French fascist leader and leader of France's National Assembly political group, Marine Le Pen took to Twitter to attack the recent boycott movement in Qatar. The movement was sparked by the recent offensive comments by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Faisons respecter la France et répondons à ces indignes intimidations et rétorsions. MLP
