Conor McGregor dropped from Beard of Winter 2020 vote after pro-Trump comments
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said Connor McGregor has been dropped from the Beard of Winter 2020 after making pro-Donald Trump comments.
McGregor claimed that Trump has been a ‘phenomenal President’:
He joined the shortlist after his victory over Donald Cerrone in less than a minute in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The BLF Beard of Winter panel reviewed whether McGregor should join the poll after the matter was raised on social media by fellow beard wearer Michael Rosen. It is accepted that Mr Rosen raised the matter in good faith and was unaware of McGregor’s sympathies for Trump
The vote for Beard of Winter is now open and will close at midday on 27th January with the result announced on 28th January
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Donald Trump is one of the world’s leading beard haters and anyone supporting him is bringing the hirsute into disrepute. That includes Mr McGregor
