In a recent interview on The Daily T podcast, Reform leader and Clacton MP Nigel Farage made headlines by accusing Jill Biden and her son Hunter of "elder abuse" regarding President Joe Biden's fitness for office. Farage, who has close ties to Donald Trump, expressed his belief that Biden should never have been elected to the White House, asserting that his presidency has made the world a more dangerous place. Farage specifically criticized Biden's handling of foreign policy, particularly the "catastrophic withdrawal" from Afghanistan in August 2021, which he claims resulted in significant casualties. He lamented that the U.S. handed control back to the Taliban after two decades of conflict, suggesting that this decision reflects poorly on Biden's leadership capabilities. The discussion also touched on Vice President Kamala Harris, with Farage suggesting that she would struggle to win over blue-collar workers in the Midwest, a crucial demographic for presidential elections. He described her public speaking style as unappealing, noting her tendency to exhibit a "hyena-like nervous cackle," which he believes detracts from her effectiveness as a candidate. Additionally, Farage revealed that Trump's family is "incandescent with rage" over perceived failures by the Secret Service, particularly in light of a recent assassination attempt on the former president in Pennsylvania. This incident has raised concerns about the security measures in place to protect high-profile figures.
