Independent lawmaker Catherine Connolly has been elected the 10th President of Ireland in an overwhelming landslide, securing over 63 percent of the first-preference vote.

While the presidency is a largely ceremonial role, Connolly’s victory is immediately set to intensify diplomatic strain between Ireland and ‘Israel’ due to her history of strident anti-‘Israel’ rhetoric, which became a focal point of her far-left campaign.

She doesn’t want to genocide babies. That makes her a radical far left antifa loony, and probably gay.
