OP, thank you for starting this thread. It provides another good example of the lack of listening comprehension in the C-D audience. The contortions the liberal responders are going through have been quite entertaining.
And I can’t even begin to interpret this attempt at communication:
“My other problem with Owens that was swept under the rug was her gelping dox people in the GamerGate controversy.”
Alternate universe speak?
It is. Her website doxed several people in the GamerGate controversy. I'm the only one speaking of it and nobody says anything about that for or against it and just move on to her whether for or against her.
She changed her mind in under two years. That don't strike you as suspicious. I think she was seeing the traction that Diamond and Silk had and tried to do the same just more traditionally.

Do you find AOC 'suspicious' if she went from being a libertarian-leaning econ major to a persuaded socialist in under two years.

Why do you answer a question with a canard, and then never answer the original question? Is this your way of subconsciously admitting that you were wrong? I have answered your questions, now you answer mine....

I didn't answer your question because I honestly never heard of AOC's previous conversations, so I have no opinion. And as for asking the question I did, many people condone one not the other. I don't know why she thought that way or if it is some sort of college course, who knows. Candice Owens' double-talk about the policies she peddles is easy to find unless she was some sort of conservative that just hated the TEA Party since it was all online... The AOC ones, I follow politics (not as much as others) but I never heard of them. I don't have this sick infatuation with her (AOC) that many seem to have whether to cheerlead her or use her a cudgel.
Well what does that say about the USA? Some of our buddies in Afghanistan were unashamed pedophiles, rapists, and drug dealers.
How many of our good friends in South and Central America are bad guys by anyone's measure?
We loved the Shah of Iran, a brutal murdering dictator.
Be careful your standards would bury the US government and get us labeled as terrorist, pedophiles.
It isn't anti-semite to call out Israel for their many misdeeds and betrayals.
I don't especially like Omar, but you need to find a better measure.
There is a grey area here, no doubt. But as poster 'Rachel' has pointed out, sometimes there are ways to tease out the truth. If someone criticizes Israel for misdeeds, but ignores identical misdeeds of other nations (e.g. expulsion of Jewish refugees from Islamic nations following WWII), it doesn't take a genius of geopolitics to divine the motive.
Since Israel was formed in the wake of the Holocaust, being anti-Semitic and anti-Israel are not identical, but ARE inextricably intertwined. Israel was formed largely through the efforts of the US (in particular President Truman) in reaction to the Holocaust.
Snohomish County WA is just north of Seattle. It's home to a Boeing plant and a Naval base, but otherwise largely rural/suburban. Population is 800,000, mostly white, Asian, and Native with just 2.7% black population. The town of Snohomish is known as 'the Bedford Falls of Washington' (pop. 10,000).
The county GOP chair, Debra Blodgett, booked Candace Owens a year or so ago for their annual Lincoln day dinner. Debra said that she had a hard time giving away tickets at the county fair last year, as everyone said 'Candace who?'
Now as Candace has blown up, tickets are sold out and she has a massive waiting list of Republicans wishing to attend. More than 600 are expected to attend, for their biggest Lincoln day dinner ever. There is no room to accept any more at the venue.
Debra has a track record of scoring such coups, as past guests have included writer/filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza and former US house member/retired Army Col. Allen West.
Overall, I don't what to think of Candace Owens with what I have read or heard about her. However, while she is correct that Hitler was a homicidal maniac that killed his own people, she mentioned that a nationalist would not do such a thing! Uh, if a nationalist has a certain view of their country such as those that believe that American should be even more White than it already is, advocating to harm those that don't fit their criteria would be similar to what Hitler did. However, that does not necessarily make her what many would call a Nazi sympathizer.
Also, even if she is extremely pro-Trump, not all the points she makes might warrant criticism. Furthermore, nationalism is not wrong in itself (the idea of having a strong love for your country) but it is how you express nationalism through words or actions that is more of the concern.

Candace Owens causes major stir as she prepares to visit tiny Snohomish Cty. in Washington State.
