Candace Owens is an opportunistic sociopath. She found her niche as a paid, enthusiastic token for people that openly hate her demographic but want someone to point to to go “nuh-uh” when confronted. I doubt she believes a word she says or writes in this role, as it would mean she openly hates herself, but the fact that she is willing to for prominence and the pay prominence comes with makes her an opportunistic sociopath.
Want fewer opportunistic sociopaths in society? Rebuild our economic framework to stop rewarding and empowering opportunistic sociopaths, and start rewarding pro-social vocations.
Funny how Ben Shapiro was fine with an out-and-out antisemite for so long. She’s done nothing to hide it.
I think it’s gotten more frequent and explicit more recently. At least that’s my impression from news I’ve read, never watched her
Owens is a lot of things, but an antisemite is not one of them.

Meanwhile, Owens began to use her Daily Wire platform to promote antisemitism — claiming this month on her show that “secret Jewish gangs” terrorize Hollywood — and recently favorited a tweet repeating a lie about Jews drinking Christians’ blood.
Bud that’s like antisemitism 101. In case you didn’t know, Jews don’t drink blood or control the world through a secret cabal.
Just because someone makes anti-Israel or anti-Zionism commentary doesn’t mean they aren’t also anti-Semitic.
Good points, I was unaware of both of those controversies. I honestly expected to have seen something as serious as this pop up in my news feeds, but I generally try to avoid hearing about drama around right-wing propagandists.
Owens has lashed out against "political Jews,” accusing them of fueling antisemitism, and supported conspiracy theories that “secret Jewish gangs” are responsible for “horrific acts” against people in Hollywood.
Yeah, I was unaware of the controversies around her. I should have double checked before posting; I rescind my statement.
It takes a real adult to admit they’re wrong on the internet. You did good!
Thanks! We’re all human :)
