Longtime comedian Larry David ruffled some feathers this week with his comments about UFC Freedom 250.
The UFC's event on the South Lawn of the White House reportedly averaged 8.2 million viewers. The main event featured Justin Gaethje upsetting Ilia Topuria to win the lightweight championship.
While at the premiere of "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America" this week, David referred to UFC Freedom 250 as a "travesty" for America.
“It was a travesty,” David told Variety. “What else can you say about it? It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American.”
Did Larry David go a bit too far?
When asked about David's recent rant regarding the Trump administration, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman replied: "I’d say lighten up, Francis."
Fetterman wasn't done dissing David during his chat with TMZ.
"I’m proud to be American, and if you are embarrassed or whatever because of a UFC thing, get over yourself dude," Fetterman said. "Like seriously, get over yourself dude."
Judging by the replies to Fetterman's remarks, a good portion of the country is siding with David. We'll see if the 78-year-old TV star fires back in the coming days.
