Here you go @shootersa this is a third world, Banana Republic, shit hole country where the mentally ill dictator corrupts the government for his own personal political gain and uses the government to go after his political enemies. Not even Richard Nixon could drag the United States of America down to this level of a shit hole country because unlike the treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans we have today conservator/Republicans of 50 years ago chose country over party and forced Nixon to resign when he was caught trying to use the government to go after his political enemies. Nixon looked like a choir boy compared to Traitor Trump that not only used the government to go after his political enemies but also attempted the first coup in American History and staged an armed violent deadly insurrection to try and remain in power.

And you and all Trump supporters aided and abetted dragging the United States of America down to the level of a third world, Banana Republic, shit hole country run by a mentally ill tin horn dictator by constantly supporting defending covering up and lying for Trump no matter what he did. Pledging all your loyalty and allegiance to just one man that is without doubt the most mentally ill, stupid and ignorant, incompetent, corrupt, and deadly president ever elected. You defiled the Constitution and every great thing the United States of America has ever stood for for Traitor Trump and continue to defend him, make up excuses for him, and still support him to this day. Never once putting country over party.

And remember the odds are 1 in 82 million that McCabe and Comey were both picked for the most intrusive IRS audits. And the odds of winning the Texas Powerball lottery are only 1 in 25 million..




Trump Wanted IRS Investigations of Foes, Top Aide Says

While in office, President Donald Trump repeatedly told John F. Kelly, his second White House chief of staff, that he wanted a number of his perceived political enemies to be investigated by the IRS, Kelly said.

Kelly, who was chief of staff from July 2017 through the end of 2018, said in response to questions from The New York Times that Trump’s demands were part of a broader pattern of him trying to use the Justice Department and his authority as president against people who had been critical of him, including seeking to revoke the security clearances of former top intelligence officials.

Kelly said that among those Trump said “we ought to investigate” and “get the IRS on” were former FBI Director James B. Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe. His account of Trump’s desires to use the IRS against his foes comes after the revelation by the Times this summer that Comey and McCabe had both been selected for a rare and highly intrusive audit by the tax agency in the years after Kelly left the White House.





Trump has said he knows nothing about the audits. The IRS has asked its inspector general to investigate, and officials have insisted the two men were selected randomly for the audits.

Kelly said he made clear to Trump that there were serious legal and ethical issues with what he wanted. He said that despite the president’s expressed desires to have Comey and McCabe investigated by the IRS, he believes that he led Trump during his tenure as chief of staff to forgo trying to have such investigations conducted.

After Kelly left the administration, Comey was informed in 2019 that his 2017 returns were being audited, and McCabe learned in 2021 that his 2019 returns were being audited. At the time both audits occurred, the IRS was led by a Trump political appointee.

Trump regularly made his demands in response to news reports in which he thought his perceived enemies made him look bad. The president would carry on about having them investigated to the point that Kelly thought he needed to tell the president that what he wanted was highly problematic, explaining, in sometimes heated conversations, that what Trump wanted was not just potentially illegal and immoral but also could blow back on him.

Trump would eventually let the idea go, Kelly said, but during subsequent outbursts about his enemies he would again bring up his desires to have them investigated.

Throughout Trump’s presidency he regularly, in both public and private, ranted about Comey, whom Trump had fired in May 2017, and McCabe, who played a leading role in the investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.

Kelly said that along with Comey and McCabe, Trump discussed using the IRS and the Justice Department to investigate former CIA Director John O. Brennan; Hillary Rodham Clinton; Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and the owner of The Washington Post, whose coverage often angered Trump; Peter Strzok, the lead FBI agent on the Russia investigation; and Lisa Page, an FBI official who exchanged text messages with Strzok that were critical of Trump.

“The U.S. government, whether it’s the IRS or the Justice Department, should never be weaponized or used to retaliate, and certainly not because someone criticizes you in the press or is your political opponent,” Kelly said in response to questions. “The average federal employee or FBI agent or IRS agent goes to work and executes the laws and regulations and shouldn’t be put in this position.”

A spokesperson for Trump denied that the former president had ever discussed using the IRS.

“It’s total fiction created by a psycho, John Kelly, who never said this before, and made it up just because he’s become so irrelevant,” said the spokesperson, Liz Harrington.

Kelly, who also served as Trump’s first homeland security secretary, was Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, a role in which he brought a semblance of order to an often chaotic West Wing. Unlike many former top Trump administration officials, Kelly has said little publicly since Trump left office and not written a book.

