“The Brigitte story”, BTW, is her baseless assertion that Macron’s wife is a transwoman, for which the Macrons are currently suing her. > **[French first lady Brigitte Macron plagued by ‘deep anxiety’ over false claims...](https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/europe/brigitte-macron-daughter-gender-cyberbullying-latam-intl)** > > The daughter of French first lady Brigitte Macron told a Paris court on Tuesday that her mother now suffers from “deep anxiety” because of false claims about her gender. ---

They are driving three abreast down the freeway with her’s the middle car. They both aim their guns at her, she bends down to change the radio station, and the two assassins kill each other. As she drives away obliviously, the other two vehicles slow down and drive into the ditch on either side. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Candace Owens says the president of France, in conjunction with the Mossad, is trying to kill her and that they also killed Charlie Kirk. So… this is the Candace Owens who spent a lot of oxygen on declaring Mme Macron a trans woman - I think she put it as “actually a man”? And she thinks the Macrons care enough about that, and her, to kill her? Last I heard the Macrons were suing her in the State of Delaware, so apparently they are a little cranked about it, but why does Owens think she’s important enough to warrant killing? And why would Mossad get involved? Little Miss Paranoid needs to get over herself. ---

Putting aside the rest of the ridiculousness, how would she get the information about the assassins’ names and money transfers? If she has access to that kind of stuff, then either she’s actually important or they’re too incompetent to worry about now. ---
