Controversies

Conspiracies

Mitchell is a conspiracy theorist, voicing his belief that SARS-CoV-2 was created in a lab by the U.S. government and deliberately released, [49] [50] and that the U.S. government stages mass shootings to advance a gun confiscation agenda. [51] He has also criticized the Federal Reserve as a "corrupt institution" that is manipulating the value of the U.S. dollar. [52] [53] He is also a flat Earther and believes that gravity is a hoax. [54] [55] In 2024, he indicated that he would homeschool his son because he did not want him to be a Communist, to worship Satan, or to be gay. [56] In July 2024, Mitchell called Elon Musk a false prophet and potential antichrist, and his company Tesla a "scam". [57]

Hitler and denial of the Holocaust

In January 2025, he made several controversial statements, including praise for Adolf Hitler, denial of the Holocaust, and anti-LGBTQ remarks. He stated, "I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination" and further claimed, "When you realize there's no possible way they could've burned and cremated six million bodies, you're gonna realize the Holocaust ain't real". [58] Additionally, Mitchell suggested that "greedy Jews" were "destroying his country and turning them all into gays" and referenced early gender-affirming surgeries in Germany as evidence of societal decline. [59] Despite widespread condemnation [60] —including from UFC president Dana White—White stated that Mitchell would not face disciplinary action from the UFC, citing free speech protections.
