Faux Populi: Tucker Carlson Hosts Loser Nigel Farage To Praise Russia

A word about Nigel Farage: he is like a super corrupt Reince Preibus. He's head of the loony anti-immigrant party in England (UKIP) and he has stood for election to the House of Commons seven times, in five general elections and two by-elections, and lost every single time.

He's now under investigation for using actual European Union funds for campaign activities related to Brexit. No, really. Taking money from the EU to campaign to kick out the EU.

UKIP has misspent almost half a million euros of EU funding on its own electioneering and to help boost their Brexit campaign, according to a leaked audit seen by Sky News.

[Said one Green Party MP,] "UKIP have spent years accusing the EU of being run by corrupt elites wasting taxpayer's money. They have now been caught out engaging in the very behavior they have spent years denouncing. Worst of all, they used this money to effectively manipulate the British public, spending large quantities of it on [push] polling designed specifically to support their anti-EU stance, with disastrous effects for the UK and the rest of the EU."

But because the US right wing media likes to think of Brexit as the British version of Trump's "beautiful wall with Mexico," Fox calls him "British Leader of Brexit Nigel Farage" when he's a total doofus loser in the UK. So of course he wants to hang around Trump and go on Fox instead of actually facing the music at home.
