Candace Owens’ bombshell revelation that a high-level French government source warned her of an alleged Macron-backed assassination plot has triggered an outpouring of support and concern on X.
As allies argue she has been in the crosshairs of powerful political and intelligence interests for years. Building on National File’s earlier reporting on Owens’ claim that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife “executed upon and paid for” a plan to have her killed, prominent voices are now rallying behind her and demanding answers about the role of French and Israeli operatives, as well as alleged prior efforts by U.S. officials to destroy her reputation.
Project Veritas responded to Owens’ disclosure by asserting that “Candace has been a target of governments for years” and publishing screenshots of leaked text messages they say involve former senior DOJ official Mary Barr Daly, daughter of former Attorney General Bill Barr.
In one message thread, an alleged sender discussed the need to “start working on the Candace Owens case,” calling her “the harder one” and directing operatives to develop a strategy to secure compromising material that could be used to put a target “in jail,” while another message declared, “We need to blackmail her faster” and urged surveillance of Owens and her husband to “destroy her reputation before she gets to us.”
Owens’ claims have also drawn support from outside the U.S. conservative media ecosystem. Telegram founder Pavel Durov wrote on X that after reviewing “everything Charlie Kirk has ever said about Macron’s France,” he found Owens’ information about possible French involvement in Kirk’s killing “entirely plausible.”
Supporters have further pointed to documented cases involving French intelligence and alleged contract killings to argue that Owens’ warnings cannot be dismissed out of hand. European reporting in recent years has detailed how French secret agents were charged in connection with an attempted murder in a murky private plot, and how a former French spy under investigation over an alleged plan to assassinate a Congo-Brazzaville opposition figure was later found shot dead in the Alps.
In an update on X, Owens said she has “informed people in the Federal government and the White House of the France and Israeli assassination plot” and is prepared to provide “full details,” including “the name of the assassins and international accounts in France and Canada through which money was exchanged.”
Despite what critics may think of Candace Owens, the threats she faces cannot be dismissed lightly. Following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, these warnings demand urgent attention from government authorities. Owens’ claims stem from credible sources and carry grave implications. It’s imperative that her safety and the broader security risks involved be fully investigated and addressed.
