As I'm sure we all predicted, they are absolutely having a bog standard normal one over on Twitter:
A reply to a tweet about Catherine Connolly's election victory saying: "Yuri - under no circumstances is that leftist going to be elected by the Irish people. They have had enough. That creature will be INSTALLED as their leader through fraudulent elections. The question is this- will the good people of Ireland stand for this injustice?"

The funniest thing about the Catherine Connolly smear campaign is that the establishment seems to be following Ivan Yates' advice, despite his impressive record of getting things spectacularly wrong, as highlighted on this old but evergreen tweet from @prayforpatrick.bsky.social
The tweet reads: Ivan Yates, he's the guy who went bankrupt running a fucking bookies in Ireland.

Sorry, but I have just discovered my new and absolute FAVOURITE subreddit and I HAD to tell you all about it immediately!!!

I wonder if he understood the entire crowd chanting "F**k you Hogan!" at him during the Royal Rumble a few weeks ago. That's all I actually care about him understanding really...
