Nigel Farage has claimed that the West’s “Judeo-Christian culture” is under threat, in an impassioned speech to a US pro-Donald Trump conference.
The former Brexit Party leader received a warm welcome at the CPAC conference, the country’s largest right-wing conference, in Washington DC. He previously told the crowd that he was “not one of Billy’s guys” in Britain, but now “what I’ve been fighting for for 30 years is becoming mainstream and popular”.
Although he has previously complained that the “Jewish lobby” has disproportionate influence in the United States, he argues that the foundations of Western civilization “are rooted in our Judeo-Christian “values.” He called for “absolute and complete commitment and unwavering support” for Trump.
“Corrupt regimes, undemocratic countries, either try to bankrupt their political opponents or try to imprison them,” he told the audience. “In the case of the Biden administration, I think they’re trying to do both things against Donald Trump.”
He continued, “That’s why he needs the absolute, total dedication and unwavering support of a man from all of us. Unwavering support. No matter how bad it is to be demonized. “I know what it’s like to be demonized.” “I believe Donald Trump is the bravest man I’ve ever met.” .”

When asked if he would make a good prime minister, she said: I will see him less and less. I wish the security in the smoking area was a little higher. Mr Hunt said Mr Farage should be “100%” British Prime Minister.
“I don’t have the right to vote. But I think he has the best interests of the British people at heart, not self-interest. I think he’s a true Conservative.” Kotchman said. “I like him very much. His attitude is pleasant. I like his English accent and he seems calm. He likes America.”
