Indeed, several years ago, the host had revealed on television Charlie Hebdo's front page compared Marine Le Pen's candidacy to excrement.

Asked about the death of Jean-Marie Le Pen by Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, the host said: “I don't have much to say because the death of any man, whoever he may be, saddens me. So I'm not going to cry over Jean-Marie Le Pen… Peace be upon him his &soul”, he says.

Laurent Ruquier gives his opinion on the disappearance of Jean-Marie Le Pen

For Laurent Ruquier, it is fundamental to have to respect the person who disappears. “We can't say that he has bothered us in recent years. Today, in any case, he is no longer the problem.And alas, his daughter, it must be remembered, there is a lineage, despite the change of name (FN to RN editor's note), there are stories, origins, I don't forget them”, he says.

Laurent Ruquier thus denounces the omnipresence of the RN: “Even if I do see, and among voters too, we shouldn't always blame the media, it's also the people who vote…”. The opportunity too for the host to settle some scores. “We saw Zemmour (on screen, editor's note). I was often criticized for having favored these ideas. And I often responded to this by saying: “You know, in 2002, Jean-Marie Le Pen was already in the second round, you can't blame Eric Zemmour or the media… It was the French who put him in the second round”. 

The host settles his scores

Thus, Laurent Ruquier preferred to set the record straight. The host received in his show On n'est pas couché many political figures who were interviewed by Eric Zemmour, Eric Naulleau, or Aymeric Caron and Léa Salamé.

Two of them went into politics: the first by founding the Reconquête party and Aymeric Caron by joining La France Insoumise and becoming a member of parliament.
