Applause machine
How did that interview go? Humberto Tan had in his yesterday talk show not only Twan is at the table, but also the chief political officer of RTL Laat: Elodie Verweij. “You’ve already seen it today. What is the impression, did you think?” he asks her.
Elodie responds: “Well, honestly… Sorry, Twan, that wasn’t your fault, but it was a warm bath for her, because I think about 80 percent in the room are members or vote for the Party for the Animals. All students. It was an applause machine. Just imagine… Coincidentally, all the people who supported her.”
Twan is annoyed
Then Twan becomes somewhat irritated. “Elodie has never been to a recording of College Tour before,” he snaps at her.
Elodie: “Yes! Once before. Also with Klaas Dijkhoff.”
Twan: “Okay, very good, because you have the same thing there. Sorry to interrupt you. It is certainly true that there were Party for the Animals students in the room. I also asked that at the front.”
‘That is not true!’
Elodie agrees. “Yes, everyone raised their hands.”
Twan irritated: “That is not true. It certainly wasn’t everyone. It was a serious share.”
Elodie: “Well, a lot. I watched from above. 80 percent.”
Twan angrily: “Well, okay, that’s nonsense.”
Elodie: “It doesn’t matter. A lot of.”
Honest conversation
Twan thinks he did a good job with the interview. “What matters is that the questions you just showed are there and it is an honest conversation.”
He concludes: “I disagree with the applause machine for Esther Ouwehand, because all the difficult questions have been discussed.”
