child of north african jewish grirngts an irony not lost on many jewish leaders. what he said concerning jews is less important as to what he says about muslim. speaking of muslims, he speaks like hitler in what he says is either them or us. reporter: he says he s not against immigrants per se, but demands that immigrants assimilate, that they become french the way he believes husband jewish algerian parents did. like trump, one of zemmour s new gripes is wokism, that distinctly american export. translator: this is what we have to fight without hesitation. reporter: he s the first to acknowledge the limits to his likeness to trump. zemmour styles himself an intellectual. he writes his own books, some of them scholarly works on french history.
