Amanpour has a right to ask tough questions, and Le Pen (as we saw) has a right to dispute Amanpour's labels and categorization of Le Pen's party. This was interesting.
Amanpour should do a interview with Biden 😂😂😂😂
Le Pen somehow has picked the worst elements of liberal and conservative movements. Populists are the worst.
Did she ask tough questions or did she imply an accusation?
She can say whatever she likes. She's still a goddamn Nazi. Americans died to keep this country free from people like her and Donald Trump.
Le Pen 1, Amanpour 0.
Not sure why US politicians can’t put two sentences together like this one
Because they're old...
Yeah at least LePen gives a direct answer to policy questions unlike Trump
Because the bar to become president here has dropped lower and lower over the last 10 years

@@barrykester oh
It's Amanpour. She earned her reputation in Serbia. She's an expert at destroying Europe.
she tried to do a hatchet job on Le Pen and she failed.
Le Pen is just shy of Germany 1930. If you thing this is okay and her actual and beliefs are, the. You really have zero room to chime in. She’s evil as are all who follow her path.
She ran to her 'Safe Space' and had a good cry after conducting this interview.
The French are quite intelligent. It's hard to put one over on them.
really?
Did we watch the same interview?
Le Pen dodges responsibility for her and her party's own statements.
I don't think I've ever seen a cnn headline that just says "Right", it's all ways far-right.
She es far right, what are you talking about?
How much do you watch CNN, I see them say that constantly. Romney is right, trump is far right. They constantly make that distinction.

I disagree. I think they were good questions.

He can no longer answer the time question and the reporters can only ask DNC pre approved questions. The major media outlets are fake and a threat to the countries they cover.

She’s not wrong
The voters are the ones to decide the government, not the political parties.
However, sometimes the radicals should be dealt with through legal means (coalitions, etc).
Voters voted for various parties which are fascist. Do you support Hungary's ruling party? What about the Nazis? Or the ayatollahs in Iran? Or the Hindutva crowd in India? Or the Islamist extremists who won in Algeria? Or the MAGA Republicans in the US?
Voters only engage in the ritual of voting, they have no actual powers; where power is depends on where you look for it- is it really in the hands of a single person? A group of experts and elites, or do you exert any real power even after you periodically cast you votes? Or is it, that most power around you never came from being asked about your opinion?
Yeah? And sometimes the people are flawed, that's where the politicians, who are supposed to be better than the populace, are expected to set the standard for which govt is ran; if a govt is corrupt and inept the fault lies with the people who elected those officials.
@@Anthony-dy5cq Don't forget, a select few can artificially manufacture "consent"
LePen is doing an excellent job of defending her party, and not allowing the mainstream media to put simplistic labels on her and her party. There is great benefit from keeping France French and keeping Italy Italian, etc. These cultures have developed in refreshingly different ways with respect to art, culture, cuisine, literature, language and so many other ways. There is no benefit from creating a mono culture.
My understanding is that Marin Le Pen’s party is very similar to what De Gaul argued for.
The Rassemblement National was co founded by her father and former waffen SS members.
Its original name, Front National, was taken from a WW2 communist resistance movement, as most far right movements start: pretending to have a social goal, ie taking votes from the left, while going on a nationalist angle, while the left switched to internationalism after WW1. Now after the USSR crimes were revealed, and it collapsed, not many votes to steal, so, new name.
Sidenote, militants of the party were known for violence against people in general, especially political opponents or of foreign origin, going to the murder of a kid. Shot in the back, while he was running to get his bus with friends.
Her father got his fortune by dispossessing credulous patriotic inheritors and elderly couples of all their belongings in service of the "cause". She entered politics in the party, as did her niece. If the cult of personnality and nepotism isn't as advanced as with Trump, it's still very much present.
So, for commenters who have absolutely zero idea of what they're talking about, yes, it's a far right party that rebranded itself, and since the political spectrum otherwise is rather awful, more and more people want to give it a chance.
That's as awful an idea as reelecting Trump or the Milei election in Argentina.
Oh, and one last thing: The RN is a nationalist party...Funded by a foreign power.
Russia.
The violent, mafious, kleptocracy, currently invading Ukraine.
A scam party at many levels.
the only scam being pulled is the one run by the Far-Left extremists against the French People.

