Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White said Wednesday during the “Full Send” podcast that all Americans should be “outraged” about the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Trump was shot in the right ear and slightly wounded during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania, that left former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore dead and two other attendees injured. White said people needed to “put all the hate aside” and remember that Trump was “a human being.” (RELATED: 'Scary Times': Donald Trump Jr. Shares Intimate Update After Assassination Attempt)

“I don't know Kamala Harris, I've never met her, I think she's a nice person, but she's not qualified to run the country. She's not. That's just a fact,” White said. “You don't have to get rid of all the hate. It's like when Trump was almost assassinated. The people who were saying bad things, well, next time… that's disgustingly bad.”
“When someone attacks a sitting or former president, whether it's Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden or Trump, we as Americans should all be outraged and disgusted that someone would try to assassinate a sitting former president,” White continued. “As Americans, as human beings, it really disgusts me.”
Tenacious D band member Kyle Gass made headlines in July when he wished Trump “next time he'll miss it” after actor and musician Jack Black gave him a birthday cake during a concert in Australia. Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi fired a staff member who posted that would-be assassins needed “target practice.”
“Whether you like Trump or not or what his attitude is, he's a family man and he's an American,” White said. “He loves this country.”
