Did you know that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) being held at the White (Trash) House this weekend is a lot like the moon landing the United States accomplished in 1969?
That’s what Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared this week when asked how he thought it looked for so-called “President” Donald Trump to be hosting such an event as part of the celebration for his birthday and the nation’s 250th anniversary.
“When President Kennedy announced that we were going to put a man on the moon and return him safely to the Earth, no one thought that was possible. And we did it,” Rubio told reporters. “We are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do, and no one else aspired to do. And at some level, that’s what this whole company, what UFC has been.”
