As you may recall, Candace Owens ran a series of podcasts earlier this year in which she claimed the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, was actually a trans woman. A couple weeks ago, the Macrons sued Owens in a US court, seeking damages for 22 separate counts of defamation. There's no dollar amount in the complaint but it's presumably going to run into six or seven figures.
For the record, Owens doesn't deny that there was a person named Brigitte Trogneux who was born a woman. Her story is that at some point, for unknown reasons, Brigitte disappeared and her identity was taken over by another person, her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux who then married Emmanuel Macron.
So now, according to Candace Owens, Brigitte Macron was born a woman, died, and with her dying wish passed on her identity to her brother.
There's no way anyone still believes this crap right?
Come on guys...

There are really two big problems with Owens's theory. First, Jean-Michel Trogneux is still around and has been seen at public events including Macron's inauguration. The other is that Brigitte was previously married and had three children with her first husband. Obviously a trans person can't have children so you have to somehow extend the conspiracy theory to the idea that the kids either aren't really Brigitte's children or that they know their real mom is dead and are pretending their uncle is their mother. It's pretty far out there.
And yet, Owens is still doubling down on this whole story. She appeared on Piers Morgan's show the other day and said she was willing to up a previous bet with Morgan to $300,000.

That's quite a lot of money but it's still probably only a fraction of what's on the line in the lawsuit itself. And that may be why Owens is now wondering aloud why the Trump administration is not speaking up and trying to defend her from the lawsuit.
"If you are Trump, the first thing you should have done if you purport to care about America and our Constitution...you would come out and you would say 'I don't even know whether I believe that she's a man or a woman'...but you should say 'I'm a leader of this country and it's unacceptable that this leader would threaten the First Amendment in anyway,'" Owens said. She added, "The job of the federal government is to defend us against foreign invaders and I would pretty much say Emmanuel Macron right now is being a foreign invader."
Candace Owens appears PANICKED as she calls the Macrons’ lawsuit a "FOREIGN INVASION," begging for Trump and J.D. Vance to intervene: "It's CRAZY that Trump has been silent on this matter."
She also claims the Macrons want to "impoverish her for speaking." Candace and her… pic.twitter.com/E3OIjGcIvI— Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) (@TheMilkBarTV) August 7, 2025
She mentions that President Trump called and tried to warn her off this story. Here's what she told Tucker Carlson.
Owens said the initial request to stop talking about the French first lady came from someone “pretty high up” in the White House. She said she found the demand insulting and refused to comply.
Trump later phoned Owens directly about the issue, she told Carlson, saying that the president told her Macron had pulled him aside to ask if he knew Owens. Owens said she was shocked by the request and stated that Trump had been confused as to why he was being asked to intervene.
“Emmanuel Macron personally flew to D.C. and asked Trump to ask me to shut up, to just stop speaking about his wife,” she told Carlson.
That's evidence that Macron was unhappy about it but not evidence he's lying about his wife. If Owens is in fact spreading a lie about Brigitte Macron, as the lawsuit claims, then it's not surprising Emmanuel Macron would make efforts to get her to stop.
As for the "foreign invasion" claim, It probably goes without saying that defamation is a well-understood and widely acknowledged exception to free speech. Owens is being sued for allegedly making false and defamatory claims which, according to the complaint, she knew were false at the time.
As I said in my previous post, that's going to be a high bar for statements about a public figure like Brigitte Macron, but that doesn't mean some of the claims won't pass that bar. And if they do, that's not a foreign invasion or any kind of violation of US sovereignty, it's just the application of US defamation law to Candace Owens.

