Baudet left before the broadcast of Jinek during a contribution by cabaret artist Martijn Koning, who addressed the politician.
Koning discussed, among other things, the Jewish background of Baudet’s girlfriend, and stated that ‘the anti-Semitic voter would feel put in his brown shirt’ if Baudet had a child with her.
Halfway through King’s performance, Baudet got up without saying a word and walked away. Watch the clip below in the Campaign Flash:

Earlier in the broadcast, Baudet was put to the test. For example, he was shown a fragment in which his former party colleague Theo Hiddema labels Baudet’s apps as ‘racist shit’.
Koning responded on Twitter that his contribution was not written in consultation with the editorial staff of Jinek. “As a comedian I want to be completely free in what I say”, Koning wrote. “I hope the excitement can now go back to what was said at the table.”

In the meantime, things were going hard at Op1 between VVD leader Rutte and Geert Wilders (PVV). For example, Rutte said that Wilders is unable to say sorry for his ‘less Moroccans’ statement.
Rutte also called Wilders a ‘runaway’, partly because of the withdrawal of his tolerance support to the first Rutte cabinet in 2012. “I am still angry about that,” said Rutte.
‘Frightened weasel’
“You are lying”, Wilders responded. He disagrees with Rutte’s description of withdrawing that support.
The group chairmen scattered the debate with creative descriptions. Rutte, for example, called his opponent ‘a clucking chicken that does not lay eggs’, while Wilders described the outgoing prime minister as a ‘frightened weasel’.
