Taoiseach criticized Conor McGregor's toxic masculinity in response to claims made by Ruth Coppinger, who lambasted a meeting with President Trump. Coppinger accused McGregor and Trump of being rapists, stating their presence on St Patrick's Day undermined Ireland's representation. She highlighted the insult to women and questioned the Taoiseach's dealings with a sexual predator, pointing out that McGregor had recently faced civil liability for rape. The controversy surrounding this incident overshadowed the purpose of the Taoiseach's diplomatic visit, leading to significant backlash regarding Ireland's representation abroad.
"I've no truck with the masculine toxicity of Mr McGregor," the Taoiseach said, emphasizing his disapproval during a response to criticism regarding a meeting with Trump.
Coppinger stated, "On St Patrick's Day, two rapists met each other in the White House...an insult to your Government and to this people on St Patrick's Day."
"When you normalise genocide, when you normalise misogyny, this is what happens...your visit was completely obliterated and overshadowed by the real Donald Trump."
