The Clacton MP added: “I knew there was a case going on, and if he’s been convicted of that, then it’s obviously very wrong, very wrong indeed.”
Mr Farage has consistently been opposed to allowing Robinson to join his political parties, describing him as “thuggish”.
When asked previously whether Reform UK would accept support from Robinson, Mr Farage said: “We’re a political party aiming to win the next general election. He’s not what we need.”
Last year, during a speech in Leicester, Reform UK Chairman Lee Anderson was met with pro-Tommy Robinson heckling from the audience, to which the Ashfield MP responded: “Shut up or get out”.
