NY Congressman Peter King ain't too worried about people thinking Conor McGregor[1] got off easy in his bus attack case -- in fact, he's already got jokes!
Of course, McGregor was facing 7 years[2] in prison and possible deportation -- but struck a plea deal[3] where he essentially got off with anger management and 5 days of community service.
Some people believe McGregor's sentence was WAY too light -- considering several people got hurt in the premeditated attack[4] ... but, King's got no worries.
He joked that maybe prosecutors didn't want to put Conor in jail because he would beat up all the other inmates.
"He's a tough Irish guy," King joked ... "You gotta look out for those guys!"
But, would Floyd Mayweather[5] get the same easy sentence if he was in Conor's shoes? We asked ... and that's when King got serious.
