I wonder how this will work out for him

They were on BBC news this morning. I don't ever remember that happening since the whole thing started. They are moving up a league in terms of media coverage.
Defending the Burke family as just standing up for their Christian beliefs is ludicrous. They don't exactly seem to adhering to the example set by Jesus do they?
This will gain them support financially I think. Loads of people happy to fund this type of protest. I'd imagine this trip is sponsored for them.
I don't understand people who think they'd be treated better if they were Muslims.
If they were Muslims they'd probably be in Guantanamo by now.
It’s the ideal place to drum up support, they’ll be fools to some and heroes to many.
BBC has covered it before
For such a devout Catholic why are you so anti Muslim?
My guess is they thought/hoped that Martin would get similar treatment to Zelesky in the Oval office.
If that had happened then the MAGA mob would have turned on him as they do and the Burkes might have got some really media interest Stateside.
Sucks for them that MM did his job so well.
I cannot believe that they managed to get into the room - I thought US security would be waaaay tighter than that, especially since it was known that they were in town.
I'd say a few heads will roll over that!
”in Enoch was a Muslim”
Is that not against both their beliefs?
They didn't have tickets or invites according to the news. They wouldn't even have been able to enter the building without some help.
Anyone know where they are staying?
Security were very professional and didn’t hang around - the Burkes can consider themselves lucky how they were treated
Surprised they can even get on a plane seeing as it's all gender neutral toilets.
They certainly wouldn't approve of his lifestyle.
If the Burkes were Muslim, do we really think daddy Burke's ESTA would have gone through?
Your posts come across like badly constructed haikus.
Shouting at the wind, walls close in, yet he won’t bend, reason drifts away.
My bet is he didn't want to risk a run in with the authorities due to his false declarations to gain access to the country.
Michael did his job so well?
Are you sure about that statement.
Professional enough to let three highly visible and recognisable loons not only into the vicinity of a high-profile event, not only into the building, but into the actual room?
Well, they are white. Hence them still being alive
Martina Burke:
“How dare Micheál Martin sit in there.
He is fooling the American people.”
“We need President Trump to know the truth.”
The last sentence is very ironic. Trump and the truth would be uneasy bedfellows

”Mr. President! My son is in jail in Ireland for violating a court order! He could leave today as long as he promised not to stand outside his former place of work!”
There was a loud burst of laughter in the room just after the Burke's were dragged out, I'd love to know what was said...
He did. He didn't end up some weird ass fight with Trump and it remained cordial. Don't think it was gonna result in Trump not making further aggressive tariffs.
I imagine the world is currently pointing and laughing at us on the back of this.
I really do hope this is just the last straw and something is done to deal with this clown show.
Seems like the kind of thing American MAGA conservatives would really like, the whole Burke saga. Like, it could get the full tat treatment of bumper stickers, t-shirts, hastily-written country songs, even a film:-
(Deep trailer voice) "In an ancient land plagued by the woke mind virus, one man decided to fight back…"
Starring DJ Qualls.
They might get a Netflix show out of it.
Cure is for US Homeland Security to revoke their travel documents, have ICE detain them, put them on a plane home at their own expense (with Air Marshals) and deport them after putting "deported alien" stamps on their passports.
What is the thing to be done with them though?
The world hasn't heard of this.
