Politicians have been weighing in more and more, especially following a turbulent year during which a series of events called into question tenets of French society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times\u2019 report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/french-president-macron-woke-social-science-theories-entirely-imported-from-u-s-are-eroding-france\">notes<\/a> that some of Macron\u2019s remarks were made in a speech that he gave late last year. The Times surmised Macron\u2019s speech as warning that American \u201cwoke leftism\u201d was an \u201cexistential\u201d threat to France that \u201cfuels secessionism,\u201d \u201cabets Islamism,\u201d \u201cgnaws at national unity,\u201d and \u201cattacks France\u2019s intellectual and cultural heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
