French Far-Right Influencer Thaïs d’Escufon Targets US Audience
2 min Machine translated About France Politics
Far-right influencers, and to do that, they've found a fairly simple method: speak English.
Welcome to my English speaking YouTube channel.
My name is Thaïs d'Escufon and I have committed the crime of publicly loving my country.
So, for the past few weeks, she has decided to set out to conquer a new audience: Americans.
On X, almost all her posts are now published in English.
Her goal: to exploit French protests to make people believe the country is on the brink of civil war, overwhelmed by immigration.
I'm so ashamed to see France humiliating itself like this.
Do not make the same mistakes we did. Close your borders while you still have time.
This video has been viewed more than four million times. with a clear message, the same as the National Rally's, to create fear, a way to turn a social crisis into a warning to other countries.
And apparently, it works. Her video was reposted by Trump- supporting Senator Ted Cruz to his seven million followers on X with this comment: “Wow!
Everyone should watch this.” Thaïs d'Escufon was also invited on several American and European conservative podcasts to share her take on what's happening in France.
What makes a French person French? Like four generations of native French, you can be considered, in a way, a pure native French person.
All these immigrants, they don't have jobs, they do nothing all day, they just benefit from social welfare. that the French native people are paying.
Control migration in your country, uh, preserve, uh, your identity, your culture.
Her new notoriety also opens doors for her to much more radical gatherings.
She is currently in the United States. Migrated, so, to the United States. Exactly.
She is currently in the United States to attend a conference organized by American Renaissance, an American white supremacist network.

Original transcript (French)
Les influenceurs d'extrême droite, et pour ça, ils ont trouvé une méthode assez simple : parler anglais.
Welcome to my English speaking YouTube channel.
My name is Thaïs d'Escufon and I have committed the crime of publicly loving my country.
Depuis quelques semaines, elle a donc décidé de se lancer à la conquête d'un nouveau public, les Américains.
Sur X, tous ses messages, quasiment, sont publiés maintenant en anglais.
Son but : instrumentaliser les mobilisations françaises pour faire croire que le pays est au bord de la guerre civile, submergé par l'immigration.
I'm so ashamed to see France humiliating itself like this.
Do not make the same mistakes we did. Close your borders while you still have time.
Cette vidéo a été vue plus de quatre millions de fois avec un message clair, le même que celui du Rassemblement National, créer de la peur, une manière de transformer une crise sociale en avertissement adressé aux autres pays.
Et visiblement, ça fonctionne. Sa vidéo a été repostée par le sénateur trumpiste Ted Cruz à ses sept millions d'abonnés sur X avec ce commentaire : « Waouh !
Tout le monde devrait regarder ça. » Thaïs d'Escufon a aussi été invitée dans plusieurs podcasts conservateurs américains et européens pour raconter sa vision de ce qui se passe en France.
What makes a French person French? Like when you have four generations of really native French, you can be considered like as a pure native French in some way.
All these immigrants, they don't have jobs, they do nothing all day, they just benefit from the social welfare that the French native people are paying.
Control the migration in your country, uh, preserve, uh, your identity, your culture.
Sa nouvelle notoriété lui ouvre aussi des portes de rassemblements beaucoup plus radicaux.
Elle est actuellement aux États-Unis. Migrée, donc aux États-Unis. Exactement.
Elle est actuellement aux États-Unis pour participer à une conférence organisée par American Renaissance, un réseau suprémaciste blanc américain.
