Where does the “"It's madness"” meme come from?
The sequence dates back to Monday, September 28, 2026, at the Batimat trade show in Paris. Marine Le Pen was questioned by the press regarding antisemitic writings from 2013 allegedly linked to Jordan Bardella. Facing these questions, she described the revelations as "madness," a "manipulation," and "spy work." She emphasized the implausibility of the facts rather than their basis. The exact video source has not been definitively identified in available sources, but it was a press exchange on-site. The expression quickly spread on social media to mock this evasive response.
