A radio clip of President Michael D Higgins debating a US radio talk show host on the tea party movement has become a viral hit in the US.
President Higgins, then a Galway TD, was having the debate with conservative chat show host Michael Graham on Newstalk.
Although the clip is over two years old, it has gone viral on social media in the United States – gaining almost 250,000 views on YouTube in the last 24 hours.
The future president slammed the movement saying: “The tactic is to get a large crowd, to whip them up, try and discover what is the greatest fear, work on that and feed it right back and you get a frenzy.”
