Jelly Roll defends Donald Trump encounter at UFC event, stresses importance of respecting the president
Fox News
Jelly Roll is defending his decision to meet President-elect Donald Trump at the UFC 309 event last month at Madison Square Garden, saying he grew up knowing to respect a president.
"I don't care who you were, if you were in that building, the hair on your skin stood up," he said of Trump's grand entrance in MSG. "And you looked, and all you're watching is the president-elect, who got elected like, 8 days ago, walking in, with his entire cabinet with him - almost. You know what I mean? And his kids and his grandchildren. And it was powerful, dude. Like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on." "There’s not a chance in hell I’m not going to meet the president-elect…I don’t care…if I would have got a call to go meet Joe Biden at any point, I would have stopped what I was doing to go meet him. That’s the active president. I wouldn’t have cared what people thought…what I even think about his policies." Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer.
