UFC CEO Dana White talked about the recent murder of Charlie Kirk during an interview on Pakinomist ‘Special Report’ on Friday.
White, a supporter of President Donald Trump, said it was “hard to wrap your brain around” in the incident.
“Things started to feel better and get normal again, and then it happened, and it’s almost like you know it all starts again,” White said. “Not only my daughter, many children were influenced by this, children who loved and respected Charlie, and it’s just, it’s just hard to wrap your brain around when something like this happens.”
White said he is looking for “unit” and “normality” after the murder.
