This Brexit leave vote pleases one group in this country, and it's those who agree with the far right wing, nationalism that frighteningly seems to be spreading in both the United States and Europe. Saturday morning TV on Fox 'News' is catered to their audience with a show called The Cost Of Freedom which in code is the ability to say any racist or bigoted comment without any repercussions.

HUCKABEE What's driving a lot of the sentiment here in the UK is just unrestricted immigration. People feel like they're losing their country, they're losing their culture. I don't have to tell you that the Brits are very proud people, they love their country, they love their traditions; they love their language and they feel like they're losing all of those things. Because under the EU, anyone can come in and nobody can tell them no. And they're seeing vast amounts of people. now here's what I want to be very clear that when people who say these things they don't want to be on the record, because just like it is in the US right it's a quick way to being called racist or xenophobe but you say anything about immigration but privately people are saying it's time for this to stop.

ASMAN: Governor is it more, ..is it not more than immigration, it's the idea of multiculturalism. That's a phrase that we've heard the United States, it's taught to our kids in school books, is as a good thing but it's not necessarily a good thing when you you teach people not to assimilate. immigrants who come to the United States or go anywhere and want to assimilate become part of the culture could be a good thing, if they're hard-working people, but it with this whole concept of multiculturalism that keeps them in a in a bubble if you will, not assimilating that's the problem is it not?

Huckabee doesn't like that

you 'have to be accepting of every different thing but you cannot, in anyway, celebrate a traditional view...because that would, after all, be offensive to someone.

The former Arkansas Governor thinks that this November, people will be careful not to publicly say their true feelings, but they will vote their inner self (aka id) in the voting booth. Yay for racism!

He wants this globalism that President Obama and those dirty Socialists in the EU love so much, to be rejected by the righteous ones, the Fascists like Farage and Johnson in the UK, the entire American GOP and the far right separatists like Geert Wilders in the Netherlands and the National Front party in France.

Does anyone know at Fox News that even the leaders of the Leave the EU movement have come out against their promises before the election? I doubt it would matter, as facts are not important to Faux News. Heaven forbid these xenophobic maniacs get traction, as we can see how one victory in the UK had an immediate and dreadful impact on economic markets.
