Dana White rips calls to defund police in the fiery speech of Trump RNC speech:

During an impassioned address in support of President Trump at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, UFC President Dana White slammed proposals to defund the police. In remarks broadcasted at the 2020 Republican National Convention on Thursday night, he issued a no-holds-barred endorsement of President Trump.

In a pre-recorded video, White said, “We need President Trump’s leadership now more than ever.” ‘America, come on—defunding these critical positions is not the solution,’ he remarked. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, he lauded the Trump administration for establishing “the greatest economy in our nation’s history.”

In a time of increased unrest, he attacked efforts from prominent Democratic legislators to defund the police, saying it led to “the lawless destruction that is now unfolding in a handful of our great cities.”

“It astounds me how quickly some of our country’s leaders have forgotten the crucial role first responders play in our society,” White added. “Police departments and other law enforcement agencies, as well as some fire departments, have encountered criticism from many in this country, yet they are always the first to respond when things are at their worst, putting themselves in danger.”

Trump had previously invited White and other sports and business executives to join a task team tasked with determining how to securely restart the economy in April 2020. Trump, he added, grasped the importance of sports in restoring a feeling of normalcy to Americans’ lives while they grappled with an unprecedented health threat.
