Candace Owens appeared to suggest on social media that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, is responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The ex-Daily Wire host pushed the wild conspiracy theory in response to a post on X, formerly Twitter, from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) suggesting AIPAC, a controversial lobbying group, should be required to register with the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
“Foreign interest lobbying group AIPAC is running $300,000 of ads as part of a pressure campaign to influence my votes in Congress,” Massie wrote to his followers.
He asked, “The Foreign Agents Registration Act requires agents of foreign principals to register & disclose certain information. Should AIPAC register w/FARA?”
Owens, who left the Daily Wire over disagreements with Ben Shapiro over her criticisms of Israel and penchant for embracing anti-Semitic tropes, responded to Massie’s poll by suggesting AIPAC played a role in the assassination of JFK.
“Yes but I’m pretty sure they murdered JFK for trying to get this done,” she wrote.

Owens then quote-tweeted his poll demanding he be protected “at all costs.”
