Despite a visit from the Secret Service and a video appearance on The Tonight Show in which an edited-in Barack Obama rammed his head into a picture frame, Jacob Volkmann doesn’t regret his comments about the U.S. president.
My stock went up quite a bit, didn’t it? Volkmann said Friday on the Sherdog Radio Network’s Beatdown show. People are watching more of my videos. They’re trying to understand what I’m about.”
I’m getting the message out, finally.
I deal with a lot of insurance, and the bill gave insurance companies quite a bit of power, said Volkmann, a chiropractor by day. But it forced them to also give insurance to everybody, which I’m not against at all; I’m just against the power that they got to deny claims and to deny coverage to health care providers. So that’s why I was speaking: I was speaking through the provider’s standpoint, not the insured’s standpoint.
…people looking me up, saying I should be ashamed of myself, that I’m not even a real doctor, I’m just a fighter, I should keep my mouth shut. That was really irritating …
Somebody’s got to bring up these issues because who else is going to do it? I’ve already got the attention on me. I might as well keep going with it.
In fact, Volkmann said his next fight would be dedicated to the Obama lovers who called him.
