The MMA fighter criticised the Irish government’s stance on immigration issues as he spoke to reporters in the West Wing.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin and Deputy Premier Simon Harris stated Conor McGregor does not speak for Ireland after he visited the White House for St. Patrick's Day and criticized the Irish government's stance on immigration. McGregor, who has expressed interest in running for president, said the Irish government abandoned its people. His visit followed a civil ruling finding him liable for rape, a case he is appealing.
