When will Brigitte Macron sue the hateful Candace Owens?

Claire Lehmann scores a stopped-clock point
----------------------------------------------------------

I normally wouldn't bother with Candace Owens, except that she was named as one of the people in the Intellectual Dark Web by Bari Weiss. 

In spite of her connection to the IDW, I've hardly written about Owens, only 13 times before this, and lately it didn't seem worthwhile at all since members of the Intellectual Dark Web have turned on her, including the racist queen of Quillette herself, Claire Lehmann. 

If Claire Lehmann is against you, are you even in the Intellectual Dark Web any more?

But this is getting ridiculous. Media Matters for American ran an article about Owens' sick obsession with claiming that Brigitte Macron is trans.

On January 31, podcaster Candace Owens launched a new “investigative series” based on the debunked conspiracy theory that the first lady of France, Brigitte Macron, is secretly a transgender woman. Videos about the series, titled “Becoming Brigitte,” have been circulating on TikTok, garnering millions of views on both English-language and French-language content. 

Right-wing personalities and social media users have spread these types of baseless allegations, often called “transvestigations,” for years, frequently targeting powerful women including Taylor Swift and Michelle Obama. And this is not the first time Brigitte Macron has faced the conspiracy theory. Last year, a French court found two women guilty of slander for spreading these same claims. 

Owens has been pushing the conspiracy theory about the French first lady for nearly a year. 

As of the time of writing, she has streamed eight episodes of her “transvestigation” series on YouTube — producing over six hours of conspiracy theory content centered around the Macrons. During the series, Owens questioned whether Brigitte Macron is transgender and also whether she is French President Emmanuel Macron’s biological father. 

I became interested in the Macrons when I started taking French classes and I'm 99% sure this brief clip from an American public television show "French In Action" shows Brigitte Macron and her first husband - this is the episode, at minute 12:00. I've had this up on my personal website for years. 

Brigitte Macron has already won a case on this issue. It's TIME TO SUE CANDACE OWENS!

My theory: Owens is jealous of Brigitte Macron. 

And also, Candace Owens is insane.
