The former Ukip leader was unusually shy as he turned out for Lou Barletta, a Republican lagging in the Pennsylvania polls
Nigel Farage did not so much sweep as creep into Pennsylvania on Friday, for a low-key appearance at a fundraiser for a Trump-supporting Republican Senate candidate that illustrated the toxicity of the US immigration debate.
The former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip) was in Harveys Lake to attend a private event for Lou Barletta, a Republican congressman who as mayor of nearby Hazleton vowed to make the city one of the toughest places in the United States.
Farages presence was presumably meant to draw donors for Barlettas struggling campaign for the US Senate, against the incumbent Democrat Bob Casey. The fundraiser was closed to the press, however, after Barletta spent days distancing himself from the Brexit talisman, whom Caseys campaign portrayed as an extremist.
Perhaps aware of this, Farage had been unusually reluctant to talk about his latest American adventure.