Amanpour has become a corporate leftist shill
The press being patronizing and rude is what empowers her 😐
You KNOW what she is!!!
You're just attempting to defend her RACIST/XENOPHOBIC BS because you agree with her
This smug attitude has to end, it looks absolutely ridiculous when a representative of a failed democracy is "instructing" others on the subject.
Yes the interviewer was kind of condescending.
@@phoque121… 🙄rude and patronizing? Demanding answers to questions of a politician to inform the public is not rude nor patronizing.
The interviewer did nothing wrong. It is the job of the press to push, without being rude. There was no rudeness here, while the interviewee lied through her teeth.
We in England are hoping and praying that the national rally party win ,we here are watching and praying for you,we all need to put our countries first and deal with immigration it's out of control.
Was she invited for an interview or an argument ?? What's the point of inviting someone for an interview and not letting them talk lol
That is CNN policy
it was an attacking interview which I believe Marine Le Penn answered very well.
If changes from all of those interviews where the journalist let the politics spread their BS freely
If you hold extreme views, expect tough questions.

No amount of shaming, attacking, making up stories and accusations will help at this point, the French voters have spoken like it or not - the cat is out of the sack...
The french voters still have to vote a second time, so no.
Making France great again is hilarious. Perhaps they want to go back to the halcyon days of WWII when Germany walked in and pushed them over. France's national defense capabilities = zero, but they've always been anti-immigration and nationalist, so that part checks out.
It's very, very telling that a journalist repeating the ACTUAL behavior of Le Pen and her party is an "accusation." The Germans spoke in the 1930s, too, now didn't they?
The French voters haven’t given them a majority in vote share or in seats as of yet, so this is rather odd of you to say.
It’s also funny to see Le Pen take more responsibility for those (real) candidates while her supporters make up lies about them not existing.
French people must set themselves free and embrace their racism😂😂...oui oui allé les bleus🎉🎉fun fact even the frenchies living the luxury life(expats) all over africa are voting for the far right😂😂😂French people are so funny😊

Lying all the time to create confusion and divide people, right!
Haha I was about to write it 😂
Except she is lying about what far right is. And what Center right is. Discousting.
LePen gave reasonable and logical answers. I guess that's considered far right nowadays.
".......reasonable and logical answers. I guess that's considered far right nowadays." And the most disgusting part of that all, is that anyone who doesn't completely fall in line with all their constantly updated woke nonsense on a almost weekly and monthly and yearly basis are immediately considered far right. As with the attempts in putting all the transgender people up at the front of the cultural place in line. Transgender people aren't any different from anyone else and don't need to be given any special cultural significance, to best simplify it, WHO CARES if transgender people either don't or do exist at all!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
i know where you comin from, but: shes a white nationalist, its beyond far right... you didnt understand her populism, you didnt understand her commitment to a feudal elitarian world order and her hopes to be a part of this elite later on...
she changed her tone for American interview. Her french interviews are wild.
Her political views match far right views, therefore she is far right. She is surely far from the center.
@hanshansen3885 What far right views are you referring to? Can you give some examples?
When asked if the people would be expelled, LePen gave a very balanced and sound response that was extremely accommodating. Then, the reporter ignorantly pressed her again with the same question and made her look like she hadn't answered it the first time which she had.
these CNN shills aren't interested in truth or facts.
" I think we are someplace between center right and center left in the United States."

Le Pen needs a trial. She has Ukrainian blood on her hands.
Am a great admirer of Amanpour, since the 2nd Iraq war when she was in the streets of Baghdad, while all the other journalists ("the boys") were 'embedded' in the US Army riding tanks far away from the front lines or where hunkered down in the 'green zone'. Imagine: in Iraq at war, interviewing people in the streets of Baghdad, when shelling was obliterating city blocks, where people where blowing themselves up in the streets to take out a dozen people, and on top of that a woman(!)...
But she blew it on this interview. Most European far right parties' policies are actually left of American centrist-left & right/far-right parties (economy, social, state's roles, against laissez-faire capitalism, etc), but more aligned w the American far right wrt immigration policies.
Amanpour conflated both in her questions & attitude, whereas MLP clearly answered from a liberal policies standpoint.
PS: French here, who's been living in the US for the last 25 years, and US citizen.
Le Pen should retire
No!
I think she actually answered very reasonably and respectfully.

