Quotes from UFC champ Sean Strickland at media day 😳:

Misogyny:

Take Wednesday’s pre-fight media day, for example. Strickland showed up in a T-shirt that read: “A woman in every kitchen, a gun in every hand.” You know, just in case we were in danger of forgetting that this is the same fighter who has repeatedly insisted that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote or hold jobs.

Homophobia:

When Lee replied that he’d have no problem with having a gay son, Strickland replied: “Well, you’re a weak fucking man, dude. You’re part of the fucking problem. You elected Justin Trudeau, and he seized the bank accounts. You’re just fucking pathetic. And the fact that you have no fucking backbone, and have him shut down your country and seize fucking bank accounts, and you ask me some stupid shit like that? Go fuck yourself.”

Transphobia:

“Here’s the thing about Bud Light,” Strickland said. “Ten years ago, to be trans was a mental fucking illness. And all of a sudden, people like you have fucking weaselled your way in the world. You are an infection. You are the definition of weakness. Everything that is wrong with the world is because of fucking you. And the best thing is, the world’s not buying it. The world’s not buying your fucking bullshit that you’re fucking peddling. The world is not saying, ‘you know what, you’re right, chicks have dicks.’ The world’s not saying that. The world’s saying, ‘there are two genders, I don’t want my kids being taught about who they can fuck in school, I don’t want my kids being taught about their sexual preference.’ Like, this guy [gesturing to Lee] is a fucking enemy. You want to look at the enemy to our world? It’s that motherfucker right there. Asking me stupid fucking questions.”

This is the distilled propaganda line US right wing media is pushing about Canada since the convoy, by the way. To the extent that we get mentioned, this is the image that's being crafted about us for about 35-45% of the US.
