We all know who Nigel Farage is... A thief and a fraud who cashed in on Brexit and who gets his commands from Trump
Fact Check:

Nigel Farage claims the FT ignored the Mandelson-Epstein scandal

it was on the front page for SIX days

(long before he appears to have even noticed it)

There's something very seriously wrong with some men.
Technology companies could and should do more, but when they're run by men like Elon Musk I don't expect they will.

And especially America....

I'm Dutch, both the Dutch King (Willem-Alexander) and our former prime minister Mark Rutte have apologised for things my country has done wrong, to Indonesia (war crimes) and Suriname (slavery).

Trump is a really horrible man.
If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

Het bouwrijp maken van Gaza heeft de real estate developers Trump en Netanyahu zo’n 67 miljard gekost. In dat verband is 5 miljard wat magertjes.

Er is meer nodig om de condo’s, hotels en woonkazernes voor het personeel (Palestijnen) te financieren

This is the biggest gift the Trump regime and Bari could have given a Democratic Senate candidate in a state like Texas.

NOTE: I don't have any preferred candidate in this Democratic primary. Staying out of it - wishing luck to both of them.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

I wonder where he will go in May but I'm really looking forward to seeing his wit and intelligence elsewhere.
Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."
