The girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel believes a constellation of far-right influencers are part of a “foreign-linked influence network” running a “coordinated operations” campaign against her and Donald Trump’s presidency.
Country singer Alexis Wilkins claims to have collected evidence of an operation intended to create “chaos” within the Republican Party to derail 2026 midterm elections and “subvert” the president’s agenda.
The 27-year-old singer — who along with 45-year-old Patel has faced widespread scrutiny for allegedly using taxpayer resources for personal travel and security — has previously sued right-wing influencers over conspiracy theories alleging she is a “honeypot” agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and being used to manipulate the federal government.
On Tuesday night, she posted a 13-part thread on X with images of charts and graphs she claims reveal “abnormal” social media behavior amplifying those claims, which she compared to a “weapon” against her and the Trump administration.
Her posts allege a Russian-linked effort to undermine the president through figures like Candace Owens, former Trump adviser Michael Flynn and now-former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent to fracture the president’s MAGA base with antisemitic conspiracy theories.
She pointed to Owens claiming Israel was behind the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, which “immediately” activated “honeypot” allegations, according to Wilkins.
“A moment of natural Republican unity is converted, within hours, into one of the most sustained fracture points of the year,” she wrote.
Kent, who resigned from the administration over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, said that he stepped down after it became clear that “we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
Shortly after his resignation, the Flynn-backed Catholics for Catholics group announced Kent at a gala in Washington, D.C., Kent sat for an interview with Tucker Carlson, and he appeared onstage with Flynn and Owens at the Waldorf Astoria, Wilkins noted.
Wilkins claims the alleged influence operation is designed to “make the fractures feel permanent,” including targeting U.S. military morale to make the Iran war feel as if it “isn’t worth fighting,” she wrote.
Right-wing figures have splintered over the Trump administration’s war, with allies and die-hard supporters backing the president’s actions despite his promises to end America’s forever wars, while many anti-interventionist voices on the right have claimed Israel dragged the U.S. into the war, often hinting at or relying on antisemitic tropes to demand U.S. withdrawal.
Support for the war has collapsed, with only 35 percent of Americans approving U.S. strikes, down from 37 percent one week earlier, according to Tuesday’s polling from Reuters/Ipsos.
But Wilkins, who identifies as a Christian conservative, insists MAGA “doesn’t have an approval problem.”
“It has an infiltration problem,” she said.
Owens called the 13-part thread “completely and utterly false” and “objectively hilarious.”
“I would say ‘stick to country music’ but you kinda suck at that too,” she wrote.
Flynn posted a meme of two cats reading smartphones with the caption “Me and my so called ‘flynn network’ hard at work... don’t lose your sense of humor folks, stuff getting deep.”
Catholics for Catholics said its goal is not to win a political argument but “to win souls for Jesus Christ.”
“And by no means do we want ‘soldiers’ to tire … we must never stop fighting for America and Christ’s Kingdom!” the group wrote.
In an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year, Wilkins dismissed the suggestion that she may be at least partly responsible for the climate of right-wing misinformation she is now firmly inside.
Wilkins previously promoted Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election and false claims about the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, COVID-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“I don’t think it’s a straight line back to Trump or his ascent or his presidency,” she said at the time. “I think that we have arrived at a unique time in politics where people have so much information, they can look up anything.”
