In a speech in Nevada about the so-called “Alt Right” movement, Clinton accused Farage of sexism and misogyny.

When Varney pointed out claims that the British people resented President Obama traveling to Britain in April and telling voters to support the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union and that Americans might view Farage’s comments on the US election in a similar way, Farage responded, “I didn’t tell anyone how to vote, I wouldn’t dare do such a thing, I did suggest though that if I was an American citizen, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary because nothing is going to change if that woman wins”.
Trump is looking to harness a similar anti-establishment vote to Farage. Referencing Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the US, Farage said last month (paywall) that the “style” of his rhetoric “makes even me wince a little bit”. Although Farage stoked anti-immigration sentiment during the Brexit campaign, he also balked at Trump’s brazen anti-Muslim discourse.
Although he declined to endorse Trump, saying he would not interfere in the US election, he then drew applause and laughter as he said: ‘But I will say this, if I was an American citizen I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me.
“You have a fantastic opportunity here”, he told members of the audience.
At the rally Farage declared he ‘wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me – in fact I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if SHE paid me!’ “You can beat the pollsters, you can beat the commentators, you can beat Washington”.
Trump has sought to support the Brexit movement, noting he had said before the June 23 referendum that Britons should vote to leave.
The billionaire businessman noted the leave side trailed in opinion polls heading into the referendum, and Farage suggested that USA voters who might be keeping their personal views silent on the White House race will flock to Trump and propel him to victory.
She said Trump’s reluctance to defend Eastern European countries against Russian Federation and willingness to recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea “adds up to something we have never seen before”.
And earlier in August he declared ‘They will soon be calling me Mr. Brexit!’
In conclusion, Farage, who is well-known for his controversial speeches, urged voters saying, “If you want 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”.
