OK, people, I absolutely have to share this one because it’s too delicious. I hope we have French readers on the blog because they will truly appreciate this.
In the epilogue to her series about Brigitte Macron, Candace Owens tells the viewers that Brigitte’s family has been acting suspiciously since the mid-1800. For instance, they gave all of the boys in the family names that had “Jean” in them. Jean François, Jean Michel, Jean-Georges. What other reason could there be for this if not to try to confuse people, asks Candace.
Truly priceless stuff.
But wait. This isn’t the worst.
Brigitte’s middle name, says Candace, is Marie-Claude. Claude! It’s a male name! This got to mean… something nefarious.
Every Francophone reader has at this point died of laughter because Marie-Claude is a very normal French female name. This reminded me of how when I taught at a language school many years ago, a student from Guatemala found the name Jessica to be hysterically funny. “Yessica!” he’d snort. “”Like she always say yes! Yessica! Gringo names funny!”
Brigitte’s brother Jean-Claude married a woman called Brigitte. Like his sister. “Very convenient!” exclaims Candace. Seriously, she says “very convenient.” “Is this confusion intentional?” she asks. Because it totally makes sense that Jean-Claude would choose his bride with the express purpose of confusing Candace.
This show is comedic gold. It’s no surprise late night comedy is dead. This is so much better.
