Oh look!
A publicity stunt to distance herself from being a raving anti-Semite.
Marine Le Pen has “temporarily” stepped down as leader of the party most associated with her notoriously racist father.
JUST IN: Far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen steps down as leader of National Front party to "unite all French people"

One hopes French voters aren’t naive enough to call this anything but what it is: a transparent smoke screen (smoke screens that are transparent usually aren’t very effective).
Here’s AP
French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has announced that she is temporarily stepping down as head of her National Front party.
Monday’s move appears to be a way for Le Pen to embrace a wide range of potential voters ahead of the May 7 runoff between herself and Emmanuel Macron, the independent centrist who came in first in Sunday’s first round.
“Tonight, I am no longer the president of the National Front. I am the presidential candidate,” she said on French public television news.
Le Pen has said in the past that she is not a candidate of her party, and made that point when she rolled out her platform in February, saying the measures she was espousing were not her party’s, but her own.
so anti-semetic that the Jews will be forced to flee for their lives if she loses
Jews are already fleeing from islamoleftist Europe.
“smoke screens that are transparent usually aren’t very effective”
Trump’s were effective enough to bring the world to the brink, and were totally transparent to anyone who thinks even a little.
“anyone who thinks even a little” being the key phrase there
Exactly. And given their constituency, it’s no wonder they succeed.
Marine Le Pen, a “raving anti-Semite”?
Is that satire?
