A former GOP strategist said on Monday that he was “blown away” when he heard a MAGA darling’s latest conspiracy theory.
Last week, Candace Owens claimed in a post on X that the governments of Israel and France were trying to assassinate her. She made the accusation after creating several episodes of her popular podcast, where she accused the Israeli government of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk and said French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife is transgender.
Tim Miller, host of “The Bulwark Podcast,” discussed Owens’ claims on a new episode of “Bulwark Takes” with journalist Will Sommer.
“I was blown away,” Miller said. “I mean, it is absurd on its face.”
Miller also addressed concerns that he is adding fuel to a fire that doesn’t need to be burning.
“Part of the reason why I care about this is that she’s so ridiculous and camp that it is kind of funny,” Miller said. “Another reason is that when I speak at colleges, I ask people what they’re consuming, and the amount of Candace that you hear is pretty alarming.”
“It’s right-wing, obviously MAGA people, but there’s also like kind of this horseshoe lefty folks that were involved in Gaza protests and all that who come by that earnestly,” he added.
