George Lopez says he’s “in favor” of shipping Conor McGregor back to Ireland after the famed fighter’s recent outburst attacking a van carrying UFC fighters.
Speaking with TMZ, Lopez suggested that McGregor should be deported for the attack. “What is that?” Lopez asked, before questioning why the Irish fighter would even do such a thing. “If you got that much cash, why are you throwing handcarts through the window?”
When asked whether McGregor should be deported considering the fact he’s an Irish national, Lopez answered, “I’m in favor of that. Mexicans get a free wall, who’s not going to like that?”
Lopez has made it no secret his feelings on the crackdown on undocumented immigrants in the country under the trump administration. Back in July, the comedian took to Instagram sharing his views on what the White House should be doing instead of targeting Latino immigrants. “The Trump administration is deporting Latinos to make the streets safer ... you wanna make the streets safer, deport the police!” Lopez’s photo said.
As for McGregor, the fighter turned himself over to police following the attack. He was charged with one count of felony criminal mischief and two misdemeanor counts of assault. He was released after posting a $50,000 bail.