But in response to repeated questions over months, Kelly said he chose to respond now because Trump had publicly claimed last week that he had used the Justice Department and the FBI to help Gov. Ron DeSantis win election in Florida in 2018. Kelly, who was Trump’s chief of staff at the time, said Trump never made such a request. If he had, Kelly said, it would have been an improper use of the Justice Department and the FBI.

Kelly’s statements are among the most damning from a former high-ranking official about Trump’s efforts to use federal power to his own ends, and come just days before Trump is scheduled to announce another presidential campaign.

His account of some of Trump’s requests, including his effort to use the Justice Department against his enemies and to remove security clearances for former officials, has been corroborated by other public disclosures and former Trump aides.

Kelly said that after he initially started working for Trump as his chief of staff in July 2017, he was surprised that Trump actually thought he would follow through on what the president wanted.

“He initially thought I would do it,” Kelly said. “He thought I would be loyal and obedient to him. I told him we were loyal to our oath to the Constitution.”

Kelly said Trump had no appreciation for that concept and continued to push him and others to do what he wanted.

“If he told you to slit someone’s throat, he thought you would go out and do it,” Kelly said.

Kelly said he would tell Trump why using the powers of the federal government for his political ends was morally and legally problematic.

“I would say, ‘It’s inappropriate, it’s illegal, it’s against their integrity and the IRS knows what it’s doing and it’s not a good idea,’” Kelly said he told Trump.

“Yeah, but they’re writing bad things about me,” Kelly said Trump told him.

Among other steps sought by Trump, Kelly said, was the revocation of security clearances for officials from the George W. Bush and Obama administrations who had gone on to be critical of Trump on television. Among them were Brennan; James R. Clapper Jr., the former director of national intelligence; Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency; and retired Adm. William H. McRaven, the former head of the Special Operations Command.

“I don’t want them making money,” Kelly said Trump told him.

Kelly said that during his tenure, the officials’ security clearances remained intact.

In refuting the claim by Trump that he had used the Justice Department and the FBI to help DeSantis when he faced a potential recount in 2018, Kelly said no such request had been made to the Justice Department or the FBI. In fact, Kelly said, Trump was growing increasingly disillusioned with DeSantis at the time. That fall, DeSantis had distanced himself from Trump’s public claim that Democrats inflated the death toll in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria.

“He was insufficiently impressed with DeSantis’ loyalty to him,” Kelly said.

Trump never made any secret of his belief that he could use his government powers to his political ends, frequently saying in public that the Justice Department should investigate his enemies and that the former intelligence officials should not have clearances. Congressional and Justice Department investigations, news media accounts and books about the Trump presidency have also shown that Trump tried behind closed doors to use the powers of the Justice Department against his enemies.

But far less is known about how he tried to weaponize the IRS.

Trump was familiar with how IRS audits functioned. In the closing year of his presidency, he remained engaged in a decadelong audit battle with the agency over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. (The current status of the audit is not publicly known.)

It is against federal law for executive branch employees — including the president, the vice president or any other White House official — “to request, directly or indirectly” that anyone at the IRS conduct an investigation or audit of any taxpayer.

The Times reported in July that between 2019 and 2021, when the IRS was being led by Trump’s appointee, Comey and McCabe were subjected to the same type of rare audit that is so invasive it is known among tax lawyers as “an autopsy without the benefit of death.”

IRS officials have insisted that the men were randomly picked for the audit and that there were no political motivations behind how they were chosen. Out of the 153 million returns filed for the year Comey was audited, only 5,000 tax returns were targeted for the audit. For the year McCabe was audited, 154 million people filed returns and 8,000 were selected for the audit.

Kelly said that Trump was particularly “obsessed” with McCabe’s wife, Jill, who had run for Virginia’s state assembly around the time the FBI was investigating Clinton’s use of a personal email account. Trump has repeatedly made the false claim that Jill McCabe, a Democrat, received money for her campaign directly from the Clintons.

“That was proof McCabe hated him,” Kelly said.

Trump regularly attacked Comey and Andrew McCabe in public when he was president. He called Comey a “dirty cop” who “should be tried for treason” and “should be arrested on the spot!” He also accused McCabe of treason.

By the end of the Trump administration, the Justice Department and its inspector general had investigated the conduct of Comey, McCabe, Strzok and Page in a range of matters, but they were never charged with any crimes.

