Leader of British movement to leave EU joins Trump at rally
JACKSON, Miss. — Republican nominee Donald Trump is linking his “movement to take back the country” to Britain’s surprising vote to leave the European Union.
The architect of the withdrawal campaign, known as Brexit, joined the GOP presidential nominee on stage during a rally late Wednesday in Jackson, Mississippi.
“If I was an American citizen, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me,” said Nigel Farage, the outgoing leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party.
“You have a fantastic opportunity here,” he told members of the audience. “You can go out, you can beat the pollsters, you can beat the commentators, you can beat Washington, and you’ll do it by doing what we did for Brexit in Britain.’”
