Apparently, calling for racist arson attacks is "distasteful".

"McGregor also posted in November of last year on immigrants. “Ireland, we’re at war” and “Do not let any Irish property be took over unannounced. Evaporate said property. It’s a war.”

That appealed to certain people and confirmed an obnoxious side to McGregor that makes him distasteful, but also astute in tapping into a populist type of personality."
