The White House announced its intent Monday night to respond to a petition to deport CNN host and anti-gun advocate Piers Morgan, Politico reported.
Shortly after Morgan’s contentious interview with petition backer and radio host Alex Jones, the White House released a statement about the petition, which currently boasts over 106,000 signatures — far more than the 25,000 threshold needed for the White House to respond.
“The White House responds to all petitions that cross the threshold and we will respond to this one. In the meantime, it is worth remembering that the freedom of expression is a bedrock principle in our democracy,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement reported by Politico.
