The Irish government should have known better than to pick a fight with a guy who made fighting his profession and is one of the best of all time at it. 

MMA champ Conor McGregor has been making some serious waves in Ireland and around the globe for standing up against the Irish government for its lackadaisical approach toward the crime wave brought on by unchecked immigration. The problem has gotten so bad that it's triggered riots within the country after an Algerian migrant stabbed three children, an issue that was immediately blamed on "far right" groups by the Irish government. 

McGregor denounced the riots but made it clear that the riots weren't a result of far-right groups creating unrest, it was a reaction to the Irish people being subjected to a complete cultural and societal submission to a wave of illegal migrants who have no care or respect for the country they've supposedly sought refuge in. 

The Irish Prime Minister Leo Varandkar then crossed a line when lightening his language about the recovery of a young Irish girl named Emily Hand from the terrorist group Hamas. Varandakar made it sound like the girl had just been "lost" and was "found," but McGregor wasn't having it and spoke the truth about what Hand went through, adding his open disgust toward Varandakar for being a coward.

It's becoming increasingly clear that McGregor is becoming a political threat to the leftists in control of Ireland's government, and as a result, the government did what leftist governments do when they see someone who could usurp them, they began weaponizing the government to silence and take down McGregor. It was announced that they were investigating him for "hate speech." 

But McGregor isn't phased, and he seems to be doing what he always does in the face of adversity; go on the offensive. 

Taking to X, McGregor called out the left for trying to use him as a "scapegoat" for their own failure, but made it clear that it won't work because the reality is that their failure is what put children in the hospital, not him:

Truth they don’t want to speak. Attempt to scapegoat me all you wish. If it makes you feel better, I will take it. The truth of the many failed policies of this government however, will never stop being the reason we have innocent children in hospital on life support after being stabbed by a deranged criminal, and whose current conditions are being hid from the public. Shame on government and those harboring this and trying to avert from the causes of this. Shame!

McGregor isn't just throwing out the truth, he's making plans, which is one of the reasons the leftists in the Irish government seem to find him to be such a threat. 

I do not connect crime with migration. I connect crime to your governments many failed policies in protecting and securing the inhabitants of Ireland. There is a real lapse in national security.  We need a brand new task force founded to assess all entrants into Ireland. Our natives and our visitors will all benefit with this peace of mind. We need deportation of those here illegally or that have committed a crime here. There needs to be a brand new unit founded specifically for this task. Call it “Ireland Protect”

McGregor has even taken the step of going after the media for attempting to soften the blow against these criminals. 

Appalling! This “man” Joe Brolly calls the subhuman scum who stabbed little children outside of their school a “gentleman” My lord! What is the world coming to 😞🙏 You are a disgrace Joe. An absolute disgrace. https://t.co/05GkjUuqjT

McGregor is giving people the impression that he's soon running for office, likely for the position of Prime Minister, and if he does there's a strong chance of him winning. He's doing everything that's proven successful for right-leaning politicians to win in their respective countries. 

This is likely part of the reason the leftist Irish government is weaponizing law enforcement in Ireland to go after McGregor. He stands a very solid chance of deposing them if he jumps into politics, and when he does he'll probably reverse a lot of the work they did to make Ireland more of a globalist country than an Irish one. 

One thing is very clear, though. Whether he does or not, McGregor has become something of a figurehead for the backlash against Ireland's abusive government.
