Rockatansky, Julian Field, and Travis View. Right wing conspiracists can disagree with each other and even get into feuds. But often the conspiracies they spread broadly serve the same kind of reactionary agenda. There's some kind of unity in even behind the infighting. But Candace Owens breaks from this tradition. She's eager to promote whatever wild theory pops into her inbox and pays no mind if it aggravates other people in the right wing media space, or even her former friends. She doesn't even seem to care if the claims she promotes are otherwise ignored by other American conspiracists, because it seemingly has little relevance to an American audience. We saw this recently when she promoted the theory, which she got from French conspiracists, that Brigitte Macron is secretly a trans woman. She went all in on that claim, even to the point of getting sued by the McCrones over her aggressive promotion. We're seeing this again now over her promotion of conspiracy theories regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Recently, Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, appeared on the Fox News program Outnumber to rail against someone unnamed.

Oh, boy.
Erica Kirk (1:46)
Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever. But when you go after my family, my Turning Point, USA family, my Charlie Kirk show family, when you go after the people that I love, and you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love, because somehow they're in on this.
Sam (2:07)
No, it's amazing, too. You gotta have a lot of energy to do, like, a infinite press junket, like, talk show tour after your husband is, like, gruesomely murdered right in front of your eyes. It's. This is gonna be. This is gonna make us not feel good. Yeah, well, you know, I mean, what's next gonna. Like, this is going to be bad. I feel like Candace Owens is like the living, breathing version of the National Enquirer from, like.
Jake (2:35)
No, no, I love it. I love it because she is creating a lot of chaos. She is creating a lot of chaos. And all these. These guys who. Who. They've had these fault lines forever. Like, you know, and I've been like, kind of. I had to tweet about, like, Kyle Rittenhouse go big. And then Rittenhouse responded to me, and I've just had, like, just a Torrent of like, you know, just shitty like DMs and shit that are. I've kind of had some fun playing with. But I will say like you can see the fault lines. It's like, okay, one guy is clearly all about Christianity, the other guy just wants to say like faggot. He wants to, you know, like say the N word and post like a frog and then call you like a, you know, like whatever. None of these people agree with each other and I think it's. What we need is a, is a, is a match. We need a fucking match. And that might be Candace Owens. We need a spark.
