Can someone explain to me why multiple world leaders respond to the random things Candice Owens says on her strange little show?

Do they not understand that to engage with her is to raise her profile?

She's having a moment and becoming one of the most important voices in conservative media. Isn't America remarkable?

Is she the one who will inherit the ... role of Alex Jones. I didn't see that coming.

These conservatives loooove a Black person talking nonsense. Good lordt.

I don't even like to talk about her because controversy is her O2. But at this point with all these presidents and so on addressing what's she's said I don't think that matters much.

Rumors that are beneath even denial.
To take the time to deny them gives them credit.

I keep making posts like this then realizing that for people not in the US, or those who don't follow politics in the US probably too much it must be very confusing.

Here is the context.

Candice Owens is a right wing "commentator" with ties to TPUSA (where Charlie Kirk, the guy who was murdered worked) but she is more famous for working with Ben Shapiro of the conservative "Daily Wire" Candice left the Daily Wire since she didn't agree with them about Israel.
