Val Venis saw Titus O’Neil defending Michelle Obama and decided to go even harder in the opposite direction.
Titus had taken to Instagram after Josh Hokit’s controversial UFC Freedom 250 comments, where she was called a man to praise Michelle Obama, calling her a “first class human being” and urging people to show more decency. The former WWE star framed his message as being about basic human respect rather than politics.
Venis wasn’t buying any of it. Responding to Titus’ post on Twitter, the former WWE star blasted the comments and accused Titus of defending criminals simply because they identify as transgender, making it clear he views Michelle as a transgender.
“🚨📢 Delusional. Spending time with criminals, then portraying them as victims or heroes because they’re transgender, doesn’t change the fact that they’re criminals. A preceived Identity does not erase criminal conduct. Treating it as if it does is a statist delusion I cannot understand.”
Things only got nastier from there. After one fan told Venis they used to admire him during the Attitude Era but now viewed him as a “Racist d***” for repeatedly referring to Michelle Obama as a man, Venis fired back and doubled down instead of backing off and even called Barack Obama her “gay husband.”
“Oh, calling out a hardcore criminal is racist???? Give your head a shake and grow up. That man Michael Obama is just as much a crook as his gay husband Obama.”
For the record, Venis did not provide evidence to support his claims about Michelle or Barack Obama. His comments came just days after Dana White publicly distanced himself from Josh Hokit’s original remarks about Michelle Obama, calling that kind of rhetoric “nasty and false.”
At this point, what started as Hokit trying to cut a memorable post-fight promo has snowballed into a social media slugfest involving multiple former WWE names. Titus O’Neil chose to defend Michelle Obama. Val Venis has now made it clear he has no intention of backing down from his own controversial claims.
