Hokit’s ‘apology’ for Michelle Obama slur reads like a troll job

UFC fighter Josh Hokit posted an Instagram Story that looked like an apology for calling Michelle Obama a man, but added the caption ‘Cap’—slang for a lie—suggesting it was sarcastic trolling. The post, sourced from a humor podcast, included a $50,000 pledge to the Obama Foundation and a promise to advocate for Black women. ’ Hokit’s caption explicitly undermined the apology’s sincerity, framing the entire statement as performative.
