Candace Owens因散布未经证实的关于Charlie Kirk遭暗杀的指控, 并诬告法国官员, 引发诽谤诉讼, Candace Owens faces backlash for spreading unverified claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassination and falsely accusing French officials, prompting a defamation lawsuit.

Candace Owens在2023年被The Daily Wire解职后, 受到广泛批评, 批评美国Turning Point创始人查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)遭暗杀后, 鼓吹未经核实的阴谋论。 Candace Owens, after being dismissed by The Daily Wire in 2023, has drawn widespread criticism for promoting unverified conspiracy theories following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. 在最近的一个播客系列中,她声称Kirk是因所谓怀疑美国支持以色列而被杀害的,尽管没有证据,并声称包括Emmanuel Macron总统在内的法国官员下令暗杀她。 In a recent podcast series, she claimed Kirk was killed due to alleged doubts about U.S. support for Israel—despite no evidence—and alleged that French officials, including President Emmanuel Macron, ordered her assassination. 她还错误地声称Brigitte Macron是天生的男性,促使Macros一家提出诽谤诉讼,Owens对此提出了挑战。 She also falsely claimed Brigitte Macron was born male, prompting a defamation lawsuit from the Macrons, which Owens is challenging. 虽然一些左倾数字支持她的调查, 但媒体分析师批评她使用耸人听闻的、真实的犯罪策略来吸引人们的注意。 While some left-leaning figures have supported her investigation, media analysts have criticized her for using sensationalist, true-crime tactics to gain attention. Kirk的遗孀Erika认为索赔是虚假的,虽然两者之间举行了一次私下会议,但没有公开评论其结果。 Kirk’s widow, Erika, called the claims false, though a private meeting between the two occurred without public comment on its outcome.
