Candace
Owens
was
trending
on
the
X
social
media
platform
after
making
a
statement
aimed
at
the
wife
of
the
president
of
France.
The
controversial
conservative
pundit
said
that
she
would
bet
her
career
on
the
wife
of
President
Emmanuel
Macron
being
a
man.
Taking
to
X,
formerly
Twitter,
on
Tuesday
(March
12),
Candace
Owens
took
shots
at
Brigette
Macron,
70,
the
wife
of
President
Macron,
46,
who
has
been
the
target
of
a
conspiracy
that
suggests
Mrs.
Macron
is
not
a
woman.
“After
looking
into
this,
I
would
stake
my
entire
professional
reputation
on
the
fact
that
Brigitte
Macron
is
in
fact
a
man,”
Owens
shared
on
X.
“Any
journalist
or
publication
that
is
trying
to
dismiss
this
plausibility
is
immediately
identifiable
as
establishment.
I
have
never
seen
anything
like
this
in
my
life.
The
implications
here
are
terrifying.”
As
seen
in
Daily
Mail,
the
claims
around
Mrs.
Macron
date
back
to
2021
when
two
women,
a
psychic
and
a
freelance
journalist,
made
the
charge
in
a
documentary.
The
outlet
adds
that
the
root
of
the
rumor
came
from
a
false
claim
issued
by
Faits
et
Documents,
a
far-right
publication
just
after
President
Macron
was
elected.
On
Monday
(March
11),
Owens
delved
into
the
conspiracy
at
length
on
her
podcast
which
was
no
doubt
inspired
by
comments
made
by
Tiphaine
Auzière,
the
daughter
of
Mrs.
Macron
and
President
Macron’s
stepdaughter.
Auzière
spoke
with
the
Paris
Match
outlet
to
discuss
the
claims
that
her
mother
was
born
male.
Adding
to
this,
Auzière
shared
that
she
was
just
10
years
old
to
learn
that
her
mother
was
involved
with
a
student
who
was
25
years
her
junior.
Owens
added
at
the
end
of
her
Tuesday
tweet
that
she
doesn’t
intend
to
stop
investigating
the
angle
and
called
on
other
journalists
to
do
the
same.
On
X,
Candace
Owens
and
her
comments
caused
some
commotion.
We’ve
got
the
reactions
