Candace Owens has ignited a firestorm of controversy with extraordinary claims made on social media, alleging a high-stakes assassination plot involving French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, targeting her life. Owens further implicated French Legion soldiers in the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, assertions that have sent shockwaves across the internet.
However, these explosive allegations face a stern challenge from within the right-wing commentary sphere. Nick Fuentes, a prominent figure, used his Rumble livestream, "America First," to publicly demand concrete evidence for Owens' pronouncements. Fuentes unequivocally stated his disbelief, characterizing Owens' narrative as "crazy" and "totally insane" in the absence of any verifiable proof. Despite their often contentious online relationship, Fuentes expressed a concern for Owens' safety while maintaining his skepticism.
Fuentes' Call for Evidence
Fuentes emphasized that he would only consider Owens' claims credible if she presented even "one shred of evidence." He highlighted a pattern, noting that Owens frequently asserts threats to her life without ever substantiating them. His direct question, "Where is the evidence?", resonated throughout his broadcast.
He further ridiculed Owens' past assertions, including an Instagram story where she claimed Brigitte Macron's family were chocolatiers in "Nazi Germany" before relocating to America under "Project Paperclip." Fuentes pointed out the complete lack of proof for these historical allegations. He also playfully mocked Owens' reliance on a facial-recognition AI tool as "proof" that Brigitte Macron is a man, a claim Owens supported by stating the AI matched Brigitte's face to a childhood photo of her brother. Fuentes dismissed this entirely as non-evidence.
An Ongoing Online Feud
The public disagreement between Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes is not a new development. Their strained relationship has escalated since Fuentes appeared on Owens' podcast in July. Owens previously accused Fuentes of lying about her documentary series on Brigitte Macron and has shared instances where Fuentes allegedly used derogatory terms against her.
White House Acknowledges Receipt, No Response Yet
Adding another layer to her claims, Candace Owens announced on November 25 that the White House confirmed receipt of her shared information. However, as of now, no government agency has issued any official response or validated her claims. Consequently, Owens' grave allegations remain unsubstantiated, and Nick Fuentes continues his public call for tangible proof.
