Candace Owens sparked shock online by claiming on X that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron paid to have her killed and that French Legion soldiers were involved in the death of Charlie Kirk. However, no evidence has emerged to support these allegations.
Right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes addressed Owens’ claims on his Rumble livestream. He said he did not believe the story because Owens provided no proof, adding that he would need even «one shred of evidence» to take it seriously. Fuentes emphasised that he does not want Owens harmed, but described her story as «totally insane.»
Fuentes mocked some of Owens’ other claims, including her Instagram story that Brigitte Macron’s family were chocolatiers in Nazi Germany and later moved to America under Project Paperclip. He also ridiculed her claim that Brigitte Macron is a man, pointing out that the only «evidence» came from a facial recognition AI tool matching Macron to a childhood photo of her brother.
Where is the evidence for all the claims that Candace Owens is making?

The dispute between Owens and Fuentes is long-standing. Owens previously accused Fuentes of lying about her series on Brigitte Macron and of insulting her with names such as «dumb ass» and «bitch.» Their online feud has escalated since Fuentes appeared on Owens’ podcast in July.
Owens said she shared her claims with the White House, which confirmed receipt on November 25. No government agency has responded publicly, leaving her allegations unverified and Fuentes continuing to demand clear evidence.
