Conor McGregor fires back at Irish Prime Minister over White House criticism
Conor McGregor has responded fiercely to Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin’s criticism of his recent comments during a St. Patrick’s Day visit to the White House. McGregor, who met with former U.S. President Donald Trump, faced backlash after Martin claimed the UFC star’s remarks did not represent the people of Ireland.
Martin took to social media, stating:
"St. Patrick’s Day around the world is a day rooted in community, humanity, friendship and fellowship. Conor McGregor’s remarks are wrong, and do not reflect the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, or the views of the people of Ireland."
McGregor, never one to hold back, quickly hit back at the Taoiseach, highlighting his contributions to Ireland:
"I am an employer of 200 people - almost 300 people - in the country of Ireland. He's an employer of none. Every available metric, available to us, has shown that the government of Ireland currently has failed the people of Ireland. In ten years, Dublin city center has gone from one of the most safest cities in Europe to be one of the most dangerous, so shame on him for saying that, speaking down on an Irish man."
Declaring his loyalty to his homeland, McGregor added:
"I won’t speak about him personally, or throw a jab - I could, I could throw many jabs at him. I could throw jabs handily at them, however, I speak on the metrics and the metrics show they have failed the people of Ireland. They do not represent the people of Ireland and I'm here. God bless Ireland. God bless America."
