Candace Owens has wagered her career on the wild theory that French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife was born a man.
The controversial conservative commentator took to X to tout the false story, hours after outlining it on an episode of her podcast.
It claims that French First Lady Brigitte Macron, 70, was actually born Jean-Michel Trogneux, before eventually transitioning at age 30.
It further states that she did not give birth to any of her three children, and that her first husband, a 69-year-old retired banker said to have died a recluse in 2020, never existed.
The conspiracy stems from an completely false claim made by far-right magazine Faits et Documents (Facts & Documents), after Macron, 46, was elected.
But the debate was reignited last month after Emmanuel Macron’s step-daughter, Tiphaine Auzière, gave an interview to Paris Match in which she addressed claims that her mother Brigitte was born male.
Auzière was just 10 when she found out that her teacher mom was involved with a student who was 25 years her junior.
‘I have concerns about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man,’ she said.
