red-Blooded Americans Everywhere With America’s 250th Celebration Announcement)

They all seem to be forgetting that only three years ago, the Biden administration hosted vulgar, sweaty, topless men.
During a Pride Month celebration in 2023, a transgender influencer struck lewd poses on the White House lawn, exposed his bare chest and fake boobs, and met with both President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
How’s that for class?

The bigger point is not just the naked hypocrisy; it’s that partisan pearl clutching can be absolutely exhausting.
People losing their minds about a cage match celebrating America have bigger fish to fry. The same could have been said of the right’s reaction to Biden’s Pride Month guest. Who actually cares, deep down inside?
Of course, Trump is going to stage a fight on the White House lawn. Of course, Biden was going to invite LGBT influencers to parade around in June. Why is this shocking?
It’s always the biggest scandal in the world, and then poof! 24 hours later, it fades away.
