Speaking to TMZ after the event, Gillis admitted he \u201cdidn&#8217;t love\u201d Hokit&#8217;s remark, making it clear he wasn&#8217;t a fan of the joke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked why, he replied, \u201cWhy do you think?&#8230; I don\u2019t like that sh*t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shane Gillis tells <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hicharliecotton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@hicharliecotton<\/a> he didn&#39;t love Josh Hokit calling Michelle Obama a &quot;man&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ehiFuQY3wP\">pic.twitter.com\/ehiFuQY3wP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TMZ (@TMZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TMZ\/status\/2066521389998215189?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Gillis kept his response brief, he joins UFC president Dana White in distancing himself from the comment. Less than 24 hours after the event, White described the remark as both &#8220;nasty and false&#8221; in a statement to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/article\/2026\/06\/15\/ufc-fight-white-house-hokit-obama\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI understand that the Obama&#8217;s are public figures but I&#8217;m completely against saying nasty and false things about people&#8217;s families,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The White House took a different approach.
