Sinn Fein Leaders Announce They Will Not Attend White House for St. Patrick’s Day Over Gaza – Then Find Out They Weren’t Invited Anyway
Sinn Fein is an Irish political party with republican and democrat socialist branches. It is active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Sinn Féin is currently the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, having won the largest share of first-preference votes and the most seats in the 2022 election, the first time an Irish nationalist party has done so.
The Sinn Fein leaders confirmed that the party will not attend St. Patrick’s Day festivities at the White House again this year. They also skipped out last year.
It was a noble gesture and they felt quite proud of themselves until reporters notified them that the American Embassy in Ireland had not yet invited them this year.
That was embarrassing.
Via Tommy Robinson.
Sinn Féin announced that they would boycott a White House visit for St. Patrick’s Day over Gaza – only for the American embassy in Ireland to confirm they weren’t invited in the first place 💀
