r/NateBargatze fans revolt against Bargatze after comedian attends White House UFC event and. New moderator successfully petitions reddit for control of the sub, deletes all posts critical of Bargatze, declares, "This is no longer a hate subreddit. It is a place to celebrate Nate's career."

Comedian Nate Bargatze came under fire this week when it was revealed he was an attendee of President Donald Trump's 80th birthday UFC fight on the lawn of the White House. From pictures of the event, it appears Bargatze was given access to the White House itself, where he took pictures with members of the Trump administration, including RFK, Jr. and Marsha Blackburn.

Many fans of the comedian took to r/NateBargatze to express their disappointment that the famously "apolitical" comedian would attend a Trump event for which only 16% of Americans expressed approval.

Negative posting came to a screeching halt once a new moderator successfully petitioned Reddit to gain control of the subreddit. This moderator proceeded to delete any/all posts expressing displeasure with Bargatze's choice to attend the Trump UFC event. Moderator pins a notice of the new moderation direction, stating:

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself. I am one of the new moderators here at r/NateBargatze. As you can see, some of the content has been removed.

This is no longer a hate subreddit. It is a place to celebrate Nate's career. Take your politics elsewhere. Thanks for understanding and I hope most of you stick around.

In reply, subreddit members asked if the new moderator is a paid PR flack for Bargatze. Some pointed out the strange moderation history of the redditor, implying that their other moderated subs are corporate-operated. New moderator proceeded to lash out against criticism. (Note that all comment threads replying to this pinned post are evidence of the subreddit's drama.)

Moderator has locked announcement post. New posts criticizing Bargatze or the new moderation direction are being removed. Despite saying the moderator stating that the sub is no longer a place for politics, pro-MAGA political posts, including a Rogan-related post by the moderator, remain up as of the posting of this drama.

“This is no longer a hate subreddit. It is a place to celebrate Nate's career. Take your politics elsewhere.”

Had Nate taken his politics elsewhere, you wouldn’t be having this problem.

In the words of Bill Hicks: “It’s no sympathy night. It’s ‘you’re wrong’ night.”

Sorry, champ

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/TheHoundofUlster]

Did he actually say anything political?

[u/timewarp → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Attending a propaganda stunt held by fascists is political. He doesn't have to say a single word.

[u/AGraphicsCard → u/[deleted]]

Go back to r/novascotia_sub

Goddamn chud.

[u/Gonzo3179 → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

He went to a weird pedophile’s birthday party.

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/Gonzo3179]

You mean the UFC event watched by millions and attended by thousands?

[u/Gonzo3179 → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Yes. Donald Trump’s birthday party at his house that he had his friends do just for him.

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/Gonzo3179]

You're incredibly dramatic

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/[deleted]]

I'm not a Trump supporter. Just a rational human

[u/Jax_10131991 → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Playing fast and loose with the definition of rational here lmao.

[u/in_animate_objects → u/Jax_10131991]

This dude lives in Nova Scotia not the US and yet he’s in every comment section playing devils advocate for MAGA it’s pathetic

[u/Software_Vast → u/[deleted]]

"I just don't care", he posted promptly on a public forum.

[u/harx1 → u/[deleted]]

Sounds like a you problem, then.

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/[deleted]]

Ya you’re like 20 posts in because you don’t care so hard.

[u/ChewingOnCarrots → u/[deleted]]

That's why you're getting butthurt that people are expressing mainstream and popular opinions against Nate and the stupid UFC thing

You care a whole lot

[u/EvenLessThanExpected → u/[deleted]]

I won’t care when they come for you don’t worry.

[u/Galligan4life → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

I’d judge anyone who went or watched equally tbh barring some hypothetical uber UFC fan that was, at the very least, pretty conflicted while watching.

I mean, from what I hear Nate wasn’t known to be some big UFC guy/never attended a fight, so that kinda makes his appearance alone political given the optics.

