Yeah, he might even overdo it, like it's awkward.
He's probably some kind of atypical dude, described as a "right-wing anarchist" (uhh, wut?
), that must be quite hard to define.
And he's actually a monarchist! Once, as I was quickly reviewing the monarchist political remains here in France, I found out that he was a friend of this guy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Alphonse_de_Bourbon
Louis Alphonse de Bourbon (a strange name to bear in contemporary France, like mine is much easier), or Louis XX, the "legitimist" heir of the throne of France!
As a hard-line Republican who believes in meritocracy exclusively, I have a hard time understanding what it means.
But Ardisson is the kind of guy to support his friend who happens to be a wannabe king.
So...

It is simply ridiculous that the guy would pretend making fun of any so-called 17th-century accent when he still votes for a medieval king.
Bah, whatever. There are guys like that that make some temporary buzz in the media. They disappear just as they appeared, as trolls.
