Marine Le Pen threatens to wear Kevlar suit after anti-Semitic allegations against Jordan Bardella

If Marine Le Pen publicly threatens her, she must be hit hard. The French frontwoman of the right-wing extremists usually likes to talk about her cat breeding and about bringing peace to France. Now Le Pen appeared unusually aggressive: She told journalists from the French investigative media Mediapart that they had better get a “Kevlar suit” – a reference to bulletproof clothing.

Le Pen has every reason to be nervous: This week, Mediapart published clearly anti-Semitic sentences that Le Pen's foster son Jordan Bardella is said to have written in private forums and messenger services when he was in his mid-twenties between 2013 and 2015. “The Jew must dominate other peoples, crush them and steal from them,” he is said to have written, according to the investigative medium. Bardella is also said to have cited other conspiracy myths: that Jews controlled all the banks or that the most important ministries were given to Jews.
