Kellie Harrington claims she was 'hung out to dry' during interview where she was questioned about view on immigrants

Dublin Olympic gold medallist Kellie Harrington claimed she was being "hung out to dry" during an interview earlier today where she was questioned about her view on immigrants.

She was being interviewed by Shane Hannon from Off The Ball when he asked about her tweet on immigrants from October that she deleted after a 12-year-old died in France. He had asked her if she still held the same views today as she did last year.

Back in 2022 Harrington said she "didn't need the hate" she claimed to receive after she retweeted a video from GB News which featured Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek speaking on the death. Vlaardingerbroek said in the clip: “I woke up this morning to see the news of another young European girl who was sacrificed on the altar of mass migration. We have four people in custody, all migrants coming from Algeria. This is the 12th girl I believe in France that has been killed this year by an immigrant and that’s just France.”
