Emmanuel Macron, the centrist and political newcomer, defeated far-right candidate Marine Le Pen Sunday to win the French presidential election.

Macron
The EU bureaucracy

Side comment: Notice that Fox News calls Le Pen "far-right". And Macron is a "centrist". How nice. To my way of thinking, that makes Fox = CNN.

I was just going to say that. Macron is a socialist globalist and Le Pen is a moderate France first politician. In ONLY the FAR LEFT is Le Pen far right.

France just signed it’s own death warrant. When I was in France in the town of Chamonoix, I was dragging bags of climbing gear from the train station to my motel and had frenchies cross the street to yell at me. Don’t know how they knew I was from the USA, but I wouldn’t help them for anything now, ever. F-france.

More like Chelsea Clinton. At least de Gaulle smelled gunpowder.

Let’s look at this a different way. Maybe now some of the snowflakes who can’t deal with President Trump will emigrate to the new “progressive” France.

Sound familiar?

“I am for an open society. I am for a progressive world. I do not propose to reform France; I propose to transform it at its deepest level.”

— Mr. Macron, in an interview with The New York Times

You were likely not dragging your bags in properly accented French!;)
