Because it’s like this: Politics is also about representation – and probably no one, neither you nor me, would have thought of going on a talk show on public broadcasting wearing gray and white tennis shoes and trousers with an indefinable color (somehow brownish) and wearing a kind of bomber jacket light in green, which really doesn’t work as an outfit, with all due respect for different clothing styles. And Göring-Eckardt is, after all, Vice President of the German Bundestag. Call me old-fashioned, but I think you have to dress accordingly when you go to Sandra Maischberger’s. Simply because you have to know that Ms. Wagenknecht doesn’t think much of the baggy look. A kingdom for a picture of Sahra Wagenknecht in sweatpants!
