"Just retarded": Candace Owens responds after Alex Jones slams her & claims she works for Democratic party, "deep state" & CIA

A public feud between conservative commentators Candace Owens and Alex Jones escalated sharply on December 29, 2025, after Jones accused Owens of being a “globalist agent” tied to the Democratic Party, the CIA, and foreign intelligence services. The remarks, delivered in a heated video shared on X (formerly Twitter), followed weeks of tension within right-wing media circles linked to Owens’ unverified claims surrounding the killing of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Candace Owens responded the same day with a dismissive post, mocking Jones’ accusations and suggesting he retire if he could not offer what she described as credible proof. Owens summed up her view of Jones’ claims in blunt terms, calling them “just retarded.”

Alex Jones accuses Candace Owens of working for the ‘deep state’

As seen in a video clip circulated by AF Post on X (formerly Twitter) on December 29, 2025 Alex Jones said he had “dropped the ball” by not investigating Candace Owens earlier, claiming he now believed she was a “globalist agent.”

He alleged she worked for the Democratic Party, the CIA, and MI6, and framed the dispute in combative terms, saying he was ready for a “war.” Jones also claimed that threats and doxxing attempts linked to Owens’ supporters had only intensified his resolve. He did not present any proof to substantiate his allegations.

The accusations came amid Alex Jones’ broader pushback against Candace Owens’ recent commentary on Charlie Kirk’s death. Kirk was shot and killed in Utah on September 10, 2025. Since then, Owens has floated theories alleging international involvement and internal betrayal within Turning Point USA, without presenting confirmed evidence, according to recent media reports.

Jones has repeatedly challenged those claims on his InfoWars program, arguing that Owens was accusing “innocent people with ironclad alibis" in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on December 24, 2025.

Alex Jones’ latest remarks marked his most aggressive rhetoric yet, moving beyond criticism of Candace Owens’ reporting to personal accusations about her loyalties and motives.

Candace Owens responded on X (formerly Twitter) on December 29, 2025 with a post that mocked Jones’ comments, quoting the comment “Have some self respect and just retire” made by a social media user, and describing it as accurate. She also wrote that Alex Jones should either present what she sarcastically called “actual fed slop” or step away from public commentary.

The exchange unfolded against a backdrop of growing divisions within conservative media. Earlier, on December 22, 2025, Alex Jones had also questioned Owens’ claims about Charlie Kirk’s killing, prompting commentary from figures such as Laura Loomer, who said she had influenced Jones to reassess Owens.

"A couple weeks ago, Alex Jones and I had a very long private conversation about some bad actors in the woke right and Alex told me he was starting to come around to what I have been saying for the last 2 years. Eventually more people will wake up to this psyop"

Alex Jones later rejected that narrative in a December 25, 2025 video, saying he acted independently and accusing Loomer of inserting herself into the controversy for attention.

As of December 29, 2025 Candace Owens has continued to stand by her criticism of Turning Point USA leadership, while Alex Jones has doubled down on disputing her claims. Neither side has indicated any move toward de-escalation, and their allegations regarding all matters raised by them remain unverified and unsubstantiated.
