Former UFC two-division champion, Conor McGregor, is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with an impromptu visit to the White House in Washington, D.C., where “Notorious” will ask President Trump to help address the “illegal immigration racket” that is “running ravage” on the country of Ireland.
“I’m here to raise the issues the people of Ireland face,” McGregor said during his White House press conference. “It’ll be music to the people of Ireland’s ears because never on the main stage has the issues that Ireland face been spoke. Our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland, and it’s high time that America is made aware of what is going on in Ireland. 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.”
Trump may not be the best person for immigration advice, according to this former UFC champ.
“The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country,” McGregor continued. “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. Ireland and America, we are siblings. We consider America our big sibling. It’s important for Ireland to be a peaceful, happy, prosperous country for the 40 million Irish Americans to have a place to visit, to come back to their home. We wish for our relationship with the United States to continue, and we wish to be taken care of by the big bro. United States should look after its little bro.”
Trump previously suggested the creation of a “migrant league of fighters.”
Trump has a longstanding relationship with UFC CEO, Dana White, and has even appeared at select pay-per-view (PPV) events. As for McGregor, who hasn’t seen the inside of the cage in nearly four years, he’s been dominating the Irish headlines over the last several months (for all the wrong reasons).
