Conor McGregor Faces Backlash After White House Visit and Criticism of Irish Government

The Irish fighter's remarks on immigration and alignment with Donald Trump have drawn condemnation from Irish leaders and media.

Conor McGregor met with Donald Trump at the White House on St. Patrick's Day, where he criticized Ireland's immigration policies and government leadership.
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris publicly denounced McGregor's comments, stating he does not represent Ireland or its people.
McGregor has hinted at running for the Irish presidency, positioning himself as a voice for the Irish people while accusing the current government of failing the nation.
The fighter's association with Trump and the 'Make Ireland Great Again' message have polarized public opinion, with Irish tabloids and politicians rejecting his claims.
McGregor's ongoing legal controversies, including a recent civil case in Ireland, have raised further questions about his credibility and political ambitions.
