BOLOGNA – Matteo Salvini didn’t take their mockery well, Luca Bizzarri on the other hand didn’t appreciate the comments made by the leader of the League, who after seeing the sketch on the Open Arms case aired on Di Martedì said that the two comedians made him “feel sorry”. But let’s start from the beginning: on Tuesday evening, during the broadcast on La7, there was a moment in which Luca and Paolo (Luca Bizzarri and Paolo Kessisoglu) talked about the Open Arms trial in Palermo, making fun of Salvini and making ironic jokes about his contemptuous attitude towards the trial and the upcoming sentence. The two comedians from Genoa also showed some images posted on social media by the League member. They recalled that he said several times that he would go to trial “with his head held high“, but in the images, according to them, he looked anything but someone who is holding his head high. And even in the live broadcast the night before from the port of Palermo, Salvini, according to them, did not appear confident, but rather like someone who was “shitting himself”. All hell broke loose. Salvini took offence and, sharing the duo’s sketch on social media, said they were pathetic: “And these are supposed to be comedians?“, he wrote.
Luca Bizzarri did not appreciate the mockery and in a rant on social media he said this: “It is always very touching when a politician takes it out on comedians as Salvini did on this occasion, taking it out on us because we made fun of him. He said we are pathetic, it makes me smile because he didn’t feel sorry for us when we made fun of Schlein or Gualtieri, in the same episode. Not there, there he liked us”. Then the comedian continued: “Salvini then insisted on exposing us to the pillory of his terrible social media but I, having already turned 18, would like to tell him that I don’t give a damn about his social pillory, I don’t care either. I understand that his fans are the ones who feed him but instead they make me laugh as much as he makes me laugh, no, he makes me laugh more. ‘Kisses’ he would say”.
