Politically a sovereignist and nationalist, Bock-Côté identifies as a conservative and is a critic of cancel culture;[8] he has been described as a "conservative republican".[9] In 2019, the Quebec premier François Legault said to be a reader of his book The Empire of Political Correctness.[5][10] Bock-Côté has notable critics in Quebec as well.[11] He has frequently been accused by his critics of pushing the Great Replacement conspiracy theory into the mainstream,[12][13][14] stated that Donald Trump was a victim of political persecution,[15] and has been seen by critics as a radical conservative.[16]
In 2021, Bock-Côté moved to Paris as he was recruited by CNews to participate in a Saturday weekly political show hosted by Thomas Lequertier, in which he debates about public affairs with a guest. In parallel, he appeared as a guest on some of the channel's other programs.[1] Bock-Côté also has a ten-minute morning radio column on Europe 1 four times a week titled "La Carte blanche de Mathieu Bock-Côté".[2] He has become an attentive follower of French politics, stating: "France is a fascinating intellectual and political laboratory."[17]