That's because you're a far-right extremist... everything that's on your left is considered "leftist"... makes sense.
True Communist.
Le Pen represents the far right - not moderate and not the voice of the majority
She is not a leftist or communist. She is working for US State Department and potentially CIA. From her first reports from Iraq, Than Yugoslav war, NATO bombing of Serbia and so on. Her husband is in State Department ,and somehow she always comes with "exclusive revelations". Needles to say her style of questioning reminds me more of Guantanamo interrogation than interviewing. Interesting to watch her taking "high ground " in some interviews and soft balling in others.
@@warrenash5370you don't know what that word means man.
I love that Madame Le Pen does not comment or express a preference for the US election. This used to be the way of well trained politicians not so long ago. Not to get involved or endorse a particular side in a foreign election. This needs to be maintained in future politics. You cannot accuse Russian or Chinese agents of interfering in foreign elections and see it as a bad thing and then ask a candidate in a non US country to express a preference for one or other candidate in a US election. The Journo was hoping that Le Pen would fall into the trap of expressing a preference. Slimy Journalism at its worst.
It doesn’t matter who she endorses because she’s lost yet again 😂
Amanpour is not asking her if she is extreme right she is TELLING her she is. Not an interviewer.
Question is, why is she ashamed of being on the far right? It is in her DNA, one just needs to read her biography, like Amanpour did.
She is far right, that has always been the claim of the party and it's position in the political landscape. The fact she doesn't like the image anymore doesn't change anything.
Spot on.

I am a centrist and do not like LaPen, but Amanpour was very disrespectful towards her and treated it like an interrogation session instead of an interview. I could only stand 2 1/2 minutes of the video b/c it seemed like LaPen was "the adult in the room" and seemed professional unlike Amanpour. When LaPen is the "reasonable" one, you have to be a tyrant! I miss the days of REAL unbiased journalism ( Brinkley, Cronkite, Jennings, and Brocaw) before all this advocacy journalism nonsense of CNN/FOX spewing biased hatred in all directions and dividing society in the US. Way to go CNN/FOX you both deserve equal blame for pushing the Democratic and Republican parties to the extremes istead of having a stable centrist government on either side of the isle.
agree.
Le Pen is a scumbag. She needs to be confronted.
Is Le Pen centrist?😂
Ohhh dear. Don’t ask a liar questions ..no non no
It's not about "disrespectful". Amanpour, like always, is manipulative and disgusting. Most people unfortunately are not trained in rhetoric or debate, and therefore don't see her (and other "journalists") rhetoric tricks and manipulations. Marine LePen, however, demonstrated an amazing level of competence. Finally, France will get a president worthy of legacy of Napoleon and DeGaulle.
Everything's 'far right' when you're 'far left'.
Being far right just means you have the vast majority of the political class to your left. In the US political landscape, she is indeed centre right. Amanpour just doesn't know European politics enough... It's a matter of ignorance, not political ideology.

The translator is doing all THAT work.
Fascists can be well spoken.
Marine Le Pen is correct. The right parties in France and in much of Western Europe are much more liberal than the American right wing, and also the centrist left, except in the sense of their immigration policies, which have seen, up until now, very liberal practices.
Wide open borders you call "policies " ...
... in fact no borders
You should do your homework first, before posting. Already her father was an extreme right wing politician, far righter than the people from the German AfD, far righter the Widlers or Farage's party. You need to know a bit more than just what those people are presenting to you on the surface, if you want to make a judgement on their movemement. You need to know the movemements history. LePen has just learnt in the last few years that, when you present yourself as far right, you just don't get into any powerful politicial position in France, but if you position yourself as moderate, then you get into those position where you can then make the necessary chnages to show once again, what you really are. And people obviously are truely pea-brained and have true short term memory not to see what she's up to. Much like with Republicans etc. Turn on your heels once and forget what such people just recently said and did. How people can act liek that is beyond me.
Hitler didn't show his true face from the beginning, but once those people are in power, you will very quickly see their true face of hate.
Her party was founded by fascists. And the French people agreed.
The Right in Europe may be less Right than the American Right. So what? That's like comparing dogs*** with cats***. The USA has got to deal with Trump; we in Europe are now in the position of making sure we don't get another Hitler; and if you don't know what Hitler did that Trump has not (yet) done, look him up.

