Officially candidate for the 2022 presidential election since Tuesday noon, Eric Zemmour followed with the 20h of TF1 presented by Gilles Bouleau. A baptism of fire which he obviously did not like since he castigated the interview, considering it as "dependent" as soon as she left the stage. He also denounces the way he was treated, and compared the journalist's attitude to that of a "prosecutor". A "spoiled child" reaction, according to the "Punchline" columnists.

Officially declared for the 2022 presidential election since Tuesday noon, following a video posted on his YouTube channel, Eric Zemmour had his first hitch as a candidate.

The ex-polemicist was Gilles Bouleau's 20h guest for his very first interview.

A moment supposed to allow him to present his project for France in more than seven million homes, but which, according to Eric Zemmour, was more of an indictment.

"It was an interview with a prosecutor. In front of the others, he stands aside, politely, humbly. There has been misdemeanor, there has been even intellectual fraud. Gilles Bouleau has not done his job, he has wanted to play smart in front of his colleagues, "he said, furious, at the exit of the set of the 8pm newscast.

Lack of exercise experience

In the show

Punchline

, the chroniclers returned to this output which was as astonished as it was detonated.

He has an extraordinary chance to be able to speak in front of millions of people and to be able to defend ideas which are his. And instead of doing it, in fact, he shines. TF1, it is not Pravda (Editor's note: a newspaper created in the USSR by Lenin) ", a declared Jeannette Bougrab.

We prepare two or three punchlines because we know we will not have a lot of time ".
