Zac Brown Defends Performing at UFC Fight at Trump’s White House: ‘This Is Patriotism, Not Politics for Me. F— All The Division’

Zac Brown defended his decision to perform at the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House on August 10, 2024, where he is scheduled to sing the national anthem. Brown faced online backlash for his association with the event, which is being held at the White House under President Donald Trump. In an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Brown stated that his performance is an act of patriotism and not a political statement, expressing his desire to move past division. He emphasized that his participation is about supporting the country and the military, not endorsing any specific political figure or party. Brown's stance aims to separate his artistic expression from the political climate surrounding the event.
