Friday, Everyone is talking about it had announced that he would also receive the co-host of the Lucid podcastJoël McGuirk, but, faced with the mobilization of Internet users, he was disinvited in disaster a few hours before the start of the show.
Sunday evening, Julien Bournival was therefore the only representative of his movement during the twenty-minute interview.
The man who calls himself a libertarian and defender of traditional values posed himself as a victim from the first question, deploring that he had been associated with a movement because he had participated in a podcast.
“It seems that you are surprised to be in this documentary when there were cameras in your home,” said Véronique Cloutier, present on the set.
The one who claims not to be against equality has, among other things, declared that “man is the last bastion that stands between tyranny and freedom. The man is the one who goes into battle to protect his wife, his homeland, his country.”
The interview obviously caused a lot of reaction on social networks.
