  • How Candace Owens Happened, pt. 3: Going Max
    Mar 5 2026

    Candace Owens didn’t invent the conspiracy that France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron is secretly transgender. Instead, she scaled it into a sprawling narrative about elite corruption, satanic power structures, intelligence-state mind control — and the assassination of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk. In the miniseries finale, Cristen traces three moves that define Candace Owens’ independent era: globalize debunked disinformation, monetize the blowback, and internalize the framework until even her own allies become part of the plot. But with a $10M media brand, an army of loyal followers protecting their truth-teller, and platforms profiting off the performance, is Candace Owens too big to fail?

  • How Candace Owens Happened, pt. 2.5: Team God vs Team Satan
    Feb 19 2026

    Post Daily Wire firing, Candace Owens didn’t just go independent—she went cosmic. Converting to traditionalist Catholicism, she reframed culture war as holy war, casting politics as “team God vs. team Satan.” In part 2.5 of the miniseries, Cristen unravels how Owens’ alignment with a rising far-right tradCath movement gave her conspiracism a theological framework, baiting “Christ is King” controversy, spiritualizing persecution narratives and resurrecting medieval disinformation. Plus: the influence of her husband, George Farmer, and what his tradCath worldview signals about Candace’s post-institutional era.

  • How Candace Owens Happened, pt. 2: The Persecution Feedback Loop
    Feb 7 2026

    From fringe YouTuber to “the new face of Black conservatism,” Candace Owens’ rise wasn’t inevitable, but the system that rewarded it was. In part 2 of the miniseries, Cristen traces how Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, The Daily Wire and a billionaire-backed right-wing media ecosystem legitimized Candace as a reactionary culture warrior—while Kanye West supercharged her celebrity. But as Candace pushed further, testing the limits of “free speech” and anti-woke conspiracism, the same institutions disavowed her. It's the story of how she became too powerful for them to control.
