Candace Owens Melts Down Over Trump’s ‘Silence’ on Macron ‘Penis’ Lawsuit
Candace Owens sounded off on President Donald Trump and his administration for not defending her as she plays the part of defendant in a defamation lawsuit filed against her by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron is suing for damages stemming from Owens’s promotion of the conspiracy theory that his wife, Brigitte Macron, was born a man.
Owens initially responded to the lawsuit with bravado.
“You are a very goofy man, Brigitte. But I’ve got to give it to you, you’ve definitely got balls,” declared Owens.
“Fire everyone around you who said this was a very good idea for you to be the first sitting first lady of a country to file a lawsuit against a journalist in another country,” she continued before submitting that it’s “beyond obvious” Macron “has a penis.”
In a subsequent rant, Owens suggested that the Macrons might fake the French first lady’s death to avoid the legal discovery process.
“It’s very early on, but I know that the process is supposed to be the pain, that they wanna drag this out. I can’t see them wanting to make it to discovery. I just don’t see that happening. I think they’ll fake kill Brigitte first,” said Owens.
But now Owens is striking a less confident tone, and upbraiding Trump for not coming to her defense as the Macrons attempt to “impoverish her.”
The rant also included a characteristic amount of criticism of Israel, as well as scorn for efforts to combat anti-Semitism.
“The more that I think about it, the more absurd it is. Now the Trump administration, who purports to care about free speech, that was what they ran on. Of course, they’re not doing any of that stuff anymore, they’re creating DEI for Israel and pushing through laws to redefine anti-Semitism,” began Owens. “But they pretended to care about free-speech, and you had JD Vance who went over there to Europe and gave a whole speech, ‘tsk,-tsk to all of you European leaders that are no longer listening to what your constituents want, and are instead punishing them for their speech. If the majority of your constituents think something, you can’t create laws and punish them.’ Like, right, that was kind of the gist of his speech. Like the markets have decided what they want, and now you’re punishing these people. That’s crazy, he said. America’s gonna be a leader, we don’t believe in this, we won’t support this.”
She continued:
Then you have a literal European leader that is basically saying F you to the American constitution, right? Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte are saying, “You know what, we don’t like that podcaster in America and we are gonna launch a lawsuit that’s never been launched before, an unprecedented lawsuit to impoverish her for speaking.” And both JD Vance and Trump have not issued a statement. In fact, where are the journalists even asking them to make a statement, okay? A state leader, a state leader is speaking about your constituent, and launching a lawsuit, and saying you’re gonna impoverish them for executing their First Amendment right — where are you? If you are Trump, the first thing you should have done if you purport to care about America and our constitution, as you’re supposed to be the person that’s defending that day in and day out, you would come out and you would say, “I don’t even know whether I believe that she’s a man or woman, doesn’t matter,” right? “I didn’t watch the series,” fair, he didn’t watch the series. He could even say, like he said to me on the phone, that “I looked at her real close on the Eiffel Tower and it looked like a woman to me.” Okay, you can see all those things, but you should say “It’s unacceptable. I’m a leader of this country and it is unacceptable that this leader would threaten the First Amendment in any way.” We don’t need Pam Bondi rushing to issue a statement about a college male that’s been shoved by a student for wearing an IDF shirt, okay? We don’t need the federal government getting involved on something so meaningless. But we might need our federal government when it comes to this, okay? 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. But no, they’re silent. They are silent. And that’s a pretty loud silence right now. Because like if I remove myself out of the situation, it is crazy that Trump has been silent on this matter, especially after Emmanuel Macron flew and tried to get Trump to shut me up. He knows! He knows what Emmanuel Macron is doing and how desperate he is to do it. So why is he allowing this attack on our speech? It’s crazy.
