“Her mental illness….”: Candace Owens ridicules Laura Loomer amid growing storm over Hunter Biden interview
A new interview featuring Hunter Biden and conservative commentator Candace Owens has sparked another public battle in MAGA circles. A discussion about political controversy quickly devolved into a bitter fight between Owens and far-right activist Laura Loomer, who challenged the timing and reason for the high-profile discussion.The interview’s clips began to circulate on social media, making the debate even hotter. While some viewers focused on Hunter Biden’s comments, others turned their attention to the growing tension between Owens and Loomer, a feud that now stretches from American politics to an ongoing legal battle involving French President Emmanuel Macron.
Candace Owens and Hunter Biden interview draws scrutiny from Laura Loomer
The interview attracted attention because of its surprisingly cordial tone. During the conversation, Hunter Biden defended Owens’ right to discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and touched on the role of Erika Kirk, who recently became CEO of Turning Point USA.Owens had previously faced criticism after publicly discussing alleged text messages that she claimed Charlie Kirk sent before his death. Hunter’s willingness to engage with those topics created a wave of reactions online, especially among conservative audiences.Laura Loomer soon entered the discussion, arguing that the interview may have had less to do with politics and more to do with Owens’ legal situation. Loomer pointed to Owens’ upcoming motion-to-dismiss hearing in a defamation case brought by Emmanuel Macron and French First Lady Brigitte Macron.The lawsuit stems from Owens’ repeated claims that Brigitte Macron was born a man, allegations she promoted through media appearances and an extensive video series.Loomer wrote:“This means Carney, who appointed the judge overseeing Candace Owens’ defamation case, knows Hunter Biden, in addition to knowing the judge.“I believe this is why Candace Owens is cozying up to the Biden family one month before her motion to dismiss hearing. She’s likely hoping her closeness to the Biden family and their relationship with the former Governor of Delaware who appointed the judge overseeing her case will win her favor with the judge or win her favor in Delaware if her case goes to trial.”
Candace Owens responds as MAGA feud escalates
Owens wasted little time responding. Rather than addressing the legal theory directly, she mocked Loomer’s accusations and questioned her credibility.“LMAO. Can someone with an IQ above 40 explain to this rabid hyena what a jurisdictional argument is in court so that she can avoid slapping “EXCLUSIVE!” on her mental disfigurations in the future?” Owens wrote on X.“It may also help her understand why no one needs to “flee the country” or “hide assets” at the Vatican before a first hearing (last month’s schizophrenic musings).”The exchange did not end there. Owens later added another jab directed at Loomer, writing:“The problem with Larry Loomer isn’t her mental illness. It’s the stupidity paired with it.”The latest dispute highlights the increasingly public divisions among influential conservative personalities. While the Hunter Biden interview initially generated headlines on its own, the fierce Owens-Loomer battle has become the bigger story, drawing attention from both supporters and critics across the political spectrum.
