Dana White (57), president of the UFC, sparked controversy with his bizarre remark at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, saying, "It f***ing awesome," despite experiencing the shooting incident.
The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 26th (local time) on White's strange reaction and the scene of the White House dinner shooting incident.
The incident occurred on the 25th at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Suspect Colton Thomas Allen breached Secret Service (SS) agents and opened fire. Security authorities immediately arrested Allen and charged him with illegal possession of firearms and assault.
At the chaotic scene, White displayed a reaction that defied common sense. When asked if he was not afraid at the time, he explained, "The surroundings became noisy, tables were overturned, and people with guns ran in."
He continued, "Security guards shouted for everyone to get down, but I didn't get down. It was f***ing awesome," adding, "I truly savored every moment of it. It was a quite crazy and unique experience."
At the time, White was seated directly in front of President Donald Trump's table. He conveyed the tense moment, saying, "No one was tackled, but security guards approached our table to search for the shooter. I thought the shooter was near us."
While key figures were evacuated under the guidance of security guards, White calmly remained in his seat. Even just a few minutes after the horrific incident occurred, he casually chatted and laughed with those who remained in the room.
In contrast, President Donald Trump and his wife quickly left the Hilton Hotel with their security detail. Later, President Trump posted a chilling video on his social media (SNS) "Truth Social" showing the suspect charging at event security personnel. Other guests also hid under their tables, trembling in fear until evacuation orders were lifted.
