Interim UKIP leader (that’s right, he’s UKIP leader again) Nigel Farage has spoken out in defence of Donald Trump at a campaign rally in St. Louis, Missouri yesterday.
The billionaire businessman has been taking criticism from all angles, including from his own wife and prospective Vice President, for saying of women that “When you’re a star, they let you do it [kiss them]. You can do whatever you want to them. Grab ’em by the pussy.”
Fortunately for him, globally respected public figure and well-adored scamp Nigel Farage has stepped in to speak on behalf of his good buddy.
At the rally, Farage said “Look, this is alpha-male boasting. It’s the kind of thing, if we are being honest, that men do. They sit around and have a drink and they talk like this.”
“By the way, quite a lot of women say things amongst themselves that they would not want to see on Fox News or the front page of a newspaper. I’m not pretending it’s good – it’s ugly, it is ugly.”
Needless to say, Twitter has reacted with utter disgust at Farage’s case for the defence of Donald Trump.

Wasn't so long ago Farage was threatening us with being groped by refugees but when a powerful white American does it he's an "alpha male"

Being surrounded by mealy-mouthed, misogynistic sycophants like Farage is precisely the reason why Trump's behaviour can go unchallenged.

Maybe it’s time for Farage to crack out the moustache again and go back into hiding.
