MMA legend Tito Ortiz – who is currently running for political office in Huntington Beach – says he is convinced that COVID-19 is part of a liberal plot to eliminate the elderly.
The 45-year-old UFC Hall of Famer – who is on the Huntington Beach City Council ballot – explained his theory during an interview with the “I Only Touch Greatness” podcast.
We should say the podcast was dropped on Thursday – probably before President Trump revealed that he and Melanie to have tested positive for COVID-19.
Yet here is what Tito said…
“It’s all just a political scam,” Tito explained… “I’m just shaking my head about it because there’s been a lot of people who lost their lives because of it.”
Tito says he is convinced that COVID was man-made and is being weaponized by the “left”.
“Again, it’s population control by the left,” says Tito… “They’re trying to eliminate all the old people who have social security, etc.”
Tito insists that’s just his opinion — “I don’t state it as fact.”
He continues on the origins of COVID — “It was man-made, it’s a man-made virus and people need to understand the facts behind these things.”
Tito – a staunch Trump supporter and wearing a Trump shirt during the interview – says he hopes POTUS will make China pay for spreading the virus around the world.
Ortiz also said he thinks COVID will “go away” after the Nov. 3 election.
I have to wonder if Trump’s diagnosis will change Tito’s mind.
