Irish politicians are not happy with Conor McGregor. On Monday, McGregor visited the White House to speak to Donald Trump about issues in his homeland.
During his visit, the UFC star trashed the Irish government and politicians.
“Our government abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland. Our money is being spent overseas on issues that have nothing to do with the Irish people. It’s time the people in America are made aware of what’s going on Ireland, what is going on Ireland is a travesty. Our government is a government with zero action and zero accountability”
“OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ABANDONED THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE.”

Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheal Martin spoke out against McGregor following his White House visit.
“St. Patrick’s Day around the world is a day rooted in community, humanity, friendship and fellowship.”
“Conor McGregor’s remarks are wrong, and do not reflect the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, or the views of the people of Ireland.”
Other Irish politicians also fired shots at McGregor.
Conor McGregor has never been elected to anything, he doesn’t represent the Irish people. In fact, we’re all pretty embarrassed by him.