Amanpour acting like a jerk than an interviewer
Why? Le Pen is the boss of the party - she's in charge, hence she's liable to answer uncomfortable questions about her "unruly" party members. Let Amanpour ask a thousand such questions.
She’s holding her to account. And the electorate has done the same.
as she should. Stop watching Fox News where they lob softball questions to make candidates more "comfortable" - easier to spread propaganda that way. You've become so used to fake "Fox" News spewing propaganda that you like many Americans have forgotten what gritty journalism is: holding leaders accountable for their words and actions.
For the record I despise CNN, Fox and all cable news because it requires "gotcha" articles and clickbait to keep the revenue streams in. I do respect the few true journalists out there like Amanpour.
she always does, she's mean
@@katarn999 Acting tough questions is one thing but has amanpour asked any valid question and if any quest was valid did she asked it right way?
She made made good point about Racist comments but when Le pen answered saying that 'Its in the hands of system of French law so she can't comment other than we won't tolerate this'
Media has went so biased that anything other than their prejudice or their motive has become a Nazi.
Remember Le pen barred her own father from party because of his dark comments. If that don't speaks volume then what?
Also we have seen left leaning Media houses in this case CNN (Clinton News Network) have villianised everything that is not Far left including the time
When FL supported Hamas' work on October the Left to Center also condemned the FL behaviour just like centrist and RN
And after that Media hater the Center to Left too!
Le Pen's comments that it is inappropriate to comment on the current Presidential race should be a lesson for other European leaders. We don't need other countries telling us who to vote for. Not sure about her otherwise, but that was a wise and respectful thing to say.
The US elections are for the US, but they impact the entire world, so everybody has an opinion on the matter. I think everybody has a right to comment on the US elections, just not a right to interfere with it, like Russia did...
She on trial for stealing 6.8 million euro's of EU funds. The only lesson should be.. Don't be like her.
We Europeans don't try to teach the US on what to vote. That's your business, not ours.
Nevertheless we do look at the candidates and evaluate what election of one or the other means to us. The conclusion is, there's one candidate who supports a prosperous relationship for the benefit of both. And another who wants to abandon NATO as well as Europe and at the same time teach us lessons on how to end the war in Ukraine. We have to prepare for election of the latter candidate, which is why we talk about him.

