A few weeks ago, I chatted with a team from the French TV channel Canal+ about political GIFs. We’d originally planned to talk in front of the White House, but a steady drizzle was falling and we held most of our video shoot in the covered space in front of Union Station. The amusing part — they wanted me in a suit, so I got to be the stuffy political guy, not exactly my normal role in the DC ecosystem.
Relatively little of what I said ended up in the piece, of course, perhaps particularly because I was generally skeptical that these things will matter much (if at all) when it comes to how people actually vote. But I still get in a few quotes, appropriately dubbed into French, starting a little after the five-minute mark. Note: I am not nearly as attractive as Leonardo DiCaprio. Enjoy!
