Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage implored Americans to “get your walking boots on” and help whip up support for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a rally in the US for a special discussion on Brexit.
He appeared before 15,000 activists in Jackson, Mississippi, last night being introduced by onto the stage with Trump.
The British politician, thought to be the first ever to address a Republican presidential election rally, is in America accompanied by Ukip donor Arron Banks.
He said the GOP party could “beat the pollsters” in the presidential race on November 8.
Trump, who is trailing his rival Hillary Clinton in the opinion polls, backed the UK’s exit from the EU.
In a tweet last week, the property mogul said: “They will soon be calling me MrBrexit.”
The billionaire introduced Farage as the man who “brilliantly” led the UK Independent Party’s campaign to secure a vote on the future of the UK’s 40-year membership of the European Union.
The Brit began his address by saying he had a “message of hope and optimism” for America.
He drew parallels between Trump’s bid for the White House and that of the Brexitcampaign’s.
arage framed the current political election as a fight between “ordinary, decent people” and powerful globalist institutions.
“If the little people, if the real people, if the ordinary, decent people are prepared to stand up and fight for what they believe in, we can overcome the big banks, we can overcome the multinationals,” he said.
Farage said the UK reacted poorly when Barack Obama came to Britain and participated in “Project Fear,” telling them not to vote “Exit.”
He said that as a foreign citizen, he would commit the same sin by telling Americans how they should vote.
However, he quipped, “If I were an American citizen, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me – in fact, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me.
He closed by saying: “If you want to change in this country, you better get your walking boots on, you better get out there campaigning.
“And remember, anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment.”
After the five-minute speech, Trump congratulated Farage and said that Brexit is now being seen as a “very wise decision.”
