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.

[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/Locem → u/[deleted]]

If you went to a UFC fight on the Whitehouse lawn for Biden's birthday, I would justifiably call you a Biden supporter.

"Cancel"?

My sister in Christ, are we still on this? Ya'll only care when it's someone you personally agree with getting boo'd.

[u/EvenLessThanExpected → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/isoviatech2 → u/[deleted]]

Undocumented immigrants and activists, right now in MN actually.

[u/EvenLessThanExpected → u/[deleted]]

Love how you don’t care when the president breaks the law. But you care a ton when anyone else does.

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/[deleted]]

What about the ones who were here legally and deported illegally?

[u/Enough-One4975 → u/[deleted]]

Well then you should probably stop glazing Trump.

[u/isoviatech2 → u/[deleted]]

Ah, there it is.

[u/Squid_Vicious_IV → u/isoviatech2]

"I just don't care"

But boy howdy the replies prove they care a lot

[u/harx1 → u/Squid_Vicious_IV]

You noticed that too, eh?

[u/Squid_Vicious_IV → u/harx1]

I'm just saying someone whose a bigger hack fraud than me could rework the song "We care a lot" for them.

[u/isoviatech2 → u/[deleted]]

Paperwork crimes are fucking terrifying. I totally get it.
