How we look to the world now. MUST WATCH this Irish Senator giving America a piece of his mind

Irish Senator Blasts Donald Trump: Calls Him ‘A Fascist Monster’
“I’m embarrassed by the reaction of the Irish government to what’s happened in America.”

It comes as no secret that millions of people in the U.S are terrified of what it means to have Donald Trump in charge of the country. It should also come as no shock that the rest of the world is feeling much the same way as Irish Senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin has no problem pointing out.

The Senator is a member of the Irish Labour Party, the liberal party in Ireland...

So, when Irish Senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin addresses the fascist elephant in the room on the Senate floor, you know there is a good reason. It is the same way most of us feel. And his words are powerful. Watch him give the world a piece of his mind in regards to this “fascist monster” we must all now fight against.

Mo ghrá thú!



Full disclosure: I have no Gaelic myself, but am at least a quarter of Irish descent. I found the Gaelic here: https://blogs.transparent.com/irish/ten-ways-to-say-bravo-in-irish-using-ceol-gairm-beannacht-fainne-etc/

Mo ghrá thú!” (used for “I love you!” but more literally “You (are) my love!
