"Owens claimed she notified the Trump administration about the attempts on her life. The FBI, the White House, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not respond to my requests for comment. A Pentagon spokeswoman was oddly noncommittal when asked whether France, a NATO ally, was trying to murder a high-profile American media figure on American soil.¹" Thank you, Will, for this hilarity!! And to the podcaster lamenting kirk's "vision"...oh yes...what an admirable vision. He said if his daughter was raped he would make her give birth and he said Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of gay people, serves as "god's perfect law" and that he would be scared to fly if the pilot was black. Oh yes, what a wonderful vision. I hope this candace freak does destroy tpusa. What is wrong with these people?

Slightly off topic, has anyone else noticed how much Erica Kirk resembles a young Tammy Faye, or am I the only one so blessed?

The following quote & clip was released after Will Sommer's newsletter was posted.

Erika Kirk has one word for Candace Owens, who has been peddling conspiracy theories about her late husband, Charlie Kirk: "Stop."

This is all part of the same hateful stew - they are all preying on the vulnerable - to make money.

It wasn't the French. It was the fremen.

This timeline is surely the stupidest possible in the multiverse. I am fascinated, I have to admit, how these basically fantasy-persons live their lives. Imagine *being* Candance Owens, or Mike Flynn for that sake. How scary it must be, and how insane.

Will Sommer: reading all the MAGA and right-wing crazy so we don't have to.

Sorry to do this, but you mean stanch, not staunch.

A numerologist for the manosphere. That might be the funniest thing I've heard all week. Will, your work is compulsory reading 🤣

I remember when these guys were all about liberal tears. Did the libs stop crying so they had to turn on each other?

I was thinking earlier it’s a good thing for MAGA World that dueling went out of fashion. It’d be Burr/Hamilton everyday.

They're in power now and so addicted to the dopamine rush from vile behavior that it's no longer enough to merely spray vitriol outward; they now have to go after one another.

"Three month anniversary?" Ain't no such thing. Respect for our written language continues to erode. I expect better of those who write for a living. You sound like your written vocabulary has been "hand curated." Ugh. As to the subject of your piece, I couldn't care less about Candace Owen and her conspiracy theories. I'd be happy if we could relegate so-called influencers to the dustbin of reportage.

If you survey the literature on the JFK assasination the number of people implicated probably total in the hundreds. Members of the CIA, FBI, KGB, Castro’s Cuba, anti Castro dissidents, the Mafia, a conglomerate of Dallas oilmen, the Secret Service, Dallas police, LBJ, Nixon, labor unions, big corporations et al. But it took 60 years and hundreds of crackpots to compile this list. In just three months Candace Owens with an assist from her online researchers has put together an even larger list of conspirators involved in the murder or coverup of Charlie Kirk which include, but are not limited to: Benjamin Netanyahu, Mossad, other members of the Israeli government, AIPAC, wealthy Jewish donors, Jews in general, the French President and his transgender wife, the French Foreign Legion, the French in general, the Egyptian government, Calvary Chapel churches, other “Zionist” evangelical Christians, Kash Patel and the whole FBI, the CIA, the United States military, local Utah law enforcement, pretty much anyone who witnessed the event and gave an interview, anybody who happened to be wearing a maroon shirt on campus, people who owned private planes that were parked in Provo, Utah within a week before or after the assassination, individuals or companies who own real property on a particular street in Delaware, numerous members of TPUSA and its affiliates and, most lately, the grieving widow Erika Kirk. Believe me this is just a partial list. This is a truly astonishing accomplishment of Candace Owens. I know I’m partially responsible for her success because I go to sleep listening to her podcast because it’s insanely entertaining. Guilty as charged but I can’t wait for the next edition. Got to keep this crazy train rolling.

Not that I think Trump's Treasury Dept would ever ever investigate Turning Point USA, I found the sentence "And in this case, it's hideous that malicious lies and smears obligated her to make the request" to be overly political.
