Candace Owens goes where the money is.

She was anti-Trump until he was elected to office..than she switched to pro-conservative, pro-Trump just like that.

She's a political pundit entertainer that is cashing in and doing it well.

The fact she was chosen to be the voice of the Republican party shows how far they are from their original mandate.

Candace Owens: Democrats Put on ‘Ultimate Display of Cowardice’ at Congressional Hearing

“An ultimate act of cowardice,” responded Owens, giving her take on one particular moment from the hearing, “The idea that he tried to create a narrative and just think that his constituents, that the American people are so stupid, that they are not going to go pursue the full context of what we were talking about.”


“And instead, [Lieu] tries to pretend like I jumped on a stage one day and launched into a defense of a homicidal maniac who murdered six million Jews,” continued Owens, “It was disgusting, but it did him a great disservice, because, let me tell you — [people] realize now — the length that they’re willing to go to smear anybody, especially a black conservative.”
“And it’s really interesting,” added Kirk, “Ted Lieu not giving you a chance to respond? How fitting. It’s the ‘guilty until proven innocent,’ right? No cross-examination, no capacity to defend yourself — it would be one thing if he played that, and then he would say, ‘Ms. Owens, what would you like to say about that?’ Instead, he plays the clip and then he just moves on.”

Kirk then recalled the moment that followed, which ended up creating one of the many viral moments shared and viewed by millions on the internet.
And then, my favorite part is that one of the Republican congressmen — God bless him — who gave you his time, right? He’s like, ‘Ms. Owens, I think you should be allowed to respond to this.’ And then, I’m paraphrasing here, but you said something along the lines of, ‘Ted Lieu thinks black people are stupid,’ and then congressman Nadler, who just woke up from his nap, says, ‘the witness will not call another member of the committee stupid,’ and you didn’t say that. You actually said he thinks other people are stupid, and then, the greatest moment of the whole hearing, is Nadler just kind of shrugs.
“Yeah, and it’s funny — suddenly [Rep. Nadler] got all gavel happy,” laughed Owens, as she recalled the instance, “He just wanted to say something to me, because I had earlier said to him that he exhibits anti-black bias.”
Owens then went on to talk about another congressman, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), who had also acted unprofessionally by calling her “despicable,” and then left the hearing.

“Of course, after he calls me despicable, he leaves,” said Owens, “He doesn’t give me a chance to respond — because they’re all cowards — they say that they want to lift up minority voices, not mine. They say that the want to ‘hashtag believe women,’ apparently not me. People need to realize that.”
“They don’t care about Jewish people,” continued Owens, “They say that they care about antisemitism and that they’re allies with Israel, well — why would you ever make a mockery of what [Jews] lived through by trying to pretend, or create a narrative about me, a black woman, that flew eighteen hours — for the [Jerusalem] embassy opening, that none of them attended?”
Owens then talked about why she believes the fear-mongering perpetrated by the Democrats is a “preview” to the narrative that she expects the Democrat Party will push during the 2020 election.

“This is the Democrat 2020 preview, this is all they’ve got now,” affirmed Owens, “They tried the Russian collusion thing, they tried saying our president was a racist, look what he’s done for black America. What else are they going to do? Drum up more fear. They’re going to take this as far as they can possibly go.”
“We just watched for two years, the entire Russia collusion hoax just fell apart,” stated Owens, “and these guys — they’re changing and looking at a new narrative — white nationalism, white supremacy. I have to say, just looking at them [at Tuesday’s hearing], they just all seemed so pathetic to me.”
Kirk had also noted a moment during the testimony in which Owens spoke about the “all-white” Antifa gang that had harassed Kirk and Owens out of a breakfast establishment in Philadelphia last August, and about how the mainstream media had remained silent on the incident.
“I wanted to show that in this committee,” said Owens, “that there’s this tremendous double standard, and the reason that this double standard exists is because they don’t care about race. Democrats don’t care about black people, we’re just pawns in a game for them to gain political power for themselves.”
Kirk ended the radio interview by expressing his sentiments about what he believes is next for Owens.
“I honestly believe you are a harbinger revolutionary,” said Kirk to Owens, “you are at the beginning stages of what’s going to be one of the greatest political realignments in American history, where black people no longer have to be Democrats — you are breaking this ridiculous backwards leftist programming.”

CO will continue to be ignored by most people because it's clear that she has a negative agenda to peddle towards Democrats. Her rhetoric is helping the Democrats. The response of many black leaders after her testimony says actually that.

No she's being ignored because she has no integrity.

The only reason you support her now -- not because she has a proven record blah blah -- is because in 2017 she jumped ship to the pro-Trump agenda.

Yep, no integrity that was apart of the many posts I added about her lies.

I don't support her.
Did you miss my multiple posts of her lies?

Of course you provide no support for her alleged 'attacks'. But, assuming what you type is true, do not all people have a right, an opportunity to

E V O L V E ? Even, recently evolved conservatives?

I wonder how many Democrats and liberals think this is the problem rather than just "hating on 'Uncle Toms'" as conservatives think.

So context means absolutely nothing to you? You would have no problem with someone taking a portion of what you said, out of a five minute statement, and using it against you? You wouldn't think anyone should ask you about it?

For example, if you ever said something like, 'People unfairly think poorly of the police. Cops are always violent against black people. They plant drugs and bust them. Cops are shady. But those kind of cops represent a small number of police.' You wouldn't have a problem if you were later quoted as saying, 'Cops are always violent against black people. They plant drugs and bust them. Cops are shady.'

Weren't you a cop? Is this something you'd do while on the job?

I agree and I'm not quite sure this happened here. She was off on the idea that most hate crimes aren't tied to white nationalists. Also what I find hilarious is that nobody says boo about my several posts and others that show she was NOT always a Republican and mocked many of the modern day conservatives who champion her.

This person has a lawsuit against her landlord where she alleges she has “an inability to think clearly,” due to a exposure to mold recently. By her own claim she cannot think clearly. Why does her opinion matter then?

I know very little about her, but what she said in her testimony about Democrats I find in general to be spot on through personal experiences being a Conservative with a Democratic family and Democratic friends/acquaintances. I’ve never met a group of people so racists, Lol. I blame left wing media for brainwashing them to hate anyone outside Democratic beliefs. Good thing I’m cool and take everything with a grain of salt. I don’t let politics dictate or influence my life. I don’t mind talking politics online with a bunch of strangers, but it isn’t allowed at home at the dinner table.
