Trump sometimes does make facepalm-type comments that lead people to think he's "vengeful, paranoid, lacks humility." So what's new?
That more "traditional conservative" Republicans are doing that. Surely though she will be derided for being a RINO now. Me I deride Owens for being an idiot.

I can recall several threads and posts here on the forum singing her praises. She had quite a following among the MAGA types.
as noted, you thought wrong...

from wiki, not generally thought of as "Republican-friendly":

Quote:
In 2015, Owens was CEO of Degree180, a marketing agency that offered consultation, production, and planning services.[1][6] The website included a blog, written by Owens, which frequently posted anti-conservative and anti-Trump content, including mockery of his penis size.[6][27] In a 2015 column that Owens wrote for the site, she criticized conservative Republicans, writing about the "bat-****-crazy antics of the Republican Tea Party," adding, "The good news is, they will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope), and then we can get right on with the OBVIOUS social change that needs to happen, IMMEDIATELY."
CD forums have a decent search feature. You're free to look for threads with "Candace" in the title and link them to support your recollection.

Again, I can't believe that needs to be said.

Why don't you post some examples of these threads?
The problem is many conflate that anyone against Trump is in fact a RINO. That was the genesis of this post. Candace Owens finally woke her stupid ass up and realized how bad Trump was after being one of his biggest bootlickers the last six years. I guarantee you, many on here will vilify her for it. I will just continue to vilify her for being an idiot and being in favor of doxing people.

I don’t know if she’ll be vilified here, I think we are in for several “Candace who? Never heard of her” posts

go ahead and link them. Even better, run a poll but make it public that way you can see which MAGATrump CD'ers proclaim all non-MAGATrump's who declare themselves Republicans are really all RINO's.

There are, or were, a few of them. Not the majority, nor more particularly the majority of Republicans

When Mr. Trump rose in 2015, she was astute enough to see the tide. Hence she became a Trump supporter.

The tide has turned, and so has she.
proven false above, counselor.

Plausible deniability perhaps?

I don't get how not liking Trump disqualifies you as a Pub?

Have people lost all sense of nuance?

Being a pub or Dem should be about what policies you root for,.not 'who' you like or share the same skin color with.

I don't see him mention Owens, but there was some other woman who dared speak less than effusively about Trump and Kari Lake.
