"The Irish police are now investigating" - Ben Shapiro's take on Conor McGregor's anti-government stance amid Irish riots
Ben Shapiro is known for his outspoken stances on a wide variety of issues. The political commentator recently weighed in on Conor McGregor's comments about the Irish government following riots and civil unrest in the nation.
Speaking on his podcast, The Ben Shapiro Show, he stated:
"Before the stabbing attacks, McGregor tweeted, 'Ireland, we are at war'. After the attacks, in response to the Irish Garda Commissioner claiming that, 'a hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology was behind the riots', McGregor tweeted, 'innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots and the aftermath.'
Shapiro continued by finishing reading McGregor's tweet, adding:
"'Drew, not good enough. There's grave danger amongst us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape, or form with this frightening fact. Not good enough. Make change or make way'... The Irish police are now investigating Conor McGregor for supposed dissemination of online hate speech."

Your statements of nothing are absolutely worthless to the solving of this issue. Take Action!! Fix this situation IMMEDIATELY!"
