Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin while Germany was under Adolph Hitler’s rule. In front of a Nazi regime and a stadium saturated in swastikas, Jesse Owens won four gold metals.
And now, the daughter of a Nazi, who is also one of Putin’s pals, Marine Le Pen, could for the first time since World War II, bring a far-right government to France. Marine Le Pen is following in her Führer loving father’s footsteps with her take on advancing the Jean-Marie Le Pen family name along with his Nazi beliefs. A cleaned-up version of far right…a kind of petite Nazi for France. The same authoritarian premise with more palatable public optics. The cat lady with Nazi ties and Russian money, Marine Le Pen, is a Putin approved asset. Merde alors.
