Nick Fuentes has criticized Candace Owens for defending Lindsay Clancy who has been held on trial for the January 2023 deaths of her three young children - Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, then 8 months.

Clancy is a former labor and delivery nurse from Massachusetts. She has admitted to the acts but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Her defense has argued severe postpartum psychosis and effects of multiple psychiatric medications.

In his recent livestream, Fuentes berated Owens as he questioned her judgement as a mother herself. He framed her stance as detached from reality and devotion to God. He said:

“Have you lost your F****** mind?! You’re a mother yourself, you S*** B****! What is wrong with you?! Candace, come back to reality, come back to God!"

In a clip shared on social media, Owens has stated that Clancy is “obviously not guilty,” attributing the tragedy to medical treatment and “Big Pharma.”

What did Candace Owens say about ongoing Lindsay Clancy's case ?

Candace Owens has shared her views on Lindsay Clancy's murder trial saying that she is “obviously not guilty” and had blamed it on her medical treatment.

In the clips circulating on social media, Owens said:

"I made my thoughts clear on this the moment that she was arrested, the moment that it made the news. Lindsey Clancy is obviously not guilty. There are a fleet of doctors who should be imprisoned for what they put her on."

She continued to blame the pharmaceuticals, adding:

"I regularly speak out against Big Pharma. They get away with murder all the time and in this case they are getting away with the murder of really her three children but also completely destroyed her life."

Owens then says:

"She was put into a an intentional psychosis when she probably just needed to give her kids away for a weekend to get better but they constantly give you these drugs that do not make things better."

Many online users slammed Owens for her views on Lindsay Clancy's case with a majority being negative. A user quipped that it is "a ploy to make money by selling her controversial stance." However, another user did not sided with the "Candace cult" but noted that Clancy had been begging for help and was failed by the "healthcare system."

Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the strangling deaths of her children at the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023.

In his testimony, clinical and forensic psychologist Paul Zeizel revealed the dark period which Clancy underwent leading up to the killings. He said that she experienced "derealization" as well as symptoms of psychosis. He said she was concerned that others could hear her thoughts and her children would be removed from her care. He said:

"She wasn't just having everyday thoughts that we all have, reminding ourselves to do something, which we make note of and then we move on. "Intrusive thoughts are unrelenting. They don't stop."

Zeizel said that Clancy's thoughts "were getting worse, and they were telling her to kill herself." A psychologist who met Clancy in the hospital told the court that she reported hearing a male voice telling her she had to kill her children and die by suicide.

On the other hand, Lindsay Clancy's husband, Patrick Clancy, has started a new life in New York following their divorce. Patrick is a business applications sales executive at Microsoft. A report on Fox News stated that Zeizel has remarried, and his current wife is Dr. Rachel Danis, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist.
