To St. Patrick’s Day
MMA star Conor McGregor visits Trump-and scolds about his home country
Donald Trump’s “favorite sire” Conor McGregor was a guest in the White House. And lived up to his host – he complained of Irish migration policy.
US President Donald Trump invited a well-known Irish to St. Patrick’s Day on Monday-who is in line with the head of state. Conor McGregor is a star in martial arts mixed martial arts (MMA) and, like Trump, not an undisputed person.
Like Trump, McGregor had to answer in court for accusation of a sexual offense. Last year he had to pay 250,000 euros in damages to a woman who accused him of raping her in a hotel room in 2018. McGregor denied this that he said sexual intercourse was mutually acceptable.
Donald Trump was also convicted of sexual harassment and assault last year and had to pay a punishment in the millions. Trump also denied the allegations.
In a speech by McGregor, who was preceded by his visit to Trump on Monday, he, like his host, revealed a clear opinion on the subject of migration policy – and therefore sharply attacked his home country Ireland.
Ireland is about to lose his “being Irish”, he said in the press room of the White House. He also threw into the room without evidence that a “smuggling ring rages for illegal immigration in the country”.

But it wasn’t enough. There are small cities in Ireland that have been overcrowded by migrants in “one slide”, he said. At the appointment, Trump’s spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, who nodded from time to time. What Donald Trump says about McGregor’s statements is not known. But in the previous week it is still called his “favorite siren”.
For this purpose, it is transmitted what the reigning Irish President Michéal Martin thinks about it, who recently was a guest in Washington and was able to look forward to Irish clothes on his hosts. On “X” he wrote that McGregor’s words do not represent the spirit of St. Patrick Day and also not the opinion of the Irish people.
St. Patrick’s Day Around the World is a Day Rooted in Community, Humanity, Friendship and Fellowship.
Conor McGregor’s Remarks are wrong, and not reflect the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, Or the views of the people of Ireland.