A year before McCabe’s audit began, Trump raised public doubts about McCabe’s finances.

“Was Andy McCabe ever forced to pay back the $700,000 illegally given to him and his wife, for his wife’s political campaign, by Crooked Hillary Clinton while Hillary was under FBI investigation, and McCabe was the head of the FBI??? Just askin’?” Trump tweeted in September 2020.

@stumbler
So long as you insist on calling America a "shithole country" and a "banana republic" because you so hate Trump and his supporters Shooter will insist that you are undeserving of calling your self a "patriotic American".

Your obsession with Shooter and your stalkerish behavior is frankly creepy.
You might try to get some help for that.

 

stumbler dislikes me because of my racism.

He does not give me credit for the high quality of my racism.

I like stumbler, though.

 

Unrequited love.
So tragic

 

I do not love stumbler; I like him. His occasional insults do hurt my feelings.

It was mean of him not to thank me for the appreciation thread I started for him.

 

That's what I can't understand your own seeming dislike of Trump. Trump was every repuke's wet dream. I can post volumes of youtube videos that show how much Trump energized white nationalist groups. I won't post them as I might get in trouble with the admin. But I can see now why you like Desantis.

 

Yeah but I wonder how much Owns managed to rake in before the fall?


Candace Owens-Endorsed "Anti-Woke" Bank Dies A Hilarious Death

Keith Reed
Tue, November 22, 2022 at 12:53 PM



Right wing commentator Candace Owens was listed as a co-founder and endorse GloriFi, a fintech company that failed spectacularly after launching only in September.

El Em Ay Oh.

Rarely would I take the occasion of a business’s failure to dunk on the entrepreneurs behind the idea. I started my career, after all, as a business reporter, spending days chronicling the success and failure of their ideas, which tend to be tied to the well-being of their families. Likewise, a number of my friends are entrepreneurs who will tell you on any given day how hard it is out here when you put your own cash, time and passion into trying to make a business work. I respect that hustle more than any other, but just not on tuh-day.

Today, I can’t think of a better reason for a hysterical laugh than the failure of a Candace Owens-backed startup called “GloriFi”, which was marketed like a “bank” but in the fine print actually said that was “a financial technology company, not a bank.” GloriFi promised checking and savings accounts and debit cards for conservatives, whose money, I suppose, spends differently than everybody else’s, because: ‘Murica. The company raised millions in startup capital from billionaire right-winger Peter Thiel and others before it went live in September.

The problem is that GloriFi was so concerned with pushing a culture-wars narrative that it forgot that banks in startup mode are supposed to be focused primarily on one thing: offering attractive rates on deposits to bring in new customer accounts and to be able to expand to more products like car loans and mortgages. Instead, GloriFi, was too focused on convincing potential customers that by doing business there, they’d be owning the libs. Rolling Stone reported on the company’s insane pre-launch marketing this way:

Pitching itself as a financial institution that allowed one to be “free to celebrate your love of God and country without fear of cancellation,” GloriFi’s marketing read more like a campaign ad than an enticing APR offer on a new credit card. Highlights from the “about us” page include: “OUR BILL OF RIGHTS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE” and “WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”

In its short tenure GloriFi, managed to launch checking and savings accounts as well as credit cards, with plans to offer mortgages and insurance in a future that will no longer take place. Founder and CEO Toby Neugebauer pitched plans to offer gun owners discounts on home insurance, credit cards made of shell casing material, and assistance paying legal bills if customers shot someone in self-defense.

Not exactly a solid pitch for consumer financial services when inflation and interest rate hikes are in full effect. In the end, GloriFi’s pitch to customers was as ineffective and overblown as the campaigns Republicans expected to carry them to a red wave in the midterms. In politics, the right bet that voters would ignore its lack of a plan to tackle inflation or crime, the fact that it wants to ban abortion, undo Affirmative Action and kill student loan forgiveness in favor or rehashed arguments about the 2020 election. In the banking business, right wing investors thought consumers would ignore a fundamentally flawed business plan and some horrific tales about GloriFi’s management team as long as the company whispered sweet nothings about God and guns and fReEdUmB!

People saw right through and rejected both grifts.

GloriFi’s public web site is now just one page, filled with the salty tears of grievance and instructions for how its few customers can retrieve whatever funds they had in their accounts.

Maybe they can take those deposits and buy more guns as Christmas gifts.

