I just don&#8217;t know,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It could be his new wife Carrie. I don&#8217;t know what the answer is, but this is not what he was elected as conservative prime minister to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Farage&#8217;s jaw dropped from a pair of notable shockers by Johnson, including calling Biden a &#8220;breath of fresh air&#8221; and adopting leftist virtue-signaling ideology from Biden, saying &#8220;We&#8217;re building back better together, and building back greener, and building back fairer, and building back equal, and in a more gender neutral way, perhaps a more feminine way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wish he was being a bit tongue in cheek,&#8221; Farage, aghast, told host Greg Kelly. &#8220;He sounds like a new-age warrior.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And, frankly, most of that last statement, I would been an interpreter to work out what it really meant,&#8221; Farage added. &#8220;It was very, very disappointing indeed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And calling Biden a &#8220;breath of fresh air&#8221; was one of the worst comments ever uttered by a British prime minister, according to Farage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, Boris is like a chameleon; he can change his colors to suit any circumstance, any weather, but to call a man who&#8217;s been on Capitol Hill for almost half a century \u2013 who was like a broken record \u2013 a breath of fresh air was one of the worst comments I have ever heard from our British prime minister,&#8221; Farage said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Boris was elected as a conservative, and he&#8217;s now governing as a green. He&#8217;s obsessed with climate change, with carbon taxes, with carbon reduction, making British consumers ultimately paying massive bills for all of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Farage, the leader of the Brexit Party &#8220;rebellion,&#8221; is not surprised Europe was eager to welcome Biden to &#8220;the club.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Johnson] and Biden had this great big love-in, as of course did [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel and [French President Emmanuel] Macron, and everybody,&#8221; Farage continued. &#8220;The truth of it is: All the money we&#8217;re going to charge people for climate change, the Chinese are building two new coal-fired power stations every single week, and we&#8217;re going to have to pay the price for this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was mad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As bad as Johnson was, Biden was worse in the eyes of Britons, according to Farage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Biden made no impression on the U.K. at all,&#8221; Farage said of the G7. &#8220;He spent most of the conference grinning inanely, staring into the middle distance. I&#8217;m not sure he even knew he was in the U.K.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Farage has said he retired from politics, but he is leaving the door open potentially,\u00a0ultimately vowing to hold supposed conservatives like Johnson accountable to his voters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Greg, let me promise you, whether I run or not, I&#8217;m going to be a proper irritant to them, and I&#8217;ll turn them back into being a proper Conservative Party,&#8221; Farage concluded.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/nigelfarage-britain-borisjohnson-leftist\/2021\/06\/21\/id\/1025906\/\">https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/nigelfarage-britain-borisjohnson-leftist\/2021\/06\/21\/id\/1025906\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigel Farage to Newsmax: &#8216;Don&#8217;t Trust Boris Johnson&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70365\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
