This paper intends to delve into the populist discourse of the Rassemblement National as manifested in their posts on Twitter towards Muslims and immigrants. The analysis of those statements will enable us to study the way populism and populist discourses are expressed in those tweets. Immigration and Islam are the most debatable issues that characterize the top agendas of the French far right and which raise acrimonious debates in France, denying thus the multicultural cauldron of the French society. The dichotomy of who is native and who is a foreigner is one of the main discourses of populism whose sole aim is to appeal to more voters by pitting their survival with the vanishing of immigrants, be they Muslims or any others of a foreign descent
