Irish Politicians Reject Conor McGregor's Presidential Bid

Conor McGregor's aspirations to run for the Irish presidency have been met with widespread disdain from Irish politicians, as a recent Sky News survey revealed that not one of the 134 responding TDs and senators would support his candidacy. Many described him in derogatory terms, with comments like 'tacky, moronic vulgarian' and 'misogynist and thug' reflecting a strong rejection of his presidential ambitions. McGregor's eligibility hinges on being nominated by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas or four local authorities, both of which seem unlikely given the backlash he faces. His recent visit to Donald Trump, where he expressed admiration for the former president, has further alienated him from potential supporters in Ireland. Critics have emphasized his divisive behavior and rhetoric as unfit for the role of president, with one stating they'd 'rather not have a president at all' than have McGregor in that position. As his campaign unfolds, McGregor's chances appear increasingly remote, with the political landscape firmly against him.
