MMA Fighter Conor McGregor Announces Irish Presidential Run After Meeting With Trump
HuffPost
The former UFC star, who was found liable for raping a woman in 2018, is pushing an anti-immigration message.
Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor announced his run for Ireland’s presidency on Thursday, pushing for an anti-immigration stance just days after meeting with United States President Donald Trump at the White House.
“Ireland, the choice is yours and it is an easy one,” McGregor said on X, formerly Twitter. “Vote for me as your president and we will SAVE IRELAND TOGETHER!”
In a separate post, the former UFC star expressed his opposition to the European Union Migration Pact, a set of rules to evenly distribute migration, asylum, border management and integration claims more evenly across the bloc.
“Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will!” McGregor wrote.
McGregor, who garnered a massive following among conservative men in the U.S., made his announcement the same week he met with Trump at the White House, where he told the president his “work ethic is inspiring.”