@@vivastrango8980 I don't think either should react hastily and rash - but let the system do what the system has to do.
This in both cases!
I do not doubt the party-members typically do not do this in regards to crime commited by anyone they deem to be "foreign". There is a tendency to this in every country... but it will mature... and the arguments will become better and more reasonable.
I am not just saying it - I have seen it - we have this party i Denmark aswell - they gained a huge popularity quickly and rose to achieve 20% of the votes in 2015 i Denmark. This is a lot in a multipartysystem. They nearly became the largest party. Instead of allying around them to avoid this party gaining influence, this is not the tradition in Denmark, so there was pragmatic work with and around them - and they were (and are) part of larger political negotiations and settlements... and the party has matured over the years... and so have the other parties...
There is still racism - probably maybe a problem no country will ever truely get rid of - it seems a bit like that. But not at all the same blunt and degrading kind... and the debates on a societal level have matured. The politicians who were before either "pro-multicultural" or "pro-nationalism" are now nuanced, and have sober and relevant debates on which may be the better choice in different cases and contexts. Also - they actually disagree on a more foundational political level - rather than the "pro et contra" level...
But these changes do - and did in Denmark - take some time - because they are very difficult conversations in a society - and when you tell someone they are a fascist their arguments do not become better or more elaborate... I would reccommend that France listen to these... well - what seems to be almost 30% of the voters... and take them into daily consideration and accommodate some of their concerns... because it makes in the long term for at better society ... if all citizens have their concerns heard - rather than be told they are evil a vicious and dangerous for democracy... and even that they are akin to nazis. Which they are not, not in any way. Not the 30% - a few perhaps... but i it unlikely it is that many. Most of them are scared - and tired ... and tired of non-secular religious people making them feel unsafe...
They are concerned about what they see as EU-activism - making demands on the French and so on... This was all the same in Denmark i 2015... we also had the terrorattack on the synagogue and this hardened the rethoric - and probably for understable and maybe even good reasons. As you know we are the country of both the muhammed-drawings, and also of the dude who felt compelled to burn qorans in his demonstrations... So we have certainly in Denmark had our share of challenges related to the multicultural approach... and it is something we are working through. But France needs to let these shares of its population also be not only heard but also accommodated and brougt into the political designing and structuring of the future. Because it simply is the democratic way. And because this is how you will se them eventually become mature and be held to account by their voters... This has happened in Denmark, and the debates are now relevant and nuanced, and very very important. But we probably had to go through a period of learning how to voice concerns over multiculturalism, how to descibe what is valuable about enlightenment, about secularism, about our own culture and traditions - and about why it is fair that we want a lot of those upheld.
I am sure - that if you let it - and trust your strong institutions, and your constitution - then France and other countries in Europe too will find better ways to debate the current and reelvant cultural issues at stake in our societies in an estremely globalized and regionalized world.
It is a period - the party needs accountability - it will only get this by being part of the active legislature - rather than only being in opposition.
The French don't want to be replaced.
By what?
Imagine how we felt when the French colonized and brutalized us
Imagine how the countries they colonized feel with their assimilation policy and the CFA Franc forced on them.
Then, they get the hell out of Africa. People migrating to France are just following their stolen resources. They don’t want Africans, they should give up African resources then.
Have you taken a plan from France going to Africa? If yes, who were the main occupants going to Africa?
The worst behaviour I have ever seen from Amanpour. Arms crossed and on the defensive. She needs to keep her nose out of Frances' politics.
She just treated the nazi like a nazi without pretending that it's ok. And you need to keep your comments off the internet.
@@Kerphelio01The "nazi" card, 🥱.
@@Kerphelio01 So that's why Serge Klarsfeld, France's most famous hunter of actual Nazis endorsed Le Pen's party. But i'm sure you know better than a french nazi-hunter about who in france is a nazi.

You should have seen Amanpour back in the nineties, during the Bosnian civil war, how she was trained to report enormous lies on daily bases, constantly accusing the Serbs and taking sides of Muslims.
Amanapour is losing her stuff.
Shes deranged and out of touch. I have been following her a long time - she doesnt ave a clue what is happening in the East, the Eurasia and Europe. The world is rapidly changing and such virtue signalling from US will not be tolerated anymore.
You know who’s losing? Marine Le Pen. Yet again.
The msm are cracking up with elections in uk/usa/Europe, the left are loosing big😂
😂😂😂 that's a pile of 💩
"People in your party are being racist"
"Those are *black* sheeps"
I can't
Christiane, instead of criticizing Le Pen for being insufficiently woke, why not ask her for her vision for the future of France and why so many French voters are supporting her party?
👌
yes - and instead of wishing her dissociate herself from some singular case, why not ask her opinion on the issue of that particular case (what ever it was - because it was all about dissociation not about any kind of interest in opion or value of Le Pen).
US-based journalist have lost connection to substance - it all seems to be surface - alliances and dissociations.
It became so incredibly obvious watching a US-journalist interview a European politician. I am thankfull that we are not yet used to this kind of flatulence in Europe - I hope we keep this low level of clownery away from our shores...
US is known for cow-boyery and famed for it. Rightly so - you have muscled and willed yourselves great and should rightly take great pride in that. Now it may be time you took some pride in more than that. In enlightment, in nuance, in debate, in coherent and consistence arguments of substance.
I hope US-citizens are more wise and more intelligent than their media lead us to believe!
@@dunecarin In my opinion, the US has polarized into two camps. One side views life as a power struggle between groups of victims and groups of oppressors. The other side has the Enlightenment view that each individual is responsible for the choices they make and the consequences of those choices. The Woke want to overthrow tradition. Since they view themselves as victims, the world has to change before their lives can improve. The traditional patriots appreciate the sacrifices made by previous generations, realize that time tested values work, and just want to enjoy the freedom, prosperity, and opportunities we have. Many life-long Democrats are being cancelled and vilified by the Woke for believing in free speech and preferring observational science over social constructs. The Woke have captured all of the institutions, from the universities to the Pentagon. The 2024 election will be won by whoever harvests the most ballots. Expect an Orwellian outcome.
@@BigPictureYT I do recognize the picture your strokes a painting - and do not disagree...
And wokes are on both sides by the way... along the political spectrum (not necessarily claiming we have one - but for this point it makes sense). In Denmark we have a lot of identity politics on the "right" aswell... not simply patriotism or nationalism, but really weird shit... just like on the left...
We certainly seem to be entereing even more Orwellian outcomes... but we have to believe there is still hope for humanity and that they can actually overcome this phase... the tide is definately turning severely in my own country... slowly but definately. Politicians are talking substance... they have arguments, and unfold these rather than shift blame... interesting times... in many ways...
@@dunecarin We humans evolved as tribal animals. Even if outsiders seemed friendly, they could infect us with fatal diseases, and sometimes did. So each tribe developed easy ways to recognize other members of their tribe; for example, the folk costumes of various European regions, the ways that teenagers conform in dress style, and the blue hair and nose rings of the Woke Feminists. So I am not surprised to read that some people on the right see themselves as victims. For myself, being a victim means waiting for the world to change. I prefer to accept responsibility, take action, and make progress.
Christians Amanpour is always predictable, partisan as usual.
Because shd doesn't ask LePen nice questions ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Partisan meaning what? She's always had her foot on the scale in favor of the Renaissance Party?
I actually don't think there was a live translator here. Amanpour can speak French but delivered in English, Le Pen can speak English but delivered in French.
Fascists pretending to throw out candidates for not being politically correct when their whole existence is politically incorrect is absolutely hilarious

