Candace Owens and Hunter Biden may come from opposite sides of America’s political battlefield, but the unlikely pair just found one shocking thing they seemed to agree on.
During a tense and bizarre podcast interview, Owens and Biden raised serious doubts about the assassination attempts against President Donald Trump, sparking instant outrage from critics who accused them of pushing a dangerous conspiracy theory.
The jaw-dropping exchange unfolded on Owens’ self-titled podcast, where the conservative commentator sat down with former President Joe Biden’s embattled son for a wide-ranging conversation that quickly veered into explosive territory.
At one point, the two began questioning the string of attacks and alleged attempts targeting Trump in recent years, including the horrifying shooting at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was struck in the ear and a rallygoer was killed.
Instead of treating the attacks as grim political violence, Biden and Owens appeared to suggest something about the incidents did not add up.
“It’s just not right,” Hunter said during the interview. “And I mean it’s so glaringly not right it’s almost as if they’re just saying ‘F you.’”
Owens then pushed the suspicion even further.
“We’re supposed to believe he survived four assassination attempts?” she asked. “The first president that’s ever survived four assassination attempts?”
That was all it took for social media to explode.
Hunter Biden and Candace seem to agree that the Trump assassination attempts were staged:

Critics immediately tore into the pair, with many blasting the comments as not only reckless but deeply disrespectful to the people affected by the violence.
One furious X user raged that the “Trump staged his own assassination attempts” crowd was “delusional,” while another pointed to the Pennsylvania rally victim who was killed while shielding his family.
“That shows you just exactly how sick and demented that lady is, in my opinion,” the critic wrote. “Because the one in Pennsylvania, a father and a husband, was shot and killed in cold blood while protecting his family. Was that staged?”
Others mocked the strange political pairing itself, with one commenter taking a brutal swipe at both Hunter and Owens by referencing Biden’s past drug addiction and Owens’ history of controversial online projects.
The conversation did not stop with Trump.
Owens and Biden also waded into the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with Hunter appearing open to some of Owens’ darker suspicions about the circumstances surrounding Kirk’s murder.
Owens has repeatedly questioned details involving Kirk’s death, Turning Point USA leadership, internal drama, and the future of the organization after the killing. Her comments about Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, and alleged text messages she claimed Charlie sent before his death have already triggered backlash from critics who accused her of using the tragedy to stir up attention online.
The interview then took another strange turn when Owens brought up a conspiracy theory much closer to Hunter Biden’s own life.
She asked him about the infamous bag of cocaine found inside the White House in 2023, a scandal that instantly became political ammunition because of Hunter’s well-documented history of drug addiction.
Hunter flatly denied the drugs belonged to him.
“No,” he said.
He then argued that people misunderstand where the cocaine was found, saying the area is used by visitors and staff moving through the West Wing.
“People have to understand, where that cocaine was found – that is where visitors come in,” Hunter explained. “They come over from the old executive office building, staff, to go to the Oval or go to the chief of staff office or to the offices in the West Wing.”
He added that the bag was discovered in a cubby near the Situation Room and insisted there was “no possibility” it was his, saying he was not even there at the time.
But by then, the interview had already become a political firestorm.
For many viewers, the headline was not Hunter denying the White House cocaine rumors. It was the spectacle of Candace Owens and Hunter Biden, two people who usually sit on opposite ends of America’s culture war, seemingly finding common ground in one of the wildest theories in modern politics.
And critics made it clear they were not buying it.
