Conor McGregor, Ireland’s UFC legend, welcomed American commentator Tucker Carlson to Dublin for a must-see interview and then onto his Black Forge Inn pub in Crumlin on Tuesday in an event that’s generating buzz across Dublin and beyond.
The chat, set to air tonight at 6pm on Carlson’s Tucker Carlson Network, including YouTube, could mark the unofficial kick-off of McGregor’s presidential campaign, with The Liberal soaking up the electric atmosphere at the pub.
McGregor, ever the showman, poured pints of his Forged Irish Stout for a spirited crowd of supporters, some sporting Make Ireland Great Again caps, as he and Carlson discussed Ireland’s future. The Liberal, present at the Black Forge Inn, captured the celebratory vibe, noting fans cheering “President McGregor” and the sense that this event might signal his political ascent. The interview, filmed after a day touring Dublin with TheLiberal.ie’s team and Councillor Malachy Steenson, promises to spotlight McGregor’s vision for the nation.