The interviewer's arrogance unfortunately served Evil Le Pen. Very unfortunate to have given her the stage.. and opportunity to be half smart.
Absolutely, far-right is used too casually and becomes a way to discredit any disagreement against current policy.
The far-right is well defined and exists no matter how much you deny it.
@@rui569and far left isn't?
Her point was mainly that in the US context, her party would be centre right. The republican party is indeed further to the right compared to Lepen policies.
No it's not. You just don't like how easily people can identify what you are.
I say wanting to kick every brown person out of France to maintain it's "racial purity" is a pretty far-right stance, yeah
Amanpour is really stretching to get a gotcha moment
"Troubling statements"? It's the ideology of their party. Don't legitimise them. Call them what they are.
Penn didn’t say anything. She has that in common with other dictators. Lots of words, saying nothing.
This is 10 minutes I will never get back. What a car-crash interview for Christiane.
Marine loses yet again 😂
Turns out Amanpour knows a lot more than you do.
far-right=Normal people
"Far Right" are people that are against massive non-European immigration apparently.
Which, by the way, was not a controversial issue at all a short while ago in human history.
Normal people are not hateful
You're so smart!
Yeah, the Ayatollah, Orban, Putin, Trump, Erdogan... - they are truly the "normal" ones, while arranging your life to how they want you to live.
Far-right = losers. Yet again.
Amanpour's body language made her look very defensive. 😂
Is this trial or interview? Why did anchor attempt to cut her speech off. It was one of the rudest things
I am french here. What is this arrogant journalist please?🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
Just repeat after me, "Yankee go home." (Love from Dixie)
She is British, MAGA TRAITORS
She represents the left which labels anyone against them as nazis, "far-right" in an effort to dehumanize and vilify them in the minds of their voters who recently have grown disenfranchised with the handling of illegal immigration, excessive diversity compassion at the cost of its citizens well being. Very similar to France
I agree, they’re all arrogant.
She is an arrogant, self righteous leftist who trades on her phony British accent.
"We had to find 1000 candidates in 48 hours". So what I'm hearing is that there was literally no vetting whatsoever.
The fact that she wasn’t prepared with a list ready to go, shows they shouldn’t be in power.
No, that is not what was said, even though it is what you were hearing. Maybe your hearing needs to be examined.

