In a bombshell testimony before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, Irish comedian Graham Linehan—who was arrested in the UK for his controversial online trans comments—called on Congress to use "every diplomatic lever" available to force the United Kingdom to enforce court rulings on the legal definition of a woman and safeguard free speech.
Linehan, the iconic writer behind hit British comedies "Father Ted" and "The IT Crowd," has become a lightning rod for his outspoken criticism of transgender ideology. His career was effectively destroyed by the woke mob, and he now faces criminal prosecution in the UK simply for stating biological facts online.
Social media erupted as news of his testimony spread. "BREAKING: Graham Linehan, the iconic Irish writer & comedian, was arrested in the UK for his controversial online trans comments," posted @BMWQQ17. "Today, he's stepping up to testify before Congress!"
The hearing, which also featured Finnish politician Päivi Räsänen who was prosecuted for quoting Bible verses, highlighted the dangerous erosion of free speech across Europe. As @Witness24News noted: "Finland prosecuted her for a Bible verse. British Police arrested him for tweets. Today they testify in Congress about how Europe is criminalising speech, and why America should pay attention."
UK's War on Free Speech Exposed
Free speech advocate Harry Miller, founder of Fair Cop, didn't mince words about Britain's authoritarian turn. "We have a real, deep problem in the UK," Miller told GB News, reacting to Linehan's congressional testimony about diminishing free speech rights.
This is exactly the kind of dystopian nightmare that President Trump's America First agenda seeks to prevent from taking root in the United States. While Europe criminalizes basic biological truths and Christian faith, America must stand as a beacon of constitutional liberty.
Patriots should be asking themselves: If they can arrest a comedian for tweets and prosecute a politician for Bible verses, what's next? Will America allow our closest allies to descend into authoritarian madness while we stand by and watch?
