Candace Owens said she would bet her career that French President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigette is a man."After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man," Owens wrote in a Tuesday post on X, formerly Twitter. "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."Owens spoke in depth about the longstanding conspiracy theory during Monday's episode of her podcast, arguing that if Brigette really wanted to debunk those claims, she could simply release photos from the first 30 years of her life.
Analyzing a rare family photo of Brigette as a baby, Owens said Brigette was a "dead ringer" for her brother, and thus, they were really the same person.Last year, a French court fined two women for promoting the conspiracy about Brigette in a now-deleted YouTube video.
In 2021, Psychic Amandine Roy and self-described freelance journalist Natacha Rey claimed in a four-hour video that the first lady was born as a boy by the name of Jean-Michel Trogneux, which is actually the name of her brother.
