Candace Owens is a political activist who has publicly defended the likes of Donald Trump and Kanye West. The conservative commentator regularly finds herself in hot water after going head-to-head with celebrities on Twitter and voicing her ultra conservative opinions. She has argued before Congress that white nationalism is not an issue facing Black Americans, and has come under fire for defending German dictator Adolf Hitler. Most recently she criticized Cardi B following her interview with Democrat Joe Biden for Elle magazine. “[The interview] is one of the biggest insults…This would be akin to Donald Trump saying, ‘I’m going to give no interviews’ but he decided to give an interview to Justin Bieber,” she said. Candace even went before congress in September 2019 to argue that white nationalism was not a major issue in the US. “White supremacy is indeed real, but despite the media’s obsessive coverage of it, it represents an isolated, uncoordinated and fringe occurrence within America,” she told lawmakers. Here are 5 things to know about the conservative pundit.
