Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith criticizes President Donald Trump for not publicly denouncing a remark made by a UFC fighter involving former first lady Michelle Obama during an event held outside the White House. Smith characterizes the comment as highly disparaging and “disgusting,” and says it targets one of the greatest first ladies, according to the accounts in the coverage. Both outlets describe Smith’s criticism as focused on Trump’s response, or lack of one, to the remark rather than on the fighter’s statement itself. The reports place the incident in the context of a UFC event located outside the White House, where the remark is said to have been made. Overall, the sources agree that Smith publicly called out Trump for failing to address the comment about Obama.
