UFC President Dana White said being at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner during the shooting was “f–king awesome,” in a characteristically unfiltered reaction rapidly circulating on social media.
White, 56, a longtime Trump ally, said he was seated “right in front of the president” when the gunfire broke out, and described the hectic scene to a reporter recording him on his phone.
“It started getting noisy — tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns and screaming ‘get down!’” he recalled.
“I didn’t get down, it was f–king awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. It was a pretty crazy, unique experience.”
Warning: Strong language
He said he had no idea what was happening as the Secret Service rushed in.
“Guys came in looking for shooters, they came toward our table, I thought the shooter was over by us or something.”
