1. That was more like an inquisition than an ‘interview’ Ms. Le Pen did a superb job of defending herself and keeping her cool.

   • Echoes of the Nazi judges in the dying days of the other pc of ww2 show trials. “You dare to speak against and undermine our Islamic family way of life!!” When the tables turn and turn they will these so called journalists will have an impossible time.

     • Alas, judging from the standing ovation for the actor in the first clip played from Mme. LePen, it will be a long time before the beautiful people have any kind of an epiphany. Mention “immigration” and they all snap to attention.

       The interviewer didn’t like being called a prosecutor and, when challenged on one point, you have to love her saying that she’s the one who asks the questions.

       The interviewer clearly is astonished that a country is not open to all the world for it to enter and claim all that “compassion” allows.

2. The behavior of the anchor is so nonsensical that it’s not only difficult to watch, but if she really wants to fight the ideas of M. Le Pen, she totally misses her target: so much gratuitous vitriol only speaks in favor of her guest.
   The whole lot of questions asked by the interviewer are non sequitur, from end to beginning. One seems to follow the other randomly. The questions themselves are either shallow or moronic, if not utterly insulting. And to top it all, she doesn’t even assume the meaning of her own questions: at some point she’s asking – something I can’t find again in the transcript, maybe it’s not been translated – a question, the obvious implication of which she denies.
   If I didn’t know better, I’d just say: unbelievable!

   • That news anchor needs a few run ins with “diversity” and she’d change her tune. Assuming she lived.

   • A long way from De Gaulle’s “Quebec Libre!” Enjoy.

3. Just a few comments. All of the stories coming out of Europe and the problems we have here in North America lead me to thank God on a regular basis that we here in the US have absolutely refused to give up our guns.
   Whether its fighting Islam, feral blacks or leftist totalitarians, its hard to do if you’re unarmed. Look at what went on in Brussels after the Islamic attacks, when the people came out to show their rightful outrage the authorities turned water cannon upon them. Its madness and it won’t end well I’m afraid.

   • I will say it again, the Police are there to protect the Government and its interests, not the interests of the public.

     • And AntiFa are their auxiliaries.

4. First class performance by Ms.Le Pen. I wish to God that we in Britain had someone of her calibre in government but our Cameron and May et al are mere weasels when compared with her.

   Ps : who on earth was the silly cow of an interrogator ? The only things missing were the strong light in the eyes and the rubber truncheon.

   She should go to Sweden and interview a few “Swedes”.

5. “I call a cat a cat” I think this was an unfair attack on the interviewer. Ha! The good aspect of this interview is that the interviewer represents many of the half baked views and Ms.Le Pen, demolished them so cleanly and clearly.
   The interviewer was obviously reading from a script and had someone talking to her in the ear piece. She had no knowledge of the issues ( that is not part of her job) and therefore had no way to really reply. She just has to look interested, nod, tilt her head, look amazed, grimace.. She is a female version of Max Headroom on the old software. The new upgraded software will replace her completely. I bet she goes to all the charity functions, does the occasional MC job, cares deeply about the unfortunate. She has had a major crisis in her life that has taught her a lot.
   Wait till she meets the real Islam.

6. Perhaps now our American friends will have a better understanding of what we here in Canada are up against. This witch of an interviewer is absolutely typical of the state broadcaster CBC, pretty much throughout the country, not just in Quebec.

   This brainwashed stooge must be angling for an appointment to one of those kangaroo-court Human Rights Commissions Canada is so fond of … the same ones that hauled Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant in front of them, for expressing politically incorrect thoughts.

   Who could fault her? After all, this is the country that elevated not just one but two radical feminist CBC talking heads to the top position in the country : Governor General (Adrienne Clarkson, Michaëlle Jean). Unbelievable! Canada (under Liberals, at least) is a joke.

   ‘State broadcaster’ is the correct term … not ‘public’ broadcaster. But in Canada it would be better to call the CBC the ‘house’ broadcaster of the Liberal and NDP parties. There isn’t a chance in hell Justin Trudeau would have been elected had not the CBC spent the entire term of Stephen Harper’s Prime Ministership hammering the Conservatives.

   CBC is politically correct to a fault. For eons they have been getting about a billion a year subsidy from the government – taxpayers’ dollars. Generally, they have had only one program in the Top 30 in Canada … Hockey Night in Canada ! (And now, thank God, they have lost that contract.)

   [In any media market in Canada where the consumer has choices, none of them choose CBC. In the Far North the market is captive … just the way CBC likes it.]

   Imagine PBS in the U.S.A. getting 10 billion a year of taxpayer money! [ U.S. being ten times Canada’s population. ] But the CBC makes PBS look like hard-core right-wingers.

   Many Canadians have lobbied for de-funding of the CBC. Some say it should be privatized. I don’t think so. Most of the personnel would simply wheedle their way into new positions with private broadcasters. I think the only solution is to raze all the CBC buildings in the country, with the staff inside and at their desks, and then, following the ancients Romans, SALT THE EARTH on which those buildings stood, so they can never rise again.

   And then, using fire hoses, spray the ground with holy water, and plant garlic!

7. She’s very good, very sharp “Show me an insult” and interviewers are advised be very well prepared before debating her. She made a very important point that the Left while claiming to be democratic are the first to shut down opinions that differ with them, which of course is anti democratic. The interviewer couldn’t see it.

8. Whew! Ms. La Pen made mincemeat of the interviewer. But the sad thing is that the interviewer never seemed to appreciate any of Ms. La Pens points. She seemed to want to “get her” from the start. Which is to say that she was well prepared for her hatchet job. The only problem for her was that Marine La Pen knows her stuff and presents it so well. She is one articulate person.

