The question here isn't is Melenchon good. He clearly isn't.

But one old guy who believes stupid shit whose far left party is hitting their upper limit in getting 10% of the vote   (the Judean Peoples Front effect is very real) is far less of a concern than a far right party that takes funding from Russia.

Incidentally I don't think it's for nothing that the controversy and these remarks came in the Hungarian phase of her book tour, in terms of the questions and framing of things.