Support Russia and get the boot. Viva la France! Le Pen should have supported democracy instead of dictatorships.
Well said marine lepen , your party is patriotic not far right
What would be your definition of 'far right'?
Patriotic? With dirty Russian money? 😂
Right...patriotic just like the January 6 thugs in the USA. White Nationalists like the word patriot but don't understand the true definition.
"patriotism" is, and has always been, the refuge of scoundrels. She is a white nationalist and has repeatedly disparaged French citizens who do not look like her.
Europeans should not apologise for being nationalist.
She lies through her teeth, but one would not expect otherwise: it's difficult for someone to defend something, even if it is true, that goes against their interests. Only democracy allows these characters to have publicity and airtime.
There is no democracy with Islam
she lies though her teeth!! Lol the fact she is looks like winning in france is because the voters have decided to vote for her simply because the current leader has not done as he promised over and over! And done the opposite instead! Yet she is the liar!! not the leaders of the passed that have lied and not delivered
"Far-Right" is officially synonymous with "Just-Right"

Looks Like Miss Amanpour was owned in a very diplomatic way.
Looks like Miss Amanpour was right and the French electorate rejected Marine yet again.
She shouldn't even have to be on CNN to justify herself. Especially with such a typically ignorant journalist
she has to stop hiding and taking softball questions
The fringe right-wing extremists are rendered utterly speechless when confronted with any questions about their radical agenda. If the people choose to support it, so be it-but at least have the courage to stand by it. I'm eager to witness this so-called Utopia they plan to establish, with an unparalleled level of competence and righteousness, led by these supposedly infallible individuals who intend to put the the toothpaste back in the tube. Can't wait.
Journalist? or Puppet?
She had to justify herself to the French electorate. And she failed. Yet again.
I seriously doubt anyone put a gun on her head to answer an interview on CNN.
That far-right label should be taken with great disdain.
Conservative, ultra conservative are the proper description.
LePen is not a conservative. She is not even married.
I always found it odd when they label Marine Le Pen and others with similar policies as "far right". They are just a grass roots "right". They call Nigel Farage "far right", that leaves Tommy Robinson without a label.
Just learn about the Le Pen family and discover why she's labeled as far right.
A recurring pattern in these sorts of interviews is the striking level of respectfulness in those who support sovereignty and freedom as compared to the insulting and downright disrespectful 'liberal' interviewers, of which Amanpour is a prime example.
That's a broad brush. The fallacy of 'post hoc' and a confirmation bias. Confirmation biases contribute to overconfidence in personal beliefs and can maintain or strengthen beliefs in the face of contrary evidence. Hence they can lead to disastrous decisions, especially in organizational, military, political and social contexts.
Precisely
What nonsense. Politicians with aspirations to exercise power should be thoroughly questioned.
@patrikfloding7985 Yeah right, especially from factual complicit and corrupt propaganda outlets such as this??? G.T.H.O.H
respectfulness ? trying to blur lines, as Le Pen does in the interview when she pretends that her party's lines are somewhere around the center (7:20), is a typical tactic that comes straight out of the fascist playbook… and it's obviously disrespectful, as the reaction of the interviewer clearly shows (that's even the title of the clip)… no one who thinks they can fool people through such misleading suggestions can be said to truly act respectfully…
meanwhile, asking though questions to a candidate is what political journalism is all about… that doesn't imply any disrespect… good luck pointing to insult and disrespect on the part of Amanpour in this video…
If being a nationalist means wanting secure borders and law & order, then call me a nationalist. 🤷🏾♀️
by law and order, do you mean republiNazi control?
Not what it means but sure, ur a white Christian nationalist.
Those are dog whistles, lol….. if you can’t spot them and read about her… then you are being manipulated.
No a nationalist certainly in European terms is someone who is out to hurt a lot of people. Look what the nationalists did in neighbouring Germany a century ago. they ended up kicking off a war that saw 60 million - mostly Europeans dead. Actually, it was the actions of nationalists that lead to Europe becoming multi-racial. Foreign (non white) people from Africa, Asia, Mid East and the Caribbean were invited to Europe to replenish a dead workforce - even my own parents came to Europe during this wave of migration.
Dog whistles for who ?@@user-dy6ue1jw9p
Don't like the self righteous, smug Amanpour but was curious to hear from Le Pen.
"... is this acceptable?" Well, clearly it is, because the voters have voted for it. This whole "tender feelings" gag, is so tired, worn out, and downright funny at this point.
Holding French government accountable more so than your own....embarrassing.
The only job of the liberal American press is to hold its government responsible for everything.
Why do Americans always want to tell other nations what to do?
*It's caII Arrogance.*
Because we protect them and foot the bill to keep the world turning

