The architect of the withdrawal campaign, known as Brexit, joined the GOP presidential nominee on stage during a rally late Wednesday in Jackson, Mississippi. “If I was an American citizen, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me,” said Nigel Farage, the outgoing leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party. “You have a fantastic opportunity here,” he told members of the audience.
