The artist, who was awarded Grammy, asks the White House whether British can look for political asylum in us

Former musician and podcast moderator from Mumford & Sons Winston Marshall Asked the White House on Monday whether President Donald Trump would give the British citizens “political asylum” who would be punished for their speech.

The British rock star, who became the political commentator, appeared on Monday in the press conference, where he deals in his home country that the freedom of speech was threatened and asked whether the USA would be subjected to the British, which was exposed to “hate speech” online because of the publication of “hate speech”.

“In Great Britain we have not issued a quarter of a million criminal hate incidents. As we are talking, there are people in prison who literally publish Memes,” Maroline Leavitt told the White House press spokesman.

“We have extensive prison terms for tweets, social media contributions and general speech questions. Would the Trump government be considering political asylum for British citizens in such a situation?” he asked.

Winston Marshall does not regret leaving Mumford & Sons after he was “canceled”: “I’m freed”

Leavitt giggled before he congratulated Marshall for the topic.

“It is very good. I did not hear that the president was proposed, I still talked to him about this idea, but I can certainly do it and speak to our national security team and see if it is something that the administration would entertain,” she started.

Leavitt gave that Vice President JD Vance was “incredibly pronounced” about concerns about freedom of speech in Great Britain.

“The president also talked about it, directly with her prime minister, when he was here for a visit to the White House,” said Leavitt to Marshall. “Therefore, it remains a critical endeavor to us to show the British and their country that we love and admire about the first change and the importance of freedom of speaking in a sovereign nation.”
