Brace for a ‘political revolution’ in Europe, UK’s Nigel Farage says after Vance’s speech in Munich

Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing Reform UK party, believes a “political revolution” will sweep through Europe as it did the U.S. with the re-election of President Donald Trump.

In answer to questions about controversial comments made by Vice President JD Vance during the Munich Security Conference last week, Farage told Fox News Digital in an interview he “loved every word of what he said” and argued Vance was “speaking ahead of his time.”

“He was talking to an audience of a European political class who are on the way out,” Farage said at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference in London this week. “It’s a political revolution, and it swept through America. And it’s going to sweep through the rest of Europe too.”

Vance, who argued the biggest threat facing Europe was not from Russia or China, but rather from alleged government efforts to silence freedom of speech, drew international rebuke from some who argued his comments were misleading or inaccurate. Others praised his comments, including those who attended the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday, where he was reportedly given a standing ovation.

Farage said Vance reminds him of where he was a decade ago when he served in the European Parliament and remembered “getting up and giving speeches and being screamed at and shouted at and hated.”
