Right-wing influencer and antisemitic conspiracy theorist Candace Owens called for Donald Trump to be removed from office on Sunday after claiming “satanic Zionists occupy the White House.”
Owens, who has alleged without evidence that Israeli spies were involved in Charlie Kirk’s death and that Kirk was betrayed by people close to him, referred to Trump as a “Mad King.”
She suggested Trump be impeached and removed as president instead of urging Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, as some critics has called for.
“This is a satanic administration. We all realize that satanic Zionists occupy the White House and Congress needs to move to have the Mad King Trump removed,” Owens posted on her X account, where she is followed by nearly 8 million users.
“All of our lives may depend upon other countries realizing that Trump is deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced him that he is a messiah. We are in uncharted territory. Leaders worldwide need to act accordingly,” Owens continued.
Owens did not explicitly mention the president’s Easter social media post in which Trump demanded Iran “open the f—–’ Strait [of Hormuz]” and ended the message with “praise be to Allah,” mocking Islam.
But Owens retweeted a post from former Republican Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene urging everyone in the president’s administration to “intervene in Trump’s madness.”
The Truth Social post led to renewed calls from the president’s critic for Trump’s cabinet to remove him from office via the 25th Amendment.
“I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit,” Greene tweeted. “I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.”
