Kash Patel addresses Candace Owens’ shocking claim that France hired killers to assassinate her

Kash Patel addresses Candace Owens’ shocking claim that France hired killers to assassinate her

Candace Owens’ claim that French President Macron authorized an assassination plot against her, allegedly involving an Israeli operative, has drawn FBI attention. FBI Director Kash Patel stated the agency investigates all threats, though he offered no evidence to support Owens’ theory. Owens has previously suggested conspiracies involving France and Israel.

Candace Owens’ latest accusation has set off a storm bigger than any of her past controversies, pulling in foreign governments, media figures, and now the FBI. The conservative commentator recently claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron authorized an assassination plot targeting her, allegedly involving a team from France’s National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, which she insists includes “one Israeli.” The accusation was widely mocked online, but it landed on the desk of FBI Director Kash Patel, who was confronted with the claims during a tense interview on The Megyn Kelly Show. While Patel did not validate the theory, his response opened the door to a new level of scrutiny over Owens’ explosive allegations.

FBI weighs Candace Owens’ explosive claim that France paid for a hit squad to kill her

Last month, Owens posted her original accusation on X, writing that a “high-ranking employee of the French Government” warned her of an assassination order. She claimed, “the Macrons have executed upon and paid for my assassination,” adding that the plot was already “formalized.” She further alleged the hit squad includes “one Israeli” and linked it to the murder of Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, insisting, “The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead.”On Kelly’s show, Patel was asked point-blank whether he believed a foreign government targeted Owens. Patel didn’t support her claim, but he didn’t dismiss it either: “Any American that receives a death threat from overseas or anywhere in America is going to be fully investigated. So we’re not going to turn our eye away from that investigation or any others.” When pressed again, he clarified, “So fa-, we are just looking at everything that comes in… If someone feels that their life is being threatened, we are of course looking at it.” What Patel didn’t provide was evidence. He admitted the FBI has “zero” credible reason to believe foreign governments were behind Kirk’s assassination and offered nothing to support Owens’ theory. Owens, who has repeatedly suggested conspiracies involving France, Israel, and even Kirk’s associates, now finds herself challenged by those she accused, who invited her to a public event to present proof. She accepted, until she didn’t.Whether Owens’ claim is a genuine tip or her most sensational conspiracy yet, Patel’s refusal to outright dismiss it ensures the story won’t fade anytime soon.Also Read: “Provide a description…”: Candace Owens challenges Tim Pool’s shooting claim, demands proof after alleged attack Go to Source
