“It makes you deaf”: Éric Zemmour’s very limited remark to Jean-Luc Mélenchon on his disability

He obviously missed an opportunity to shut up. As the presidential elections approach, the candidates are increasing their interventions to promote their program and announce the measures they hope to put in place if they are elected president or president of the Republic. A television exercise in which Cyril Hanouna wanted to participate with his Face à Baba on C8, in which he receives the candidates for lively debates in front of people who are for, but also against them. Like Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who faced Éric Zemmour on Thursday, January 27, after refusing to debate with another political figure.

For a “second round” after their debate on BFMTV, the two men once again engaged in a debate, punctuated by scathing remarks, which did not fail to disconcert Cyril Hanouna. While he interrupted Jean-Luc Mélenchon in his remarks on pensions, Éric Zemmour launched to the latter “it makes you deaf“, while his competitor asked him to repeat his remark, which did not go unnoticed by the candidate of France Insoumise. And for good reason: he has been hard of hearing since birth.. “You got something against the disabled I noticed“then retorted Jean-Luc Mélenchon, referring to the controversial remarks of the candidate of Reconquest!, who denounced “the obsession with inclusion” children with disabilities in schools.

When did Jean-Luc Mélenchon discover his disability?

Portraying Éric Zemmour as a man “coarse” and “vulgar” Who “hate everyone”. “You should think. The thing you have under the hair you have left, it’s called a brain, that’s what it’s for”launched Jean-Luc Mélenchon bluntly, he who in 2016 had confided in his disability. “I was hard of hearing from birth. We didn’t know that until long after. (…) At the time, people said about me all the time: “He’s in the moon.” That is to say he’s not really there. And, indeed, I wasn’t there.”he said in The sofaexplaining that when one is deaf, one must “connect to reality” and that this “is an effort [car] you have to listen, lend an ear and, continually (…) reconstruct what others have just said”. “Being with others requires discipline, effort, it’s a voluntary act. You are with others whether you like it or not. Not me”he added.
