Candace Owens has made a serious claim about U.S. President Donald Trump and political activist Laura Loomer, and it is gaining significant attention online. In a recent episode of her podcast, Owens suggested that Trump may be under some form of pressure to support Loomer on his platform, Truth Social.
Owens Questions Trump's Motives
Owens did not hold back in her analysis. She stated that Trump's recent post backing Loomer did not feel authentic to her. Instead, she proposed that there could be a larger reason behind the endorsement. She even revived an old rumor, claiming that Loomer might possess damaging information about Trump.
This comes amid already heightened tensions between Owens and Loomer. Their ongoing online feud has escalated significantly with this new allegation. Simultaneously, Loomer has targeted Owens' husband, George Farmer, further intensifying the conflict. Currently, there is no concrete evidence to support Owens' claims, but her statements have ignited a fresh debate, prompting many to ask the same question she raised: why did Trump publicly support Loomer at that moment?
The Podcast Explanation
Candace Owens elaborated on her reasoning during her podcast. She recounted that Laura Loomer had engaged in what Owens described as a "racist rant," and shortly thereafter, Trump posted a supportive message for Loomer on Truth Social. Owens found this sequence of events unusual. She shared information from her sources, stating:
"She was going on an unhinged racist rant, and then she was able to make a demand that the President of the United States issue a Truth Social supporting her mania. It was a demand I was told that Susie Wiles was opposed to… and yet, Trump’s team overall conceded. The question is, why? That’s a very important question."
From there, Owens presented her own theory. She mentioned a long-standing rumor that Loomer might have blackmail material involving Trump. She explained:
"There has been a very long standing rumor that it’s because she has blackmail on him… it has something to do with her having relations that she went onto Air Force One years ago, as we all knew. And then began telling people that she had relations with Donald Trump."
Despite making this claim, Owens admitted she is not entirely convinced the rumor is true. However, she still believes Loomer may be employing pressure tactics. She added:
"Do I believe what she’s going to allege, what they’re afraid of? Probably not, if I’m being honest. But is she now threatening them into compliance, or she will make his life a living hell… Probably. They probably just don’t want to deal with Loomer."
Warning to Viewers
Owens also advised her viewers to be cautious about information from Loomer. She warned them not to accept Loomer's claims without critical thought. The situation escalated further on April 29 when Laura Loomer shared what appeared to be a mugshot of George Farmer online and directly questioned Owens. In her post, Loomer wrote:
"Candace, do you want to explain this to your audience? Or should I? Last week you said you had nothing to hide!"
As of now, Candace Owens has not responded to that specific post. She has remained active online but has neither confirmed nor denied the image.
Current Status
At present, there is no official proof supporting the blackmail claim. There is also no confirmation regarding the alleged mugshot. The entire situation is based on public statements, online posts, and the ongoing personal conflict between the two parties. What is clear is that this feud has transcended mere differences of opinion. It has evolved into serious accusations, public interrogations, and growing scrutiny from social media users worldwide.
