MAGA Rages After Far-Right Leader Marine Le Pen Jailed and Banned From Running for President [View all]

MAGA Rages After Far-Right Leader Jailed and Banned From Running for President (The Daily Beast)

Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzling millions from the European Parliament.

MAGA influencers used a guilty verdict against a French far-right leader Monday as evidence of Europe’s anti-democratic tendencies, claiming Marine Le Pen was only targeted due to her views.

Le Pen has been jailed for four years and banned from standing for office after a court found her guilty of embezzling millions of euros from the European Parliament.

Le Pen, one of the frontrunners for the French presidency in 2027, stormed out of the courtroom as a judge fined her about $108,000 and handed her an immediate five-year ban from public office, effectively ending her presidential ambitions.
