Hunter Biden posted an open letter on social media Thursday, June 18, 2026, criticizing the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn the previous day. The letter, addressed to podcaster Joe Rogan, stated that the choice of venue, not the sport itself, prompted the criticism. “The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story,” Hunter Biden wrote.
Hunter Biden argued that the White House grounds should remain separate from such exhibitions. “I believe some of our public spaces are sacred,” he wrote. “The White House does not belong to Donald Trump.
It does not belong to any President. ” He described the Sunday fights as an exhibition of imperial domination rather than a celebration of the 250th anniversary as a democracy. ” Hunter Biden added that the person who sits behind the Resolute Desk is nothing more than an honored guest.
In a postscript, he challenged Donald Trump Jr. to a cage match. The UFC Freedom 250 event took place on the White House South Lawn on Sunday, June 14, 2026.
