Support for conservative commentator Candace Owens is growing following screenshots of what advocates are calling evidence of a plot to assassinate her.
The outspoken podcast host claimed last week that a high-level French government source has warned her of an assassination plot allegedly ordered by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Owens’ explosive allegation — which she says includes the names of operatives and international payment routes — triggered a storm of debate, raising questions about political retaliation, global intelligence operations, and the deadly backdrop of Charlie Kirk’s assassination earlier this year.
Owens first made the claims in a series of posts on X, alleging that Macron and his wife “executed upon and paid for” a plan to have her killed.
She further tied the alleged plot to individuals connected to France’s elite GIGN security unit, including one member she said was Israeli. Despite the extraordinary nature of the accusation, Owens insisted she has informed federal officials and the White House and is prepared to present detailed evidence.
What might have remained an isolated claim has quickly gained traction after prominent voices began publicly backing her. Telegram founder Pavel Durov wrote that after reviewing everything Charlie Kirk had said about France, Owens’ account sounded “entirely possible.” The admission from the typically reserved tech founder sent shockwaves through political circles and accelerated the story’s visibility.
Meanwhile, Project Veritas resurfaced leaked text messages they say show former senior Justice Department official Mary Barr Daly strategizing how to “blackmail” Owens, “destroy her reputation,” and find material to “put her in jail.”
For Owens’ supporters, the messages served as confirmation that powerful institutions have long viewed her as a threat.
International context has only fueled the speculation. Recent European reporting has documented cases of French intelligence figures implicated in contract-style killings and covert operations — including a former spy found shot to death in the Alps while under investigation for a separate alleged political assassination plot. To Owens’ defenders, those cases show her allegations cannot be dismissed as implausible simply because they are shocking.
Still, some critics have been quick to push back, noting that Owens has not yet released verifiable public evidence and that neither U.S. nor French officials have confirmed her claims.
But in a political climate already rattled by Kirk’s killing, many argue that even the appearance of credible sources warrants a serious and transparent inquiry.
When Claims This Serious Emerge, Dismissing Them Is Not an Option
Owens is a polarizing figure, and for some that alone is enough to treat her story with skepticism. But political bias cannot overshadow the gravity of the allegation. Claims of a foreign government — particularly a U.S. ally — plotting to assassinate an American citizen demand scrutiny, not reflexive disbelief.
Her supporters’ central argument is simple: regardless of what one thinks of Candace Owens, the threat she describes cannot be waved away.
The White House and intelligence agencies now face a difficult test: investigate thoroughly and publicly, or risk being accused of ignoring a potential international political crime. With public trust already low and geopolitical tensions high, transparency is the only path forward.
Owens says she is ready to turn over everything she has — names, accounts, communications, and the identity of the operatives allegedly tasked with carrying out the hit. The stakes, for her and for the U.S.–France relationship, could not be higher.
For now, one thing is clear: support for Owens isn’t just arriving from her conservative base; it’s coming from technologists, independent journalists, and observers wary of past intelligence abuses.
And with some of them calling the alleged plot “entirely possible,” this story is only getting started.
