The Rise of Candace Owens
Before diving into the details of their split, let’s backtrack a bit. Candace Owens, a name synonymous with controversy and conservative commentary, carved out a unique space for herself in politics. Her far-right commentary often walked the line between conservative and contrarian.
She became popular for harsh criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement, and often blaming victims like George Floyd for their own death. She also railed against vaccines during the onset of the pandemic and more.
On YouTube, she interviewed former presidents and shared views with Kanye West. Owens grew her platform as an influencer that even outlets such as NBC News legitimized.
Known for her sharp critiques of the Democratic Party and her ability to generate viral moments, Owens has been a vocal advocate for what she calls the true values of conservatism.
