Why Should American Citizens Be Liable For Defaming Foreign Heads of State?

Candace Owens, you might have heard, is currently facing a lawsuit for allegedly defaming the alleged first lady of France due to her repeated and defiant claims, refusing to recant them under legal threat, that Brigitte Macron is a biological male.

Beyond the substance, the question that strikes me is: If we’re not allowed by our own government to defame French presidents and their creepy wives, what are we doing?

What was that war for independence all about if these transatlantic people get to waltz right into American courts, which they don’t help finance through taxation by the way, and sue American journalists for saying mean things about them on the internet?

Doesn’t this totally 100% real lady have anything better to do with her time, like helping her ditzy husband figure out what to do with millions of rapey migrants turning the once-great French civilization into Sodom and Gomorrah?

If smearing foreign dignitaries is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Thomas Paine, I’m confident, would have my back on that one.

If Brigitte is not a man, she’s at the very least, according to her and her husband’s own accounting of events, a sexual predator who seduced and groomed her 15-year-old male student when she was 39.

I haven’t watched Candace Owens’ lengthy investigation into Brigitte Macron’s biological sex, both because I don’t have the bandwidth and because Candace Owens isn’t really my jam, and so I can’t judge the veracity of all of her evidence.

Here’s what I do know:

  • Politicians lie about everything all the time. If their lips are moving, they’re probably lying. The notion that an individual such as this would fabricate a new gender identity for himself/herself is so not beyond the pale that I don’t know what to tell anyone who would dismiss the possibility off the bat.
  • Brigitte Macron has clear character issues, as evidenced not just by her predation of her pubescent student but by the pimp-slap she delivered to him when she didn’t know the cameras were rolling on that airplane a couple of months ago
  • The first lady of one of the world’s preeminent economies taking time out of her life to sue a foreign podcaster for saying things she doesn’t like is highly suspect and raises more eyebrows than if she had just ignored it. See: Streisand effect
  • Brigitte is ugly as sin. Of course, legacy women are capable of not being beautiful, but, dear god in heaven, if that’s a woman, it’s downright criminally fugly
  • A French court, just two weeks ago, overturned the libel convictions of two French journalists who had made the same claim as Owens. Are we to accept that French courts allow greater freedom of expression for subjects of France than U.S. courts do for American citizens?
  • I have never seen, once in my life, a woman behave or sit like she does in the video below. Never. The mannerisms, the body shape, the hand gestures — none of it is remotely feminine.  

Obviously, that collection of evidence is not dispositive, but taken together, its sum is enough to raise some questions or even assertions that don’t merit legal consequences for those who make them, particularly against, again, a head of state of a foreign nation.
