"Hillary Clinton means devastation."

Joining alongside Brexit leader Nigel Farage, France's National Front leader Marine Le Pen supports GOP candidate Donald Trump for President, saying "Hillary Clinton means devastation."

In an interview with CNN, Le Pen was asked if she and Donald Trump were mirror-images of each other on opposite continents, and though Le Pen didn't make direct comparison, she did explain their similarities.

"We are similar because we are not part of the establishment, we are not part of the system, and we do not depend on anybody and we don't take orders from anyone," she said.

On who should be President, Le Pen had nothing positive to say of Hillary Clinton, saying she would bring "devastation" on her beloved France.

"Anything is better than Hillary Clinton," said Le Pen. "Hillary Clinton means war. Hillary Clinton is devastation. Hillary Clinton is world instability. She would be a disaster for my people."

When pushed on the alleged negative results of Brexit, Le Pen dismissed them as "manipulation" to scare other nations into staying in the European Union. Reporter Hala Gorani character attempted to corner Le Pen by painting a potential "Frexit" as a rejection of continental peace, but Le Pen would not be intimidated, issuing a bold statement in support of her country.

"I am not from European province," she exclaimed. "I am a candidate to become President of France, not a province of Europe. France! With its history, its values, with what she brought to the world, and its value is sovereignty."
