2. So many xenophobic references to "the other" and a message of hate towards anyone who isn't traditional French, white catholic etc.... and yet Zemmour himself is a rather foreign looking little nebbish who is himself a North African Jew - in other words he himself personifies the exact type of person who the French right has traditionally "othered" and vilified...
Then again, it was often noted that some of leading Nazis who went on and on about the German master race were very UNaryan-looking weaklings (i.e. Hitler and Himmler). Hitler was rather dark and swarthy and was rumoured to be part Jewish and Himmler was apparently a very effeminate child who played with dolls and would dress like a girl...he went on to spearhead the Nazi attempt to exterminate gay men....sigh. Its almost too facile to see the self-hate at work with these guys
Very classy to compare a Jewish candidate for public office to Nazis and to comment on his appearance in a way you would never do with a black, Muslim or female candidate.
Classiness is irrelevant, he wasn't wrong. Zemmour is a nasty toad of a man. Of course, you only care about antisemitic tropes when they're coming from Muslims.
Zemmour seems to basically be the French Stephen Miller at this point. What a weird little self-hating freak.
