HILLARY Clinton has caused outrage by accusing people who backed Brexit at the EU referendum of voting “against modern Britain”.
The failed presidential candidate claimed the Brexit vote should have served as a warning that Donald Trump could pull off his own shock election victory.
And, in comments that will stun Leave voters, she claimed that voting to exit the EU “made no sense” and was based on a “horrible lie”.
Speaking to the Sunday Times to launch her book, she said: "Brexit should have been a bigger alarm than it was.
"It was some of the same people working for Trump, advocating for him.
“They thought, 'Hey, we've got this figured out, just tell a really horrible lie over and over again, keep people off balance and make them think that this will, if not make their lives better, make them feel better.’
"They voted against modern Britain and the EU, believing that somehow this would be good for their small village.
“It made no sense.”
Mrs Clinton also lashed out at Nigel Farage, a close supporter of the Mr Trump who was seen celebrating with the Republican after the US election.
She told the paper: “He came to the US to campaign for Trump and spent half of his remarks insulting me in a very personal way and talking about Trump as the alpha male, the silver-backed gorilla.
“Think of those images and what that says about what's acceptable and what's not.”
In response, the ex-UKIP leader blasted Mrs Clinton for failing to take responsibility for her loss, saying her book What Happened should be renamed “The Great Big Whinge”.
He raged on his LBC show: “None of it is her fault. In fact, she’s never ever got anything wrong in her entire life.
“It’s because of horrible, awful, vile people.
“People who were behind Brexit who then dared to get involved in the American election.”
