The Freemasons of Ireland have apologised for hosting an interview between Conor McGregor and the US commentator Tucker Carlson at the organisation’s premises in central Dublin.
Philip Daley, the grand secretary of the Irish Freemasons, said the organisation regretted renting its hall for the event last week and would donate the fee to charity.
Carlson, a former Fox News pundit, gave the former mixed martial arts champion who has become an outspoken critic of Irish and European immigration and asylum policies a platform to assail immigration and to promote his potential run for Ireland’s presidency in an election later this year.
The 55-minute interview, recorded on 15 April, has been viewed more than 1.4m times on Carlson’s YouTube channel. It was the latest collaboration between rightwing US figures and McGregor, whom Donald Trump hosted at the White House on St Patrick’s Day.
I cal BS, they knew who was going to be there and what the topics would be. Thyme got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and are now backpeddling hard.
I thought Trump was bad. If this douchebag is elected president the world is truly over. Not because Ireland is that influential but because we’ve made Idiocracy come true.
Do Masonic lodges have anything else to apologize about? Or just that McConnor McGregor is an ass?
Ugh Free Masons are so fucking corny
Every accusation by fascists really is an admission, huh.
The one time there actually was a “masonic shadow government” it was a fascist far right group. Lmao :p
Thank you for sharing this. You raise an excellent point.
Only good thing to ever come out of McGregor was watching him get knocked out.
That’s not true.
It was also fun watching his leg break.
Give the guy some credit. He also got humiliated, smothered and face-cranked by Khabib. He may be a loser, but he’s versatile.
