Candace Owens’ Explosive Allegations

This month, conservative commentator Candace Owens took to social media with claims that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, authorized a covert assassination plot against her. Owens alleges the plot involved France’s elite GIGN counter-terrorism unit and an Israeli assassin. Despite the gravity of her claims, Owens has not publicly disclosed the “concrete proof” she claims to possess, nor has she identified the whistleblower she alleges is within the French government.

The allegations have sparked concern and debate, especially within conservative circles, which view this as a possible attack on American free speech. Owens connects her defamation lawsuit with the Macrons to a broader conspiracy involving French intelligence services, the Israeli government, and potential complicity by U.S. officials.

Legal and Political Implications

The Macrons filed a 22-count defamation lawsuit against Owens in July 2025, accusing her of spreading false claims about Brigitte Macron’s gender identity. Owens has continued to mock the couple, suggesting her legal troubles are part of the alleged assassination conspiracy. The allegations of an assassination plot add a new dimension to the legal battle, potentially complicating the lawsuit and raising questions about international diplomatic relations.

The U.S. government’s alleged inaction on Owens’ claims could strain U.S.-France relations if the allegations gain traction. No official investigation has been announced, and law enforcement agencies have not confirmed any part of Owens’ story.

Media and Social Reactions

Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, has expressed support for Owens’ claims, calling them “entirely plausible” based on Charlie Kirk’s previous statements about Macron’s France. This endorsement has bolstered Owens’ narrative within conservative media, but the lack of evidence and official corroboration has left many skeptical.

Owens continues to assert that she is willing to provide evidence to federal authorities, including details of the alleged assassins and financial transactions involved. However, until more concrete information is revealed, her claims remain speculative and unverified.
