FALSE FLAG
Candace Owens to Trump: Save Me from the Macrons
The right-wing podcaster is staring down some hefty legal bills—and merch sales alone might not cut it.

IT’S BEEN A MONTH since French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron sued right-wing podcaster Candace Owens over her claims that they’re involved in an elaborate criminal conspiracy to hide the supposed fact that Brigitte is transgender.
Things are starting to get real for Owens, who appears to have a dual strategy in responding to the Gallic leaders: Asking her fans to fund her enormous legal bills and demanding that Trump intervene to stop the Macrons’ “invasion.”
On an August 11 episode of her podcast, (1) Owens admitted she didn’t have enough money to pay the enormous legal fees that her lawyers are predicting will come. … “This lawsuit—we got an estimate this weekend from a legal team,” Owens said. “It is going to cost us millions. I don’t have that money. I really don’t. So I thought we could actually sell some t-shirts.”
I’m not sure that that merch—$30 shirts that say “#FreeEmmanuel”—will get Owens very far in the courtroom, even if her fans buy the matching $30 hats as well. Which may explain why Owens is pressuring President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to somehow block the Macrons’ lawsuit.
