We know very well that men talk a lot.[14] Delphine Wespiser claims that Marine Le Pen has a form of benevolence.[15] In an article on the trivialization of far-right ideas in France, the newspaper Le Monde returns to this episode by noting that the former Miss France was not worried about her comments while some time ago, such an outing would have been synonymous with expulsion from the French audiovisual landscape.[16] On February 1, 2024, she declared on Sud Radio: "I love Jordan Bardella. I find him very intelligent, I find him brilliant. I think he has a presidential future".[17]
