Trump Bends Tough Border Rules for Convicted Far-Right Fraudster
The Daily Beast ^ | Feb. 19 2026 | Leigh Kimmins

Posted on 02/20/2026 6:56:38 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Tommy Robinson, Britain’s self-styled free speech warrior, has been allowed to enter the U.S. despite a long criminal rap sheet.

On Thursday, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, posted a video on social media from an airport in the U.S. announcing, “I’ve arrived!” He said the trip was “last-minute” after he’d been informed only hours earlier that he’d gotten a visa, and hinted at plans to throw himself into U.S. politics.

That apparently included a meeting with Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, a longtime peddler of MAGA election conspiracy theories.

Sharing a photo of himself shaking hands with Flynn, Robinson said it was his “first stop” upon arrival. It’s unclear how he secured a visa despite a litany of crimes to his name, including serving time for entering the U.S. with a false passport back in 2012.

Robinson has become the British far-right’s cause célèbre for his inflammatory takes on immigration and free speech, often overlapping with MAGAworld.

In a video posted Thursday, he claimed to be emotionally invested in American politics and appeared to boost Trump’s debunked narrative about the “robbery” of the 2020 presidential election.

... Michael Flynn, a longtime peddler of MAGA election conspiracy theories.

Which are now proving to be conspiracy facts.

Kimmins is a gay-looking little creep. He’d probably like that:

Because we're supposed to be better than them? Or not?

You can just feel the rage seething through the words. They really wanted Tommy Robinson (whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, which they always tell us like we’re supposed to find something wrong with that name) to be murdered in prison.

Tommy Robinson has more balls then the entire political class in England combined. That includes Farage and his followers

Leigh Kimmins, did you ever use the phrase “Far-Left”?

I think I saw him at the monster mash.

An excellent question. During war, the side that adheres to ‘rules’ (whatever made-up rules they may be) generally loses.
