"Honored to have free speech warrior @TRobinsonNewEra at Department of State today. The World and the West is a better place when we fight for freedom of speech and no one has been on the front lines more than Tommy. Good to see you my friend!"
"Tommy Robinson has been hosted by the Trump administration for a meeting at the US state department in Washington. Posting on social media platform X, the far-right agitator, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said he was in America making alliances and friendships, adding he had had the privilege of an invite to the @StateDept."
Tommy Robinson, a far-right agitator whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, met with officials at the US State Department during a visit to America. Robinson, who has convictions for using a fake passport, stalking, and contempt of court, posted on social media that he was in the country making alliances and friendships. He was pictured with Joe Rittenhouse, a senior adviser at the state department, who praised Robinson as a free speech warrior. The visit represents part of the Trump administration's broader promotion of free speech advocacy internationally, contrasting with its December denial of visas to two British campaigners working against misinformation online.
