‘He is happy with his choice’: Former co-host insists Mario Lopez is a MAGA supporter

Actor and TV host Mario Lopez denied that he supported President Donald Trump in a since-deleted Instagram comment, according to a Buzzfeed report last month.

The former "Access Hollywood" host commented on a video titled "Exposing Latino MAGA Artists" from last month, which labeled Lopez a "MAGA" supporter based on a past post supporting a UFC fight on the White House lawn, as well as following Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., and the official POTUS page, according to the June 26 report.

The video also highlighted a 2016 interview Lopez did with Trump for "Extra" during Trump's first presidential campaign.

However, Lopez allegedly denied supporting Trump politically and claimed that he did not even attend the UFC Freedom 250 fight.

"You need to get your facts straight," Lopez wrote. "I’ve interviewed Trump many times when he was on 'The Apprentice.' And I didn’t attend the White House event. I was in DC shooting a PrimeTime special at the time for CBS celebrating a civics competition for kids."

Lopez wrote that his original UFC support was in support of his friend, UFC CEO Dana White, and that he "could care less" about politics as a whole.

"Like I said, I’m not a political person. Too divisive. I could care less about politics. I care about my family, my community, my culture, and my faith. God bless you and have a nice day, but please don’t spread misinformation," Lopez wrote.

On Thursday, Lopez's former "Extra" co-host Tanika Ray added a comment to the original report, claiming that she could "confirm this is true."

"It's unfortunate but glad the truth is out maybe it will encourage him to think about it. But then again. He's a capitalist first," Ray wrote.

In another comment, she wrote, "He is Mexican and maga and though it's really confusing to me, it's his life. He is happy with his choice. I pray people wake up bc this isn't it."

Fox News Digital reached out to Lopez's representatives for comment.

The former "Saved by the Bell" actor has remained largely apolitical in his public life but has been open about sharing his Christian faith while working in Hollywood.

During his 2016 interview with Trump, Lopez previously described himself as "Latino, happen to also be conservative, a child of Mexican immigrants."
