Megyn Kelly Rebukes Larry David Over UFC White House Comments

Larry David described the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn as a “travesty” and said it made him “embarrassed to be an American.” In response, television host Megyn Kelly attacked David on her SiriusXM show and podcast, accusing him of elitism and telling him to stop “political over‑the‑top” commentary. Kelly praised David’s work on *Curb Your Enthusiasm* but argued that his criticism of the fight—a celebration of President Trump’s 80th birthday that drew about 4,300 spectators, including 1,200 active‑duty service members—showed a disconnect from working‑class Americans. The event attracted roughly 34 million global viewers and generated extensive social‑media attention. Controversy also surrounded the fight after a participant, Josh Hokit, made an offensive remark about former First Lady Michelle Obama.