And to blindly ignore factual history, is NOT wise. Nobody said that YOU have to "care"; however, to now repeat what you've heard, from some unnamed source, who is an uneducated moron, isn't a good thing.
Oooh! I thought that too!
“Why Trump isn’t defending her”
Well. I don’t know why, but Trump has 10,000 more important things to be concerned about, one of which is cordial relations with France and the EU, and what floats Macron’s boat with regard to what he does with his willie is not in the top ten thousand.
"Name the Jews, Joe..." (to Joe Rogan),
and "So the jews actually declared war on Germany first? Interesting."
Jake Shields is an ex MMA fighter who was supporting hamas within days of Oct 7. He has over 860,000 fellow useful idiots who lap up his posts like
"Our government is here to serve jews, not goyim" and "Jews are committing a holocaust in Gaza."
I haven't seen Tucker Qatarlson (sic) back off from having some illiterate "historian" "explaining the context" of WW2, or that raving idiot/cunning stunt Candace spreading her blood libels.
We had the nazi moron in Pennsylvania years ago who killed a bunch of Jews. Now we've had 3-4 Jews killed by leftists and jihadis, inspired by the IslamoNaziMarxist mob.
I'm pro free speech, but if it's proven that some loud-mouth, alt-media, Nazi POS inspires some malleable, braindead loser to hurt more Jews, don't be surprised if the victim's family doesn't wait for the courts.
Bump
I am not taking a side.
Are you Brigette? Why do you care so much?
Why do I care?
What I care about, no matter WHAT the topic is, is the factual truth,and so, I post corrections/the facts.
Why do YOU care about my comments so much? And IF you don't care about this topic, WHY are YOU not only reading the thread, but posting to it?
“More clicks = more money”
And Candace Owens is getting lots of clicks with this Macron stuff (which is why she is doing it) and lots of clicks in general. She is making money and her eco-system is doing just fine.
Solid analysis. Plenty of the anti-Ukraine sentiment is conscious or subconscious antisemitic in origin.
Candace Owens was sued for defamation by Kim Klacic, a black woman conservative of more mainstream views, after she accused Klacic of being a money launderer and procurer of women for a strip club owned by her husband. Klacik lost the case and has to pay Owens' court costs. However, the Macrons have deeper pockets than Klacic.
But are not many Jewish people anti-Zionist? In pre-World War II, Jewish people were divided into the Zionists and the Socialist Bund types, who felt that the Zionist vision of Israel was bad for Jewish people because it essentially would confine all Jewish people to one country, whereas they wanted a worldwide socialist movement where they could be a bigger influence.
Now saying that, there is a difference between the Bund’s vision of socialism and Soviet Bolshevism, which is why they got somewhat unfairly tainted with being supporters of the Bolsheviks, which led to many a pogrom in the areas the Nazis took from the Soviets in 1941. And of course we know Stalin was no fan of Jewish people.
I've known many Catholics all of my life and my tow oldest, best friends are Catholic. I have nothing disparaging to say about them, nor other Catholics whom I don't know AND I have NEVER even met anyone, who is a practicing Catholic, who has SO defamed and disparaged ALL Jews and ALL Protestant, of which I am one of the latter, though NOT a Calvinist.
I've never read nor heard about E. Michael Jones, so many thanks for that info! I shall, indeed, now go see what I can find out about him.
As far as "deep pockets" go, Candace and George are the ones who should be worrying, a LOT, about just how much of their many multiple millions, when they lose this case against them! There is far more than enough very ample PROOF that Candace has defamed, harassed, and outright LIED about not only Brigitte, but her entire family,but also Emmanuel and HIS family.
Are you saying that outside of Soros, many other Jews were also Nazis?
Completely different, remember Yiddish is pretty much German, so they did use the same words.

I commented, because the ONLY BUND I knew about was the AMERICAN BUND, which Charles Lindbergh was a member of, was a group of American Nazis!
Many thanks for your informative link; much appreciated.
This was a very popular song with the Labor Bundists
“Oh you stupid Zionists”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C0E4qxm-7I
Many thanks for the link and a history lesson concerning things I was completely unaware of!
So this song was made popular amongst a certain group of Jews, in Russian, during the time that Nicholas was still the Tsar.
So this song was made popular amongst a certain group of Jews, in Russian, during the time that Nicholas was still the Tsar.
Reminds me of my favorite line from “Fiddler On The Roof”....
“Is there a proper blessing for the tsar?”
“A blessing for the tsar? Of course . . . May God bless and keep the tsar . . . far away from us!”
Not a show I care about, so don’t know the line.
