U.S. Republicans Join French Media Discussions on Ambassador Kushner's Open Letter to President Macron on Anti-Semitism (Videos)

Among the ROF members who appeared on French media this week, both of them to discuss Ambassador Charles Kushner's open letter to President Macron, were Randy Yaloz (twice) and Nicolas Conquer. We haven't received the clips from i24 and Tocsin Media (yet), but in the meantime, here is the LCI program that discussed the American ambassador's criticism of anti-semitism in France.

Paul Reen had this to say: 

Bravo to Nicolas for his excellent appearance on LCI last night defending Amb Kushner's earlier 1 on 1 with Darius Rochebin. This is such a telling show with a number of unprecedented moments IMO.  Of course they don't give Nicolas the floor until after the 12:30 min giving the usual suspects ample time to fully criticize  the Ambassador “ for breaking protocol” and for daring to  criticize Macron for not doing enough to combat anti-semitism, basically called him a liar. 

 

But it’s the unprecedented pushback and live fact-checking done by Darius’ replacement, Margot Haddad, on the sly Gallagher Fenwick that I found most unprecedented and shocking. First, he tries to claim that anti-semitic attacks in France are down 25% from last year, but she immediately counters him stating that they are still way up since Oct 7, 2023. Later, Fenwick tries to say that Trump has been lying that at Columbia Univ, Jewish students and faculty were blocked from entering the school.  Again Haddad steps in immediately to live fact-check this ridiculous claim, even showing that CNN reported on it (she is ex CNN).  Not saying that she is a right winger but it’s the first time I have seen LCI push back on one of their typical biased, lying anti-Trump, regular guests. Perhaps it’s because she is Franco-American, but finally good to see a host doing their job. Will she get reprimanded for it? We’ll see.

During the U.S. ambassador's 1 on 1 with Darius Rochebin in the American embassy discussing whether America had interfered in the internal affairs of France, Charles Kushner pushed back by pointing out that by threatening to recognize Palestine, France has certainly interfered in the internal affairs of Israel. 

 

Here is the LCI program video and below is its description:
