Conor McGregor torches Ireland's PM over response to Hamas release of child hostage: 'Disgrace'

Martial arts legend Conor McGregor blasted Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar over his reponse to Hamas terrorists releasing a young girl after roughly 50 days in captivity on Sunday.

Varadkar drew outrage this weekend after he celebrated the Hamas release, stating that Emily Hand "was lost" and had now "been found." McGregor spat on Varadkar's statement in his won tweet on Sunday.

"She was abducted by an evil terrorist organization. What is with you and your government and your paid for media affiliates constantly down playing / attempting to repress horrific acts that happen to children. You are a disgrace," McGregor wrote. "The day after a stabbing of children in Ireland, NOT ONE PAPER HAD IT ON THEIR FRONT COVER. We will not forget."

Ireland has been thrown into turmoil in recent days following the stabbing of three children and an adult by a migrant suspect. Anti-immigration protests have flared up across the country.
