Candace Owens Alleges French President Macron Plotted Her Assassination
Conservative commentator Candace Owens has launched extraordinary allegations against French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, claiming they orchestrated a $1.5 million scheme to assassinate her. These grave accusations follow earlier statements from Owens suggesting the couple had ordered a "hit" on her life.
The Unfolding Allegations and "Proof"
Owens amplified her latest claims through a post on X (formerly Twitter), publicly questioning how the world would react once it "learns that Macron allegedly moved 1.5 million dollars for my assassination." This highly charged statement came after her declaration on Saturday, where she reported receiving "proof" from a "high-ranking employee of the French government" regarding an "assassination squad." She asserted this group was reportedly funded by the Macrons and included "one Israeli."
Background: Defamation Lawsuit and Public Scrutiny
These severe accusations by Owens are rooted in her prior public statements, where she accused Brigitte Macron of being a trans woman. This controversial claim prompted the French presidential couple to file a defamation lawsuit against Owens in a U.S. court, escalating tensions between the parties.
Owens' recent post on X triggered immediate and strong reactions from users. Many observers pointed out the apparent contradiction in her simultaneously using the word "allegedly" while claiming to possess solid evidence, demanding clarification on her assertions. Beyond this, a larger concern emerged among some users regarding the safety of "truth tellers" from potential governmental pressure or retaliation.
Connecting Threads: Charlie Kirk and Broader Threats
Further extending her web of claims, Candace Owens also drew a connection between "Israeli influence" and the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. She alleged that Tyler Robinson, the individual accused of Kirk's killing, had undergone training with the French Foreign Legion’s 13th brigade. Additionally, Owens expressed grave concern for journalist Xavier Poussard, stating, "This is deadly serious," and reiterating her belief that the French head of state "apparently wants us both dead," having authorized "professional units" to target them.
Informing Federal Authorities
On Sunday, Owens announced that she had formally notified "people in the Federal government" about the alleged threats. She indicated her readiness to disclose comprehensive details, including the names of the supposed assassins and the international financial accounts in France and Canada through which the alleged funds for the plot were transferred.
