During an appearance on one of Ireland’s most popular talk shows, comedian and television personality Rosie O’Donnell shared her thoughts on Conor McGregor’s recent visit to the White House.
O’Donnell didn’t mince words when asked about McGregor’s appearance in the Oval Office this week, describing it as “very depressing.”
Going further in her criticism, O’Donnell made a pointed observation about the company kept by the current administration. “And it seems very strange to me that the President of the United States has so many friends who are s*xual abusers,” she stated.
Her comments were met with applause from the studio audience, suggesting her sentiments resonated with many viewers.
Conor McGregor has hinted at a potential run for Ireland’s presidency following his White House visit with Donald Trump, where he discussed immigration and foreign spending. However, political experts and oddsmakers see his chances as nearly nonexistent. Analyst Gail Mcelroy noted McGregor faces “insurmountable” hurdles in securing a nomination and winning a majority vote. Betting markets reflect this skepticism, with McGregor’s odds of nomination set at +1000 and his chances of winning at a daunting +10000 (1% probability). Despite his celebrity status, McGregor’s lack of political experience and legal troubles make his presidential ambitions highly improbable.
McGregor’s White House visit has generated significant attention across social media platforms and news outlets, with various public figures weighing in on the controversial meeting with the President.
The UFC star has been a polarizing figure in sports and entertainment, known for his flamboyant personality both inside and outside the octagon. This latest appearance in Washington adds another chapter to his high-profile public persona.
O’Donnell, long known for her outspoken political views, has frequently voiced criticism of various administrations throughout her career in entertainment.
Neither the White House nor McGregor’s representatives have responded to O’Donnell’s comments as of this reporting.
