Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as secretary of state and through an email from her private account, declined to fight for author and talk-show host Michael Savage’s request to be lifted from a travel ban to the United Kingdom, according to a report on WikiLeaks emails.

"I have long believed that someone in the Clinton camp worked in cahoots with the socialist Labor Party government to destroy my career," Savage told website WND.com. "These emails show that Mrs. Clinton herself had the power to appeal to the British government to remove my name from their banned list but refused to do so. Why?

"As an American citizen I appealed to Hillary Clinton as secretary of state to defend my First Amendment rights. She refused to do so. Why?"

Savage was banned from traveling to Britain in 2009 because his “views might provoke violence,” according to the report.

“It’s interesting to me that here I am a talk show host, who does not advocate violence, who advocates patriotic traditional values – borders, language, culture – who is now on a list banned in England,” Savage told the BBC, per the report. “What does that say about the government of England? It says more about them than it says about me.”

Savage appeared on a banned list which included “terrorists and neo-Nazi murderers,” to which Savage told WND.com: “She’s linking me with mass murderers who are in prison for killing Jewish children on buses? For my speech? The country where the Magna Carta was created?”
