Violent scenes in France as anti-far right protesters rally against Marine Le Pen

Hundreds of protesters have marched in Marseille against French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, ahead of her final rally in the southern port city.

Some ultra-left demonstrators skirmished with police during today's protest. Police set off tear gas to disperse them.

A new poll out today showed Le Pen and centrist Emmanuel Macron sharing first place. The top two candidates will meet in a runoff on May 7.

Opponents of Le Pen and her anti-immigration National Front party also skirmished with police outside a Paris rally this week.

A banner held by a far-left protester today read: "Far-rightists can't be fought in the ballot box."

I'm sorry this is happening to Marine Le Pen. That's what our dear President Trump is having to contend with. It's a terrible and disappointing thing for people to deal with when all they're trying to do is help their nations fix themselves.

Just another example of how the left is far more violent, bloody, and intolerant than the right in most nations.
