Rosie O'Donnell Accuses UFC's Fan Base Of Being 'Un-American'

Rosie O'Donnell is speaking out after the UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C. over the weekend.

The longtime comedian and actress has been a foe of President Trump for years. President Trump, who turned 80 years old over the weekend, has long spoken out against O'Donnell, as well.

It came as no surprise that O'Donnell did not attend Sunday night's UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C. The UFC held a special fight night on the White House lawn in honor of America's 250th birthday - and President Trump's 80th birthday, as well.

O'Donnell, though, was not a fan of the event - and she doesn't seem to be a fan of UFC fans in general.

The longtime comedian and actress accused UFC fans of being "un-American" in a rant following the fight night.

O'Donnell speaks out against UFC fans

The longtime comedian made it clear that she's not a fan of UFC's supporters.

TMZ Sports caught up with Rosie in New York City on Monday.

"We caught up with Rosie in NYC on Monday, and she blasted (Josh) Hokit ... saying his comments reflect the kind of rhetoric she associates with Trump voters ... who she rips as racist, homophobic, and deeply un-American," they reported.

Hokit went viral for referring to Michelle Obama as a man following his fight on Sunday night. Hokit has since faced a ton of backlash for the offensive and controversial comments made live during the UFC's broadcast.

It's safe to say that O'Donnell won't be attending any UFC events moving forward. In all likelihood, after comments like that, she probably wouldn't be welcomed inside of the arena, anyway.
