Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:
He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.
C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Just “playground banter”, eh? Time for Farage to stop whining about his own treatment.
This story more than any other disgusts me.
Yinka was a little 9 year old boy
Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17
We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

Yinka Bankole was 12 when Farage spotted him in the playground:
“He towered over me. ‘Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’.”

Coincidentally, these talking points seem to surface in Hungary… oh, and Russia.
This isn't ancient history either. Farage used the term "globalist" to describe Grant Shapps just three years ago.
These are age-old antisemitic terms, and they tap into racist right-wing conspiracy theories about a one world government.
There's no excuse.