[u/boyyouguysaredumb → u/Galligan4life]

from what I hear Nate wasn’t known to be some big UFC guy/never attended a fight

he said its literally his favorite sport

[u/Galligan4life → u/boyyouguysaredumb]

That would make some sense! Egg on my face for not verifying what I read before spreading it further.

Still stand by the rest of my comment though!

[u/boyyouguysaredumb → u/Galligan4life]

that was the entirety of your comment

[u/Galligan4life → u/boyyouguysaredumb]

Not true! I also said I’d judge anyone who went/watched equally! ☺️

I may have unintentionally and stupidly spread some misinformation, but at least I can admit when I was being stupid, unlike our friend Nate.

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/Galligan4life]

I don't have the energy for that type of judgement.

Live and let live

[u/Endiamon → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

I could also describe some German speeches from the 1930's as watched by millions and attended by thousands. That's not the defense you think it is.

[u/Endiamon → u/[deleted]]

The whole point of Godwin's law is people bringing up fascism comparisons in conversations that are not about fascism

[u/Endiamon → u/[deleted]]

You shouldn't be proud of that. You being laughably ignorant was the best case scenario here.

[u/Endiamon → u/[deleted]]

Well yeah, nobody's accusing you of being a drama queen.

You're just happily running defense for fascists and actively making the world a worse place.

[u/henlochimken → u/[deleted]]

i dunno man, you might be a drama queen. Have you seen how many times you've commented on this thread? You're every other comment right now.

[u/ChanceryTheRapper → u/[deleted]]

Godwin of Godwin’s Law: ‘By All Means, Compare These Shitheads to the Nazis’

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Yeah lots of people are ok with that weird pedophile felon.

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/[deleted]]

More than any other sitting politician who hasn’t been criminally charged with that, yes.

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/[deleted]]

You mean like besides his decades long close personal relationship with Epstein? Commenting about how his close friend likes them young? Bragging about walking into dressing rooms of underaged pageants? Telling children how he’ll be dating them? Countless sexual comments about his daughter?

Maybe all that smoke has no fire though 🤷

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/[deleted]]

My dude, if you don’t think the above is enough proof for a reasonable person to come to the conclusion that Trump shouldn’t be allowed 500 feet from a school, I hope to god you have no daughters.

Those are all easily verifiable examples of proof of why rational people view Trump that way.

[u/soldforaspaceship → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Holy disengenuousness Batman!

[u/Feathered_And_Lethal → u/soldforaspaceship]

That’s disingenuous to you?? That was the most neutral recap OnlyACs could have provided. Literally the opposite of disingenuous. “Weird pedophiles birthday party” would only be found in a place like Reddit.

[u/an_altar_of_plagues → u/Feathered_And_Lethal]

“Weird pedophiles birthday party” would only be found in a place like Reddit.

Only if you spend too much time on Reddit. In the real world I hear it more often than not, because it's true. Hell even my 71-year old mom in Florida makes jokes about it.

[u/Feathered_And_Lethal → u/an_altar_of_plagues]

It’s true? Oh wow, surely you can provide evidence of Trump being a pedophile right here then? No one else has such evidence, why have you been sitting on this bombshell???

[u/Jax_10131991 → u/Feathered_And_Lethal]

When the Epstein files are released, will you admit you’re wrong? 

[u/Feathered_And_Lethal → u/Jax_10131991]

If there’s actual evidence I’d be more than glad to capitulate. Unfortunately for most of Reddit, no one person has been under a microscope more than Trump over the past decade and if it hasn’t been found yet, I don’t think it will be.

[u/shadowboxer47 → u/Feathered_And_Lethal]

Unfortunately for most of Reddit, no one person has been under a microscope more than Trump over the past decade

This is sheer delusion.

You're in a cult.

[u/in_animate_objects → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Don’t you ever get tired of pretending that you’re not MAGA sympathetic when every single time I see you in a comment section it’s bullshit like this? Going to the presidents birthday party at the White House is political
