Tommy Robinson has touched down in Washington, D.C., where the British free speech activist spoke with Ezra about his trip the United States, his legal battles and the growing global movement around free expression.
Speaking with Ezra in former U.S. National Security Advisor Gen. Michael Flynn’s offices, Robinson described feeling a sense of relief and optimism being in America after a difficult year marked by solitary confinement and legal challenges in the United Kingdom.
“We have been given light at the end of the tunnel,” Robinson said. “We now don’t feel like we’re alone. The most powerful nation in the world is watching what governments are doing to their citizens.”
He said international attention to radical British policy is putting pressure on authorities in the U.K.
Robinson’s entry into the U.S. is notable because of his prior convictions in Britain, which would normally prevent travel to the U.S. He said he was required to review his legal history during an embassy waiver process.
