Nigel Farage, British Member of Parliament and noted friend of former President Donald Trump, has stated that in the event she is elected President, Kamala Harris should "pardon" the Republican Presidential candidate in order to "dampen down" the threats of violence.
Knewz.com has learned that Trump is scheduled for a sentencing hearing in November for using campaign funds to pay "hush money" to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Farage's suggestion came at a time when Washington D.C. was cowering under fears of potential election interference and civil unrest similar to the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.
It has been reported that the U.S. capital is undergoing significant fortification as Election Day – the road to which has been marked with assassination attempts and increasingly hostile rhetoric between both major campaigns – is finally at hand.
Reports further stated that anti-climb riot fences have been erected around the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the residence of Vice President Harris.
"Signs of caution proliferated this weekend, as the Secret Service erected new, eight-foot-high metal fences around the White House and Treasury Department complex, and adjacent parts of Lafayette Square, as well as outside the Naval Observatory grounds and Harris’s residence," reports mentioned.
Reports added Harris's residence "already has a wrought-iron fence and a security station at the front gate, but crews added the special fence along most of the property’s perimeter lining Massachusetts Avenue Northwest."
The U.S. Capitol has installed "temporary bicycle-rack barriers" with signs that read "Police Line: Do Not Cross" around its perimeter, according to reports.
On the other hand, British MP Farage suggests that "pardoning" Trump if Harris takes the White House would reduce "potential tensions," and hence, the looming threat of civil unrest by a great deal.
In an exclusive interview, Farage stated, "If [Harris] gets in on Tuesday I hope she pardons him. She could look magnanimous and it would dampen down potential tensions."
Farage further said that if the former President does lose by a clear margin, he should accept the loss and move on rather than trying to contest the results of the election as he did in 2020—suggesting that Trump should "go and play golf at Turnberry" instead.
However, the populist Reform UK leader believes that the polls do not sufficiently indicate the elections are "decisively" in the Democratic campaign's bag, and that 2024 might see a Trump White House.
"If it was clear and decisive then maybe it’s time [for Trump] to go and play golf at Turnberry. If it was clear and decisive. It’s all hypothetical and I still think he is going to win," Farage said in the recent exclusive interview.
The British MP further stated that a second term of the Trump Presidency would benefit the UK while labeling President Joe Biden “an anti-British president who had no interest in even talking about [trade with Britain].”
Talking about the prospect of a Trump Presidency, Farage said:
"These are our real friends in the world and we should maximise the opportunity... There are so many issues over the years that he and I have talked about in terms of the relationship between our two countries. He really sees us as being a much more important country than our size would suggest."
"I can promise you not just Trump but the big thinkers behind the whole Trump movement have always seen a trade deal with Britain as a desirable thing to do," he added.
Farage also insisted that the former President is in "top form," despite reports suggesting Trump is showing signs of "mental illness" and "cognitive decline."
"He shambles about aimlessly, slurs his words and sometimes speaks gibberish. Always an effortless liar, now that his speeches are nothing more than a series of lies tangled in a mass inside his head, it appears he no longer even knows he’s lying," a Las Vegas paper recently reported.
The news outlet further stated that "the nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness."
However, Farage contested the claims in his recent interview, saying:
"You have seen more humor from him [Trump] in the last few weeks than you’ve seen in the previous nine years. He’s been in public much more like he is in private. In private, he is a storyteller, a raconteur, he is very, very funny. Laughter is never far away when you are with him and we have seen some of that."
On the other hand, he criticized Vice President Harris's impromptu oration skills:
"Harris without a teleprompter… hasn’t got anything to say. You see a big interview and they are all car crashes. She has zero spontaneity. She is scripted to hell. It’s the way politics has gone."
While Farage is seemingly hopeful about a second term of Trump Presidency, he clarified that he does not subscribe to the claims that the 2020 elections unfairly declared Biden the winner—a claim Trump and his running mate J. D. Vance have been making throughout the Presidential campaign.
"I have never gone along with the stolen election narrative... Let’s hope and pray that is not an issue this time. If it [the outcome] was clear then Republicans have to accept the result," Farage toldThe Telegraph.