It's called pay for your own protection or STFU
Amanpour is still alive?
Le Pen, the 90's wants their hair style back.
7:18 -- _"The equivalent of what we are in the U.S. is between ... um ... the center right and the center left"_ ... WTF?! It doesn't make any sense ... at all. Of course her movement is the far right! Come on now. What BS is this weird statement? Like she tries to say _"Nah, don't worry ... we care cool. We are not the bad ones. We are not extreme, you know."_ I find her antipathic and I don't trust her. Not even a bit ... BS!
7:29 -- _"You're kidding me, right?"_ YES! Exactly!
Democrats are right wing in Europe
RN will make laws to protect France population from the "great replacement". This is not far right, it is what French nation wants.
Amanpour, always at the service of the establishment (ever since the Bosnian war).

She used to be a good journalist, now she’s just an activist.
That's why she needs CNN advertising her as a good journalist at least 50 times a day, 365 days a year to convince you otherwise. Not convinced yet? Damn, you can still use your brain!
So sad that LePen cannot just unequivocally say that she is against it. Instead she wants to explain it all away instead of first unequivocally say they are unacceptable.
Biased "interview". Le Pen has been great answering any thing she had to answer.
Great as lying every 2 words. Candidates were annunced to be ready since March 24. Her party has voted against any aid for Ukraine since 2022. Do you really believe any f… lie?
It's only biased because you love Le pen. Snowflakes like you should get used to politicians getting tough questions.
@@mu5265 Its actually LFI ( the far left in France ) that voted against aid to UA, The RN didn't vote and let the president chose by himself since he is the head of the army, check your facts please.
The answers she gave *looks* great but if u spend abt 15 minutes fact checking it's an other story.
That's why french people don't trust anymore the politics...
For instance, Marine Le Pen said they had to put "a thousand candidates in 48 hours". The reality is that her party had already planned for it since March and they already had 90% of their candidates on the 19th of March !
An other lie in the same sentence : for this election each party only had to run 583 candidates (abt half of what she said...)
If u wanna fact check just google "Plan Matignon RN" or "90% candidats RN mars"
In France, there isn't a lot of journalists who are willing to directly say to the candidate "Hey ur def lying there, here's the fact and the source". That's sad and lead to even more misinformation than in the US...
@@Scidzcopter LFI is arguably not far-left. But it's an other debate :D
I find it difficult to see this interview as a journalistic piece; it feels more like an interrogation."
If you hold extreme views, you get tough questions. And as much as she tries to come across as reasonable, her party was founded by literal fascists.
And the people of France have rejected them yet again.
Amanpour missed the opportunity to lead an interesting conversation.
European American living in Europe. I love and am proud of our rich cultural heritage! Let’s celebrate, preserve, cherish, and protect it!
The more I listen to Amanpour, the more I detest her.
Let's see her talk to the leaders of Iran or Hamas this way.
⚠️ she's confortable with western leaders who protect human rights
Exactly! She would no doubt grovel
I feel the opposite…. And she’s very very attractive… 😀love her❤️
She has and asked tough questions like this one. Maybe look things up before coming on here and posting dumb comments.
Anyone that dares be interviewed by her is held to the same standards. You detest her because she’s exposing the people you support. You should consider that.
Le Pen should never do interviews with CNN.
I think she actually lowered herself more than if she wore burka, seriously.
Actually, LePen, Nationsl Rally[in a its incarnatins Should NEVER Be Heard From Any Time ANYWHERE.
Just watch any of her interviews with any of the Hungarians - she is very beatable actually if challenged with facts and similar energy to her own. I don’t think Le Pen particularly lost this segment either.
Why ?
None of you are french. So mind your own dam business
