Conservative commentator Candace Owens has lobbed serious accusations at French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron, alleging they orchestrated a plot to assassinate her.
The Allegations: Owens says she learned about the supposed plot from a "high-ranking employee of the French Government" just two days before going public. According to her, the Macrons had "executed upon and paid for my assassination."
The alleged source claimed France's elite National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) was tasked with carrying out the operation, with help from "one Israeli" operative. Owens has provided no evidence to support these claims, which remain unverified by any authorities.
She also connected the alleged plot to Charlie Kirk's 2025 killing, suggesting the suspect had trained with France's 13th Legion Brigade. Additionally, Owens warned that French journalist Xavier Poussard, who has reported on material about Brigitte Macron, might also be targeted. She urged her followers to spread her post widely, expressing uncertainty about which American government officials could be trusted.
What's Missing: So far, French, Israeli, and U.S. authorities haven't commented on Owens's accusations. Online reactions have ranged from full support to outright mockery.
The claims carry potentially serious diplomatic weight if true, but the complete absence of evidence and official acknowledgment leaves everything in the realm of speculation. The alleged connection to Kirk's murder adds complexity, though that too remains unsubstantiated. What's clear is how quickly unverified claims can dominate public conversation in the social media age.
