Conor McGregor, the MMA fighter, hosted Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host, at his pub, The Black Forge Inn, in Crumlin, Dublin. The visit, which included a two-hour interview, comes as McGregor ramps up his campaign for the presidency of Ireland. The event featured live music, top-tier food, an open bar, and a celebratory atmosphere, with attendees wearing MAGA hats and chanting 'Mr President,' indicating strong support for McGregor's presidential bid. McGregor has been vocal about his political ambitions, having announced his intention to run for president in November. The gathering also drew attention to McGregor's stance on immigration, a key issue he has been discussing publicly, including during a recent visit to the White House where he met with President Donald Trump. McGregor's civil rape case, where he was found liable and ordered to pay €250,000 in damages, adds complexity to his political aspirations. Public Expenditure Minister Jack Chambers has expressed skepticism about McGregor's political prospects, stating that most Irish people do not accept the type of extreme politics McGregor represents, particularly his anti-immigration stance. Chambers believes McGregor's presidential run would be widely rejected by the Irish electorate.
