Candace Owens' brutal takedown of University of Albany students who say her mere presence on campus makes trans students feel victimized
Daily Mail ^ | 10/07/23 | James Gordon

Conservative commentator Candace Owens, who was suspended from YouTube last month for hate speech against the LGBTQ community, had dished out some blunt advice to students at a university in upstate New York.

Speaking during the Turning Point USA Live Free Tour in Albany, a pregnant Owens addressed concerns that her very presence had made transgender students feel vulnerable.

During a Q&A session, a student asked Owens, 'What do you have to say to the trans students on this campus who feel actively victimized by your presence here?'

Owens swiftly replied, 'Life's tough, get a helmet, man, I'm too pregnant for this.'

Some students in the audience cheered her response, while others seemed to react with silence and disbelief. Owens' comment has also drawn praise on social media sites.

Turning Point USA is a nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school and college campuses.

Owens appeared to be proud of her response, later sharing the video clip on exchange on social media.

'I am over 8 months pregnant with two toddlers at home. If you are a 20-year-old adult who feels 'actively victimized' by my standing on stage to speak about social and economic conservatism, it is because your parents failed you, entirely. It is not my job to coddle adults,' she wrote.

So far, the clip has received almost 12 million views.

IOW, the presence of a black woman who refuses to be Dhimmicrap property is a threat to them.

it is because your parents failed you, entirely

The ultimate extension of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. When, for your entire life, your every want and need has been provided to you by your parents and by the nanny state, all that is left to motivate you are fantasies and delusions.

Compare and contrast the current generation of over 20 year old children with this earlier generation of college age men heading to the beach in search of their safe space, not at all concerned with micro-aggressions.

“’What do you have to say to the trans students on this campus who feel actively victimized by your presence here?’”

According to woke leftists, speech is violence.

And of course, silence is violence, so they want to have it both ways.
