The joke doesn't make everyone laugh.
Eric Zemmour was, this Wednesday morning, visiting the Milipol show, dedicated to the internal security of States, which opened the day before in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis) and brings together the major players involved in the various themes of the sector : fight against terrorism, protection of citizens, urban safety, local security and defense against major natural or health risks ... The opportunity for the polemicist, still not officially declared as a presidential candidate in 2022, to go and do a tour on the stand of the company PGM and to approach the high precision rifles used by the Raid.
"It laughs more, eh!
"
As reported by several journalists on the spot, Eric Zemmour was able to take the weapon in hand.
"When you are president, you will be protected by these weapons," the demonstrator told him.
What galvanize the one who leaves the doubt on his race for the presidency.
According to the images and the journalists present, Eric Zemmour then seized the weapon with both hands, which he aimed at the press.
"It laughs more, eh!
Push up, go, back up, back up!
He amused himself, pointing the gun.

What to trigger the anger of Marlène Schiappa.
On Twitter, the Minister Delegate in charge of Citizenship rebelled against this attempt at humor.
"Aiming at journalists with a gun telling them to step
back!"
is not funny.
It is horrifying.
Especially after having seriously said that he wanted to
reduce the power of the media.
In a democracy, press freedom is no joke and should never be threatened, ”she wrote.