Kanye West ends plans to buy right-wing social network Parler: report

Matthew Chapman
December 01, 2022



Winner for Album Of The Year, Beck (in background), reacts as Kanye West leaves the stage during the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, in Los Angeles, February 8, 2015 (AFP)


On Thursday, Axios reported that right-wing social network Parler announced it would no longer be acquired by rapper Kanye "Ye" West.

"Parler announced Thursday it reached a mutual agreement with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to terminate the sale of the social media app," reported Dan Primack and Sara Fischer. "The deal already was on life support, as Axios previously reported, and it's unclear if a formal merger agreement was ever signed. Parler originally said it had an agreement 'in principle,' and today referred to it as 'intent of sale.'"

"In a statement, Parler's parent company said: 'This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November. Parler will continue to pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community,'" said the report. "A source familiar with the situation said that Ye's precarious financial situation — including the loss of his Adidas deal — played a role in the deal collapse."

Parler, which initially saw a surge in user interest when it launched as an alternative to Twitter for conservatives who believe that website is "censoring" them, has been struggling financially. The network is best known for spreading a font of disinformation during the January 6 attack.

Actual studies have shown that Twitter was never actually censoring conservatives.

Ye, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump who has been toying with the idea of a run for president in 2024, has caused a firestorm of criticism with his increasingly anti-Semitic statements, including pushing the "Black Hebrew Israelite" conspiracy theory stating the original tribes of Israel were Black Africans and modern Jews are imposters. This week, he escalated things further with an appearance on the extremist InfoWars show, where he professed admiration for Adolf Hitler.

Shooter came across this and immediately recalled Stumbler's (again) page long rambling "shithole country" "banana republic" "third world" rant. You know, where Stumbler arrogantly proclaimed that "mentally ill dictator corrupts the government for his own personal political gain" bullshit.

Now, at the time Stumbler puked this hairball rant onto the forum, Shooter was reminded of the IRS scandal when Obama ruled, you recall, where the IRS targeted conservative non profits and Lois Lerner basically gave Congress the finger and refused to answer any questions, but then we been over that bit and Shooter just wasn't in the mood to yank stumbler's tail just then. Shooter was in a pleasant mood and unwilling to spoil it.

Well, lets see how Stumbler explains this interesting turn of events. Oh, Shooter already knows what it all was about (get trump, no matter what) and what stumbler will do with this (ignore, deny, divert or attack), but fuck it. Lets have some fun, shall we?​

Watchdog finds no wrongdoing in Comey and McCabe getting picked for audits | Washington Examiner

Watchdog finds no wrongdoing in Comey and McCabe getting picked for audits
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter |
December 01, 2022 03:10 PM
A Treasury Department watchdog “did not identify misconduct” during its investigation of fired FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe both being selected for a random audit by the IRS.

It was revealed in July that Comey was informed in 2019 he had been picked to have his 2017 tax returns examined by the IRS, according to the New York Times, while McCabe was informed in 2021, when former President Donald Trump was already out of office, that his 2019 returns would be scrutinized by the federal agency.

The fact that two high-profile former FBI officials whom Trump openly disdained had been audited raised allegations that they had been unfairly targeted by the IRS, which prompted the watchdog review.

The Treasury Department inspector general for tax administration found no evidence to back these claims of wrongdoing or political weaponization, concluding the selection was random.

“At the request of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and representatives from Congress, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration initiated this review to determine if the IRS randomly selected individual tax returns for tax years 2017 and 2019 National Research Program audits,” the watchdog said Thursday.

The watchdog said for 2017 and 2019, the IRS’s Research Applied Analytics and Statistics organization “selected samples of more than 10,900 tax returns” for these audits and that “our assessment of the original sample selection process concluded that the IRS randomly selected tax years 2017 and 2019 tax returns” for the audits.

The inspector general also said IRS computer programs “categorized returns in the correct strata” and “correctly selected tax returns for audit,” and the computer systems “did not include malicious code that would force the selection of taxpayers” for an audit.

The watchdog further said IRS officials and an outside contractor “performed a return-by-return comparison between the replicated files and the original sample selection files to verify the files matched” and that “they concluded that the tax returns in the original samples were the same tax returns selected when the process was replicated.”

