It’s very clear what Jean-Pierre Le Pen “was thinking”. He’s done this kind of thing before. And at 85, the French National Front Party’s founder doesn’t get a pass on grounds he’s a really old French right-wing fascist.

It’s hard to offend me with speech, but this did. Read both stories. Amazing.
