If you look at Max Boot’s timeline over the past couple of years, it seems he has been somewhat of a cheerleader for Macron.
There's a vacancy for leader of the free world and Macron is submitting his application. https://t.co/cXsVUSvTGF

Macron is making France great again. https://t.co/FxHNlu1CvN

We’re curious if maybe Max sent Macron some fan letters as well because yeah, wow. Fanboy says what?
Earlier today, Twitchy covered the pushback Boot is receiving in social media over a piece he wrote last year about how RAD a charismatic centrist like Macron would be for America. This is the tweet and piece we covered:
To defeat populism, America needs its own Macron–a charismatic leader who can make centrism cool. My take: https://t.co/AAF1YwTnqb

To each, his own we suppose, except France is a disaster of ‘protests’ (ahem, riots) and destruction right now and a huge part of that is the wishy-washy centrist in charge. But hey, at least it’s not Trump, right?
Sean Davis apparently thought Boot’s 2017 column was a hoot too.
This 2017 column is a riot. https://t.co/lSRrx927TF

Boot responded.
Who knew that “burn, baby, burn” would become the mantra of self-proclaimed “conservatives” like the @FDRLST crew? https://t.co/sVzqn1XjrA

K.
Davis responded in kind.
Given @MaxBoot's support for the disastrous Arab Spring, I think maybe the most remarkable thing about the ongoing anti-Macron French uprising is that Boot finally found anti-regime revolutionaries he doesn't want the American military to arm.

Is this a neo-con thing?
OH, and then Boot came after Twitchy, accusing us of being far-right and then he pulled a Ron Perlman and suggested Russian bots are behind the story and by default, behind us.
I wake up this morning and find the far-right Twittersphere going nuts over my old tweets/articles praising Macron. They seem to be cheerleading for chaos in Paris to topple him. Are Russian bots behind this, @anneapplebaum? I wonder. https://t.co/M0z77AHmxG

Yes, Max found us out. Just like Ron. IT’S TIME TO COME CLEAN … we’re all a bunch of bots sitting around in our bunker being programmed by angry Russians wearing MAGA hats watching old reruns of Gilligan’s Island and drinking cheap vodka.
And he wonders why we make fun of him.