   In the “old days” liberal in my mind always stood for having an open mind. Now it means having a set leftist set of values. So today a “liberal” is really a closed minded person who eschew values without facts, only fantasy. They don’t seem to understand that when the Koran says words to the effect to not take Christians and Jews as your friends, it means just that. When it says there is a Jew hiding behind a tree it is the duty of a Muslim to kill him it means that. That “people of the book”, i.e. Jews and Christians have to pay a special tax to live “peacefully” as second class citizens it means just that. And I presume people who aren’t even people of the book, if I can put it in those and even these terms, are even lower in rank than Christians and Jews. That’s why the Iranians persecute and kill the Bahais, and those Isis bums kill the Azidis.

   Since most westerners have grown up with the concept of religion meaning to do good by others it strikes me that a “religion” that comes along to our shores that has as a vision to either change all the other religions to it first peacefully and if peaceful doesn’t work, or else, it is not a religion of peace but a bullying religion.

   Is a bullying religion, really a religion? I have heard that Hitler said that if he had to choose a religion he would have chosen Islam. It that is true and I hope someone can confirm or deny this, then shouldn’t that give pause to anyone contemplating what that means? Why would a madman who killed millions have admiration for such a religion? What does the modern day liberal think of that I wonder. Or is such a contemplation simply another item to let fly over a liberals head?

   Now you are born into whatever you are born in. I have heard it said that a large percent of Muslims in the U.S. for instance haven’t read the Koran and care little about it. I believe that. But I also believe that at least 90% are anti Israel without knowing a historical fact about the region and the role of the Arab Muslim colonists. I can also say without any hesitation that at least half the Jews in America and even among those who support Israel feel for the fate of the Palestinians (the so called Palestinians is more like it) wish them well and wish them to get on with their lives without a desire to follow the prescription to kill Jews as put forth in the Koran.

   I seem to have veered off from my main point, cheers to Ms. La Pen and may her common sense reach those who never heard her arguments and at least greeted them with an open mind.

9. Classic example of a left wing media whore abjectly failing in her intent to belittle and demean a free thinking, intelligent, literate political giant.
   Sanctimonious questioning throughout the interview without one hint of balance, hope she was demoted if not fired by her channel after such a debacle. Vive Madam Le Pen – she is absolutely correct, all the left wing luvvies and “No Borders” cretins keep on and on about is the poor migrants and the islamaphobia they are suffering. What about the lives of the Greek Islanders whose livelihoods have been utterly destroyed? The Swedish woman who have been told it is no longer safe to go out at night?
   The European women whose lives have been devastated by rape and sexual assaults? The muggings, the shop lifting, the “no go” areas, you could go on for ever! One classic example to close with – the inane and grinning protesters hanging onto the anchor chain to prevent the ferry from returning illegal immigration grants to Turkey. Wouldn’t it have been wonderful if the skipper had announced “third blast of my horn I will be raising anchor, I cannot sail astern, suggest you get out of the water NOW!” Until these stupid people actually suffer some consequences they will just keep on with their wearisome, trite, hackneyed actions because they do not appear to have anything more constructive to do.

   • Mme. LePen should whip out an 8X10 glossy photograph of a mass of invaders on the country roads of Europe and ask if this is evidence of a sound approach to immigration.

     Better yet would be a video of the cavorting, grinning African gentleman miming for the camera and saying, “Give me the money.” Or words to that effect.

   • I’m relatively certain she will not be fired. She’s was doing what she was hired to do which was to criticize, insult and attempt to marginalize La Pen. That’s what the MC/PC crowd does.

     This media whore did not even attempt to engage La Pen in a dialogue–that was not what this exercise was about.

     • I meant “Le” Pen.

10. Bravo, Madam Le Pen!

11. This is a fascinating and eye-opening exchange. Net result: my opinion of the CBC has dropped even lower than it was before; my opinion of Marine Le Pen has gone up significantly.

    The interviewer’s face speaks volumes: pinched, exasperated, sneering, barely able to contain her condescension and distaste for Mme Le Pen. One of the best parts is when Mme Le Pen asks her if she is a militant or a journalist, and if she is the latter she’d better stick to the facts. Regardless, the interviewer could not give any examples of the “insults” which she claimed Mme Le Pen had aimed at Canadians.

    There was not a whisper of balance in this interview but Mme Le Pen handled it all magnificently.

12. Mme Le Pen shows the way. This is the best example I’ve seen of an interviewee turning the tables on the interviewer. She was wonderfully combative. Interviewers need to be made to define their terms – every accusation of racism must be countered with a request for a definition. Otherwise one ends up dancing to the interviewer’s tune.

13. Typical lefty CBC employee got a good smackdown. The CBC gets over $1 billion a year. A tv network with around 6% viewership and very far left radio hosts across the country. All the CBC seems to gab about if “Global warming”, homosexuals, and feminism. They of course very rarely offer counterpoints and the salaries of their employees is private for some reason.

    BTW, In Canada, the so-called wealthy provinces must send money to the poorer provinces. They are called equalisation payments. Quebec got $10 billion, even though it has vast natural resources, the St. Lawrence seaway, and vast hydro. It was probably introduced to appease Quebec, but you know how that always ends.

14. Perfect example of how PC/MC should be tackled. It must be countered head on, aggressively. As Le Pen said, ridicule the pathetic use of labelling and call it out for what it is: an excuse not to debate, but an attempt to browbeat, and if anything – a demonstration they are not confident with their arguments at all. If you are in command of the facts and hold your nerve, it drives the left mad. In real life they descend into victim hood mode or violence and it gets messy, but the interviewer (presstitute) did not have that option.
