‘Travesty’: Conor McGregor torches Ireland’s immigration stance at White House
Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor has blasted Ireland’s handling of immigration while at the White House.
Celebrating St Patrick’s day, McGregor, who was invited by United States President Donald Trump, visited the White House dressed in a green business suit.
McGregor praised President Donald Trump’s work ethic, labelling it as “inspiring”.
In an unprecedented moment, McGregor answered questions from the press where he discussed the issues the people of Ireland face.
The MMA fighter pleaded with Americans saying Ireland is on the “cusp” of losing its “Irishness”.
“Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability, our money is being spent on overseas issues that have nothing to do with the Irish people,” McGregor said.
“The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country, there are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop.
“Issues need to be addressed and the 40 million Irish Americans as I have said need to hear this because if not, there will be no place to come home and visit.”
The MMA fighter’s remarks have been condemned by Ireland’s Taoiseach Michael Martin.
