Farage on obscene Trump remarks: People do talk like that

Nigel Farage says obscene remarks made about women by US presidential candidate Donald Trump are β€œthe sort of thing that some men do”.

The UKIP interim leader said it was β€œall well and good for the media to moralise” but β€œa lot of people do talk like that” and say β€œall sorts of boastful things to each other”.

Asked by ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 live’s Rachel Burden if he would find such comments acceptable β€œaround a pub table,” Mr Farage said: β€œNo. I’ve heard it many times throughout my life and I’ve always felt slightly awkward by it”.

Mr Trump's remarks, made 11 years ago, have led at least 33 senior Republicans to withdraw their support from his presidential bid. Mr Trump said the words β€œdon't reflect who I am... I apologise".
