Jean-Marie Le Pen, the father of modern far-right politics in France, died on Tuesday at the age of 96. Le Pen was on the political scene for more than 50 years stoking xenophobia, antisemitism, and anti-immigrant sentiment — and gaining adherents along the way. Host Carolyn Beeler discusses Le Pen’s lasting legacy in Europe with sociologist and commentator Eric Eric Fassin.