Comey and his wife, Patrice, were found to have overpaid their 2017 federal income taxes and received a $347 refund, according to the report. McCabe told the publication that he and his wife, Jill, ended up paying the federal government a small amount of money they owed and said he believed the audit has been concluded. The Comeys paid roughly $5,000 in accountant fees and gave the IRS financial documents as well as a Christmas card to show they had children claimed as dependents, the report noted.

Asked by the New York Times to respond to the news of the audits this summer, a Trump spokesperson said, "I have no knowledge of this."

IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, selected by Trump and kept on by President Joe Biden, rejected being involved in the Comey-McCabe audits.

“Commissioner Rettig is not involved in individual audits or taxpayer cases; those are handled by career civil servants,” the IRS said in a statement. “As I.R.S. commissioner, he has never been in contact with the White House — in either administration — on IRS enforcement or individual taxpayer matters. He has been committed to running the IRS in an impartial, unbiased manner from top to bottom."

These IRS National Research Program audits pick taxpayers via a statistical software program that "does not entail employees manually selecting individuals for examination," the agency said earlier this year.

“Federal privacy laws preclude us from discussing specific taxpayer situations,” the IRS said. “Audits are handled by career civil servants, and the IRS has strong safeguards in place to protect the exam process — and against politically motivated audits,” the statement continued. “It’s ludicrous and untrue to suggest that senior IRS officials somehow targeted specific individuals for National Research Program audits.”

Comey and McCabe both suggested they had been targeted politically.

"I don’t know whether anything improper happened, but after learning how unusual this audit was and how badly Trump wanted to hurt me during that time, it made sense to try to figure it out," Comey said this summer. "Maybe it’s a coincidence or maybe somebody misused the IRS to get at a political enemy."

 

Candace Owens calls for discrimination against trans, nonbinary people: ‘Society would be safer if we discriminated more’

Candace Owens said that she “definitely” discriminates against certain people and suggested “society would be safer” if more people did the same. On Monday, the right-wing commentator began her podcast defending her right to discriminate against transgender and nonbinary people. “I discriminate! I feel like I want to get that off my chest,” the Daily Wire host said at the start of episode 58 of the Candace Owens Podcast. “I’m already feeling lighter,” she added after her initial statement. Owens went on to blame the left for turning terms such as “discrimination” into a “dirty word” — which is...

No the last thing I am is worried about her. I've seen con artists with pretty faces my whole life. But Candace is not a very bright of one. And I like to point out the the ones who think she's great or better yet should be president.

'New low': Candace Owens shredded for documentary claiming George Floyd wasn't murdered

Matthew Chapman
December 20, 2022



Candace Owens


On Tuesday, writing for Mother Jones, left-wing writer Eamon Whalen criticized far-right activist Candace Owens' documentary "The Greatest Lie Ever Sold," which purports to expose that George Floyd was never really murdered and died of a fentanyl overdose instead.

The documentary making this claim was produced by the Daily Wire, the outlet of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who has also produced the film "What Is A Woman?" and has been trying to create a right-wing version of Hollywood that boosts Republican cultural causes.

"We hear from Ron Martinelli, a forensic criminologist who tells us that Floyd’s true cause of death was a drug overdose, not asphyxiation. This goes against what pulmonologist Dr. Martin Tobin painstakingly narrated during Chauvin’s trial, when he pinpointed the precise moment of Floyd’s death," wrote Whalen. "Martinelli, like just about every talking head in the film, is presented as a straight shooter with 'no dog in this fight,' he says. Ignore the anti-Black Lives Matter book he published in 2016; forget that he told NPR at the time that BLM is 'a black nationalist revolutionary Marxist movement that is tied into a much larger international movement referred to as One World One Struggle.'"

"Owens did see a sympathetic figure in all of this: Derek Chauvin," wrote Whalen. "She speaks with Chauvin’s mother on the phone off-camera and pleads with her to participate in the film. She declines, but Owens tells us she 'felt her pain.' She speaks with retired Minneapolis police Sergeant Joey Sandberg. He describes Chauvin as levelheaded and quirky. She talks to retired Lieutenant Kim Voss, who explains that Chauvin did not have a racist bone in his body. This ignores almost everything we know about who Chauvin was. In 2017, Chauvin struck a 14-year-old boy in the head with a flashlight two times. Chauvin knelt on his back for 17 minutes as the boy’s ears began to bleed. During the trial, prosecutors on Chauvin’s case attempted to introduce seven other incidents where Chauvin held someone in a prone position or used a neck restraint for an unreasonably excessive amount of time."

