Frits Barend completely lost his self-control last night in the talk show Op1. After a fragment with controversial figures such as Thierry Baudet, he exclaims: “What bastards!”
Frits Barend was in the talk show Op1 yesterday, where a fragment was shown of comparisons made during corona and farmer protests with the Second World War. After that fragment, including Thierry Baudet, Willem Engel and Farmers Defense Force boss Mark van den Oever, the former presenter jumps out of his skin.
“Bastards!”
Presenter Welmoed Sijtsma: “Yes, Frits, the symbols of the Second World War, the star that is used.”
Then Frits appears emotional: “Yes, I’m really here again…”
Welmoed: “Yes, this also affects you personally.”
Frits fierce: “How dare you! Dirty bastards they are! They are real bastards! How dare they? Will someone be taken from their homes today and taken to a concentration camp with their children? How dare you make the comparison between the Netherlands in 2023 and the Netherlands in 1942/43. Now that I see it again… Really unbelievable.”
‘How is this possible?’
Op1 host Jort Kelder: “But how could it be, Frits? Is the lack of education, upbringing? They know, don’t they? You also read all kinds of statistics about Holocaust deniers that you think: sorry, how?”
Frits: “Yes, 23 percent do not believe that the Holocaust took place and that six million Jews were murdered. No, we made that up. I think education plays a very important role. That your children learn what happened.”
Shameful
Frits is high. “These comparisons are so outrageous. Doesn’t this touch you too? I hope it touches everyone at the table. Maybe it makes me a little emotional, because I did indeed lose my whole family from my father’s side.”
“How dare you make that comparison!”
