Conor McGregor is under investigation by the Irish police after he openly criticized the Irish government’s handling of mass immigration into the country and demanded it take action, according to reports.
The Irish police – known as the “Garda” – have launched the inquiry into “the dissemination of online hate speech” led by assistant Garda commissioner Justin Kelly following McGregor’s decision to demand change in his native country.
McGregor, among other things, has posted on X (formerly Twitter) assertions such as “Ireland, we are at war” and “We are only warming up” after three children and an adult were stabbed by someone believed to be of a migrant background on the streets of Dublin earlier this week.
He also hit out at the Irish government’s decision to give foreigners the vote, calling it “the most preposterous, ridiculous, scheming attempt at gaining votes,” as well as suggesting the country’s “revolving door” enabled an immigrant to stab a young Irish woman to death.
The investigation comes despite McGregor also having denounced the violent actions and protests that occurred in the wake of this week’s stabbings.
