This person was one of the supporters President Donald Trump didn’t want to fight with.

The president responded on Friday, March 20, to the death of martial artist and action movie icon Chuck Norris. Norris’ family announced the “Walker, Texas Ranger” star’s death on March 20, but did not specify the cause of death.

The president seemed shocked to hear of Norris’ death, initially saying, “Oh, really.”

Asked about Norris’ death as he was leaving the White House, President Trump said: “He was a great guy. A really good, tough guy.” “You didn’t want to fight him.”

President Trump also paid tribute to Norris’ family, calling him a “great supporter.”

Mr. Norris is a longtime Republican and has been involved in presidential politics throughout his career.

He supported Trump during the 2016 election. In 2016, Norris wrote in an op-ed for the right-wing website WND.com that if “reluctant Republicans and other freedom-loving citizens don’t rally now to support Republican candidate Donald Trump,” then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would win.

During the 2008 election, Norris urged voters to support then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Additionally, in 1992, he attended an event with President George H.W. Bush at a Houston school aimed at “eliminating drugs from schools,” and awarded him an “Honorary Black Belt.”
