image for French elections: Far-right candidate to withdraw after Nazi cap picture emerges

A candidate for the far-right Rassemblement National party will drop out after a picture of her wearing a Nazi cap circulated on social media, a party official said.

The photo shows Daoudi wearing a Luftwaffe cap bearing a swastika.

🚹Ludivine Daoudi, la candidate du RN sur la 1e circonscription du Calvados, est portĂ©e disparue depuis le dĂ©but de la campagne.

Throughout the electoral campaign, several RN candidates were found to have posted racist, anti-Semitic and insulting messages on social media. »

Chipotle executives have sworn up and down that the restaurant chain doesn’t have a portion problem, but an analysis by Wells Fargo begs to differ.

To finally “put the ‘weight debate’ to rest,” Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem and his team bought and weighed 75 burrito bowls, they wrote in a note this week.
