Thierry Baudet did not walk away angry on Prinsjesdag yesterday after a spicy joke by RTL Boulevard reporter Lex Uiting. “You talk out of your ass quite often!” he snapped at him.
Lex Uiting, reporter for RTL Boulevard, decided yesterday to approach the controversial politician Thierry Baudet during his report on Prinsjesdag. First he held the microphone in front of Thierry’s mouth, then to the left of his head. “Do you actually prefer to be interviewed like this or would you rather be interviewed like this?” he asked him.
“You’re talking out of your ass!”
Thierry didn’t understand it at all. “Do I understand this?”
Lex: “Well, because you talk out of your ass quite often.”
You would expect Thierry to walk away very irritated at that moment, but nothing could be further from the truth: he and his girlfriend start to laugh heartily.
‘Not respectful’
Marieke Derksen, the daughter of Johan Derksen, does not think it is chic. “It’s not very respectful. But Lex does have a point. Also today: Baudet could just rant about ‘You’ll own nothing’ future plans of the cartel on national TV.”
Story boss Guido den Aantrekker: “Aside from the joke: Lex seems to me to be the type who dares this with a TV crew with him – if he meets Baudet alone in the pub tonight, he has a filled Sloggi , I suspect.”
Mailbox
Marieke: “Okay, he also called through Johan’s letterbox. But I’ll give it to him.”
Guido: “Well go ahead then ?.”
Advertising editor Lucas Boon: “I actually expected Baudet to get angry – and then he would have been even better.”
Guido: “There was immediately a haircut after Baudet’s fake smile.”
