The French president is currently suing the conservative US commentator over her allegations that his wife was born a man<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conservative US commentator and podcaster Candace Owens has posed for photos next to a face sculpture depicting an angry French President Emmanuel Macron at RT\u2019s stand at the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).<\/p>\n

The 3-D likeness which attracted Owens\u2019s attention is part of an exhibit called \u201812 Angry Viewers of RT.\u2019 It features the heads of the most prominent Western politicians and public figures to have criticized the broadcaster or attempted to cancel it over the years, including former US President Joe Biden, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the current leaders of Germany and the UK, Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky, tech entrepreneurs Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, and others.<\/p>\n

Last July, Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation lawsuit against Owens after her repeated suggestions that France\u2019s first lady was born a man. The blogger, who has 6 million subscribers on YouTube, also claimed later that Macron had ordered her assassination.<\/p>\n

During her interview with RT\u2019s Rick Sanchez on Thursday, Owens doubled down on her accusations, saying that she was \u201c1,010%\u201d<\/em> convinced that Brigitte Macron is transgender, especially after the Macrons took her to court.

\u201cI don\u2019t know who was advising them – a sitting president of a foreign country suing a podcaster in another country. This shows that there is something very true about the claims that are being made, not the opposite,\u201d<\/em> she argued.<\/p>\n

Owens arrived at SPIEF to participate in a panel on family values, titled \u201cA Big Family, a Big Reach: New Demographics and Narratives for Media Leaders,\u201d<\/em> which was held earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

She made the trip to Russia with her husband and four kids, describing it as \u201ca family vacation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t know if standing next to a death mask of Macron inside the RT studio at SPIEF was on Candace Owens’ bucket list, but we made it happen anyway.<\/p>\n

Before traveling to St. Petersburg, Owens toured Moscow, noting \u201cit is genuinely shocking how clean, beautiful and orderly this city is. It is so far removed from media depictions.\u201d<\/em>
