The Malevolent Brilliance of Candace Owens

National Review ^ | 11/11/25 | Rich Lowery

[DallasBiff]

Rich Lowery's take, I do think she and Tucker are off their rails.

Discuss.

[cgbg]

I want to see what happens with the Macron lawsuit.

Grab the popcorn.

[Tell It Right]

NR went off the deep end before Candace and Tucker.

[Alberta's Child]

This clown (Owens) seriously expects the police to “do a thorough investigation” of the Kirk shooting after the perp has already been apprehended and charged. Is she working as the defendant’s lawyer? WTF? LOL.

[PGR88]

I used to follow National Review before it turned into outright neocon/deep-state BS

Kinda same with Candace Owens. I don’t have time to follow her theories, or constant feeding and analysis of who is conservative heretic and who is not. Same with Ben Shapiro.

But if our ship sank and my lifeboat could only hold either Candace Owens or Rich Lowery, the fact he and National Review are attacking her, I’d probably pull Candace Owens out of the water.

[sopo]

She’d probably kick you in the butt and boot you overboard for thanks.

[so_real]

National Review? Can't get much more "deep state" on the RINO side than that. If the NR is that invested in discrediting Candace Owens' ... well ... she might well be over the target and taking flak. She and Charlie were very good friends. I trust her to honor Charlie's memory. Being honest with myself, she is exactly the redblooded patriotic type of firebrand I want watching out for me too.

[MayflowerMadam]

Today, the podcast, Chicks On The Right, had a long segment showing how Candace lies so much. They showed an interview where she lied her butt off, then screenshots of texts or emails proving how bad she is.

[packrat35]

Candice is an anti-Semite crackpot. She may have been friends with Charlie but she is doing his memory no favors with her crackpot theories on why he was killed.

[xp38]

I liked Candace when she first became known. She was feisty and had spunk. It turns out Lou Grant was right in her case.

--- "Discuss."

Perhaps I'm an 'odd man out,' but I don't watch any of the stuff any of these talking heads peddle.

But I sure miss Mither Limbaugh....

“...after the perp has already been apprehended and charged.”

It just so happens that the perp apprehended and charged may not have been the assassin.

You know anything about that rifle slug thas supposedly hit Kirk. The attendant doctor said there was no exit wound. That won’t square with a 30.06 caliber. It leaves craters.

[MayflowerMadam]

Right. “You have spunk. I hate spunk.” Classic TV. Chuckles’ funeral was the best.

[Karliner]

Remember when Candace dox’ed people on here website in 2016?

Fast talking but somewhere she’s gone into delusion-land.

[MeanWestTexan]

“g honest with myself, she is exactly the redblooded patriotic type of firebrand I want watching out for me too.”

Yeah, the way she is betraying her “friend” Charlie Kirk by spreading doubts about his killer in order to self-promote is real friendship and loyalty.

She’s a user.

[databoss]

Hopefully malevolent is a 10 letter word for stupid

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

There's too much of this idea that if we disagree with a particular person or source on one issue, that makes everyone else they say worthless as well. But the validity of an argument or position is independent of who came up with it -- Good/smart people sometimes say stupid/wrongheaded stuff, and bad/stupid people occasionally get some things right.

We should spend more time discussing the merits of what someone says rather than who says it.

With that in mind, Lowry has the better of this argument. On this particular issue, Owens is a whackjob.

[algore]

Someone I know sent me some videos of these people even though he knows I don’t watch videos,and I don’t care to hear what other people think.

I had never heard of Kirk, but obviously the Jews did it.

I have heard of Tucker never watched he may be a smart guy, or just maybe gets smart payday?

I have watched TV preachers who just want my cash, but they look as phony as the above

I listened to Rush when I was a kid, I listened to Working Man, 2112 and Moving Pictures many times.

Soon we will have virtual A-heads who will be cheap and always on message. I think it eventually will become like WWF in parliament with the hosts having verbose smack-downs.

Look at the old Farange (pre trump) videos

“She and Charlie were very good friends”

Oh yes, Charlie was friends with a nasty anti-semetic. Where are you getting your into? Wherever it is, run.

[so_real]

Ever been deer hunting? The media and "trusted government officials" are telling us Charlie was shot in the neck with a Mauser 98. That means it was chambered in one of 8mm Mauser, 7.92×57, .30-06, 7×57, or 6.5×55. I'll bet you my next year's income there is not a human neck on this planet that could catch any of those rounds without an exit wound, and a big one at that. Someone is flat out lying to us. Until we know who and why, Owens' theories are as good as anyone's and probably better than most. You can try to bury the story by calling her an anti-semite for questioning the authorities. But that carries about as much weight as calling her racist or sexist. I'd like to see what the autopsy says before throwing labels at people.
