President Trump faced backlash for hosting UFC star Conor McGregor at the White House for Saint Patrick's Day. McGregor, who has been embroiled in numerous controversies, including serious allegations of sexual assault, raised concerns among critics. Irish Tanaiste Simon Harris clarified that McGregor was not representing Ireland during his visit and expressed clear disapproval of McGregor's actions. Despite a warm reception, the invitation's appropriateness was heavily challenged given McGregor's legal history and past judgments against him for violence and sexual misconduct.
"Conor McGregor is not here in the United States representing Ireland or the people of Ireland. He's here in a personal capacity... My views on him are very clear."
"Many critics have pointed to McGregor's countless controversies including multiple allegations of sexual assault, arguing that he shouldn't have been invited to the White House."
