Macron and his wife are suing Candace Owens for defamation. The pair is alleging that the influencer profited off of spreading a false rumor that the French first lady was born a biological male.

I realize stupid people believe what these right wing commentators are saying, but how stupid are the commentators for making up stuff like this? The Macron’s should win the suit and take Owen’s for everything she has.

How she says you can’t bully journalists in the U.S.—it’s our 1st Amendment right—as if she didn’t help elect the wannabe authoritarian who is now the BIGGEST bully to free speech and journalists. 🙄 And if she is so versed in U.S. law, then she is well aware how defamation works. 🤭 ❤️ this for her. ✌🏼

Laurence - slightly perplexed @laurenceineu.bsky.social

The defendant demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the 1st amendment, as I have set out elsewhere (it does not inhibit a plaintiff's right to damages). Moreover, it is limited to prohibiting only US government (and its institutions, including US state governments) from interfering in speech

However, there is an impediment in US libel proceedings brought by "celebrities", based on a perverse SCOTUS extension of the 1A. The Sullivan defence means that a celebrity plaintiff has to prove actual malice on the part of the defendant ie. he knew or ought to have known the statement was false.

Candace Owens and her vile Republican Party represent the very worst not just of America but of human beings. The fact that these ghouls are thriving in America has demonstrated to the world that we have lost our values and our democracy. America is beyond corrupt and has embraced evil. Sad.

What is it with these far-right nuts and their declarations: "Brigritte Macron is a man!" "Michelle Obama is a man! "They don't even believe it; they use phony altered pictures and videos. Obama talks about an actual man named Michael, and they scream, "he slipped and called Michelle Michael!" (1/2)

I am so sick of the MAGAs bringing up the stupid, mindless joke Joan Rivers made just before she died about Michelle being a man. MAGAs forever use that as proof positive that she 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 a man, and that Obama murdered Rivers. I hope Owens has to pay every penny she has; enough already. (2/2)
