THE TATES RATE CONOR AS PRES
Rape accused brothers want McGregor to be Irish leader
ANDREW Tate and his brother Tristan have claimed they will move to Ireland if Conor McGregor is elected as president.
The brothers, who are both currently facing sex trafficking charges in Romania, have posted a clip posted on X vowing to help the Crumlin fighter run for election.
Tristan describes the Dubliner as “strong” and claims he needs to become a leader of Ireland.
“We said this about the leader of Ireland,” Tristan states.
“We said, Conor Gregor needs to become the President of Ireland. Does he know politics? Is he a skilled politician? No.”
A bare-chested Andrew, who is facing rape charges in Romania alongside his brother, interrupts: “He loves the people of
Ireland.”
Love
Tristan adds: “He loves the Irish people. He’s born and bred Irish. His great, great, great, grandfather was part of the Irish struggle. He’s Irish to the core and he is strong. So I would vote for him, as an Irishman, make no mistake, I have an Irish passport.”
He then directly addresses McGregor: “Conor, if you’re listening, I will help you in your campaign I will promote you I will vote for you myself.”
Tristan then adds: “F**k it. If Conor McGregor becomes Irish president I’m moving to Ireland. At least part-time. Buying an old castle and going hunting every day.”
Andrew Tate then replies, “I’m in,” indicating his agreement with Tristan’s statement.
Last year, Russell Brand also backed McGregor’s run for the Irish presidency in 2025, saying he has a “reasonable chance” of winning the election.
Followers
The UFC fighter had taken to social media to tell his followers how he would compare to Gerry Adams, Bertie Ahern, and Enda Kenny in the role after Michael D Higgins’ second term ends. Describing himself as “young, active, passionate, fresh skin in the game”, he claimed he would hold a public vote every week to identify the “current sway of public feeling”. He also proposed a “friendly sparring match” between himself and the future Taoiseach in a purpose-built ‘President’s Octagon’ outside Áras an Uachtaráin.
“If you cannot spar a friendly spar with your president you should not lead the country,” he said, adding that funds raised by the broadcast would go towards nurses, gardaí, and emergency services.
