Ireland’s taoiseach has denounced anti-immigration comments made by Conor McGregor as the MMA fighter visited the White House before a St Patrick’s Day meeting with Donald Trump.
McGregor said “Ireland is on the cusp of losing its Irishness” and that an “illegal immigration racket” was “running ravage on the country”.
Last week, Donald Trump singled out “Conor” – who last year was found liable for sexual assault after a civil trial – as one of his favourite Irish people.
Dressed in a green business suit to mark Ireland’s national day, McGregor was at the White House at Trump’s invitation and participated in an impromptu Q&A session with reporters. “There are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop,” he said, speaking in the White House briefing room alongside the president’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.

It’s so goddamn predictable, isn’t it?
Many countries are doing mass immigration to goose GDP to hide a recession.
Looking at Ireland they have doubled immigration, meaning they too are goosing GDP.
No one here in Ireland likes him.
Thank you for speaking up! Canadian of Irish ancestry here and I honestly thought he was a national treasure. But we don’t often see news of Ireland.
So a guy whose job is to get punched in the face repeatedly is speaking to the nation live from the white house
Interesting
Basket of deplorables
No surprise he was invited there.
totally on brand with trumpism
this lowlife is among the worst to represent the Irish people
Funny, the guy who invited him is a lowlife who is among the worst to represent the American people.
He’s a total piece of shit
Who could have possibly thought that someone who beats the hell out of guys for a living would be a piece of shit damn
There are a lot of super normal nice people who do mma.

How many punches and kicks in the head before they aren’t nice and normal anymore though?
I know that bare knuckles are supposed to limit the velocity (and thus impact force) of punches, but it still seems unlikely it’s not doing any damage. Especially if heading a soccer ball is bad.
To be fair, there are a bunch of counterexamples. It definitely feels on-point with this one though.
True, but even some of the counterexamples have counterexamples of their past behavior. Concussions are complex brain injuries that can be (and often are) personality altering. Organized sports leagues, including MMA, will go to great lengths to make sure the transgressions of their star athletes are swept under the rug.
Always has been and always will be.
Happy St Patrick’s Day to everyone except this piece of shit (and those like him).

It’s cute how he thinks he matters
Well our fucking president gave him a platform so I guess he matters a little.
His cocaine habit is on par with Elon’s ketamine habit, unhinged like his shin bone.
Honestly I thought I was reading the onion here
It really does get harder and harder to tell these days.
knacker
