Hillary Clinton's White House UFC Critique Sparks Backlash Over $15,000 in Prior Damage Claims

Summary
Hillary Clinton’s renewed attack on President Donald Trump’s White House UFC event triggered a rapid conservative backlash after she posted that the White House is “our house,” while promoting merchandise tied to allied groups and candidates.
Republicans and conservative figures answered by reviving scandals from the Clinton years, including Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky affair, claims he misplaced nuclear codes, and allegations the departing administration damaged or removed White House property.
A Government Accountability Office review cited in the criticism estimated about $15,000 in damage after the Clintons left in 2001, though Clinton allies at the time argued the wear and pranks were comparable to prior transitions.
The clash keeps attention on Trump’s UFC spectacle, staged on the White House grounds as part of the Freedom 250 celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.
