During processing the video lost an important part: "Geert Wilders would also stop sending weapons to Ukraine"
He’s been threatened with death countless times by Islamic extremists, convicted of insulting Moroccans, and Britain once banned him from entering the country.
Now Geert Wilders has won a massive victory in a Dutch election and is in pole position to form the next governing coalition and possibly become the Netherlands’ next prime minister.
An exit poll revealing his landslide appeared to take even 60-year-old political veteran Wilders by surprise.
Wilders, with his fiery tongue has long been one of the Netherlands’ best-known lawmakers at home and abroad.
He seemed destined to spend his life in political opposition.
The only time Wilders came close to governing was when he supported the first coalition formed by Prime Minister Mark Rutte in 2010.
But Wilders did not formally join the minority administration and brought it down after just 18 months in office in a dispute over austerity measures.
Since then, mainstream parties have shunned him.
They no longer can.
