Conspiracy theorist Candace Owens is being ridiculed after alleging in a crazed series of social media posts that the first couple of France have paid an “assassination squad” to kill her and enlisted Israel to help do the dirty deed.
In a middle-of-the-night “urgent” post on X viewed nearly 40 million times, Owens claims she was contacted by a “high-ranking employee” of the French government who told her “the Macrons have executed upon and paid for” her assassination in a wide-ranging plot that includes “at least one Israeli.”
Owens, 36, has long publicly sparred with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, whom she has repeatedly claimed was born a man. The Macrons filed a defamation suit against Owens in July, accusing her of waging a “year-long campaign of global humiliation” by spreading the salacious rumor.
