Conor McGregor for President? Political commentary from Conor sparks debate

14 January 2024

In a series of vocal critiques spanning several months, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has emerged as a prominent voice challenging the actions of the Irish government. McGregor, known for his outspoken nature, has stepped into the role of a spokesperson for his fellow citizens, using his influence to address those in power, particularly amid the recent surge in immigration to Ireland.

The MMA superstar's foray into political discourse has sparked speculation about his potential entry into the political arena. McGregor's criticisms intensified when he claimed that Irish authorities unfairly targeted him as a "scapegoat" for a recent disturbance in Dublin. According to McGregor, the government aimed to divert attention from a stabbing incident involving children, which subsequently led to anti-immigrant protests and riots in Ireland's capital last November.

'The Notorious' continued his criticism of the Irish government on social media platform X, expressing his frustration:

"Beyond fed up of how Ireland operates at the government level. Beyond fed up! And I am not alone, I am the majority."
