“I nominate you to brush your teeth” - Conor McGregor goes off on Irish senator over refusal to back him as presidential candidate
Conor McGregor has been hinting at a run for the Irish presidential office ever since the recent Dublin riots. Now, the MMA superstar isn't holding back his punches when it comes to his critics.
The anti-immigrant protests in the nation's capital took place in response to a stabbing incident involving children. The 35-year-old has been constantly calling out the nation's government for its incompetence in handling the situation.
In a recent audio clip posted on X, 'The Notorious' went after Senator Eileen Flynn after she refused to support the fighter's potential bid as a presidential candidate, in an article by The Sun.
Following the politician's criticism, McGregor went on an unbridled online rant, saying:
"[I was] just reading an article. Just reading the latest hit piece from the rag that is the f*****g rag of all rags, The Sun. The Sun where the sun doesn't shine. Senator Eileen Flynn has said [that] she wouldn't nominate me to washing the dishes. How disrespectful. Senator, I nominate you to brush your teeth and see the dentist because if ever it was a cause to bring back masks, I would call for it. You weren't even voted in. You were nominated as a token."

Furthermore, the former UFC two-division champion pointed at the overwhelming support he received on X for his presidential bid as a warning to Flynn, noting that it was an indicator of the nation's overall sentiment.