According to the report, Owens also goes after the Black Lives Matter Global Network, a nonprofit group whose leaders have come under criticism for alleged personal use of activist money — but that isn't even the main focus of her ire: "As she goes through their tax forms with a fine-toothed comb, Owens is much less focused on the substantive criticisms leveled at BLM Global Network by other BLM chapters and parents of the movement’s martyrs like Michael Brown Sr. or Samaria Rice. She reserves her outrage for the revelation that trans-rights organizations received donation money from the BLM Global Network."

"What seems to eat at Owens the most is that so many people across the country had compassion," wrote Whalen. "She genuinely can’t believe that so many took to the streets on behalf of a flawed human being, a stranger. This solidarity — fighting for someone you don’t know — seems foreign to her. It can only be explained by manipulation."

Disabled people creep me out. Its sickening to see them. Especially if they are pretending to be normal like the rest of US. We need to get back to discriminating against them and get them back in the shadows where they belong. And Black women too if they are going to refuse to act White. Get them out of my sight.

Christina Applegate slams Candace Owens' 'f---ing gross' criticism of wheelchair model in underwear ad

Christina Applegate slams Candace Owens' 'f---ing gross' criticism of wheelchair model in underwear ad

Dead to Me actress Christina Applegate has spoken out against conservative pundit Candace Owens' resurfaced criticism of Kim Kardashian's SKIMS clothing line after the brand included a model in a wheelchair in a 2022 ad campaign touting products adapted for people with disabilities.

After a clip from Owens' Daily Wire talk series made the rounds on social media earlier this week, Applegate — who announced her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 — hit back at the commentator's words.

"Yes late tweet. But woke to see the most horrifying thing. This Candace person making comments about companies who see we need help. It's f---ing gross," she tweeted.

She continued, "Candace Owens, do you know when you have seen pictures of me how f---ing hard it was to get my clothes on? A team has to help me!!! So I'm excited for accessibility clothing for me and my community."

After sending the first two messages, Applegate followed up with another message. "If Candace wants to get on the phone with me to be educated on being disabled. I will not come with anger. I will come with love. Because she needs to hear that. I pray for her tonight."

Owens called SKIMS' Adaptive campaign an example of societal "ridiculousness" when it comes to inclusion of different body types.

"I don't really understand how far we're going to take this inclusivity thing. I really don't get it. I don't know. If I'm wrong, again, educate me, today, I just want to be educated in the comments," she said in the clip below. "Why did they do this? I don't know, I don't know why this needs to be done. I'm getting tired of this all-inclusivity thing."


The model in the campaign Owens spoke out against, Haleigh Rosa, recently told Forbes how she felt about the conservative personality's sentiment.

"After getting injured I remember not seeing anyone like me in campaigns. At the same time, I was relearning simple tasks like clothing myself. It would have been so helpful to see someone in a wheelchair; I'm so happy that we're finally coming around. Seeing someone like you matters; representation matters," she told the publication. "It's so often assumed that the disability community should be felt bad for. The people I know that have disabilities are some of the most resilient people. Wheelchair users will not agree with [Owens'] views. If [Owens] truly wants to educate herself, she can reach out to me. I'm not one for cancel culture; I believe in the power of education. I'd love to have a conversation and educate Candace."

In a follow-up video shared Wednesday, Owens — who also came under fire in 2022 for wearing a "White Lives Matter" shirt alongside Kanye West at a fashion show — addressed blowback over her earlier comments.

"Let's debunk the idea that I'm an ableist. I thought that was really, really interesting, that I somehow wanted to pursue disabled people and I somehow wanted them out of spaces. That is absolute nonsense," she said. "I've spent my entire life fighting the idea that, in order for me to feel like I'm allowed to be Black or that I'm allowed to be a woman, I need to therefore see Black women everywhere. That is the opposite of what it means to actually have confidence. I don't need to see Tyra Banks being a model. I don't need to see Tyra Banks wearing underwear."

EW has reached out to a representative for Owens for additional comment.


https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/christina-applegate-slams-candace-owens-150756405.html

 

Owens hasn't even offered a hint that she might run for office.
You should concentrate on Trump.
He wants to be president again.
Can't let that happen.

Owens isn't the issue. Try to focus. Go find more Trump propaganda.

 

I make it a practice to keep track of phony lying opportunistic treasonous conservative/America Hating.Republican con artists to keep exposing them.

You are the one who said Owens should run for president.
