Conor McGregor visits White House for St. Patrick’s Day

McGregor didn’t just make an appearance, though. He answered questions from the press, even offering his thoughts on Ireland’s current political landscape.

U.S. press secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared alongside McGregor and confirmed that the fighter would be meeting Trump and other administration officials.

‘We couldn’t think of a better guest to have with us on St. Patrick’s Day,’ said Leavitt.

McGregor was equally excited, referring to his meeting with President Trump as ‘the most important meeting of my country’s future.’ McGregor said that he wanted to ‘raise the issues the people of Ireland face.’ He exclaimed, ‘What is going on in Ireland is a travesty. Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability. Our money is being spent on overseas issues that has nothing to do with the Irish people.’

Why is Conor McGregor at the White House?

McGregor has previously expressed interest in running for Ireland’s presidency later this year. Although he is considered a long shot to be included on the ballots, needing at least 20 sitting members of parliament or four local councils to back a candidate to be included, McGregor is not backing down. Sources say that he wants to run an anti-immigration policy, similar to what Donald Trump ran on in the United States.

‘The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country. There are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop, that have become a minority in one swoop. The issues need to be addressed, and the 40 million Irish Americans need to hear this. Because if not, there will be no place to come home and visit.’

McGregor is just four months removed from being found liable for sexual assault.
