United Kingdom Reform Party leader Nigel Farage shrugged off spirited Democratic attacks during a testimony about free speech in front of the House Judiciary Committee.

Farage was the star witness in a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the effect of U.K. law on U.S. free speech rights, which came amid wider Republican scrutiny of the country. His testimony was quickly diverted to fending off spirited attacks from Democrats, however, especially House Judiciary ranking member Jamie Raskin (MD). In his opening address, he blasted Farage as everything from a President Donald Trump sycophant, to an opponent of online child safety, to a bedfellow of tyrants and autocrats worldwide.
