Ryan Garcia Distances Himself From Donald Trump Following New Epstein File Revelations
Ryan Garcia has long been a supporter of Donald Trump, meeting the former president multiple times and praising him publicly. During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Garcia emerged as one of the most prominent combat sports figures endorsing Trump.
He openly expressed political support through interviews and social media, aligning himself with Trump’s campaign and MAGA movement. However, the recent release of extensive Jeffrey Epstein files reignited controversy surrounding several high-profile political and business figures.
The disclosures mention many public figures, including Donald Trump, but unverified references prompted the Justice Department to confirm no new charges. Following these disclosures, Garcia publicly withdrew his support for Trump, citing moral concerns and distancing himself from political associations linked to Epstein.
“This is my public declaration and announcement, I’m reclining my past support for Donald Trump. Anyone that was involved in any thing to do with that island and what they were doing, I just can’t support in anyway. Children need to be protected, everyone knew better fu** that.” Ryan Garcia via X.
The Epstein files release was mandated by federal law requiring the Justice Department to publish records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump, who signed the law, has denied wrongdoing and has threatened legal action over alleged biased reporting or misrepresentation.
Ryan Garcia claimed the world is run by ‘satanic ped*philes’, saying he would not risk assuming Donald Trump’s innocence. While preparing for his upcoming fight against Mario Barrios, Garcia remains active online, frequently posting religious messages and publicly thanking Jesus.

Then if he does win, then what? Have I gotta wait around for him to mess around and lose his head and fall off the wagon?,” said Conor Benn via The Ariel Helwani Show.
