Candace Owens Reaction After New Zealand Massacre Suspect Named Her Biggest Influence- "LOL!"
Wrap ^ | 3/15/19 | John Levine

Posted on 03/15/2019 2:34:59 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

andace Owens, right-wing commentator and Kanye West influencer, was on the defensive Thursday evening after the suspect in the mass killing of 49 people at two New Zealand mosques publicly named her as his biggest influence in a lengthy manifesto.

In several tweets — issued as bodies were still being counted — Owens jeered at critics whom she said were attempting to pin responsibility for the massacre on her.

“LOL! ???? FACT: I’ve never created any content espousing my views on the 2nd Amendment or Islam,” Owens said in response to one now deleted tweet. “The Left pretending I inspired a mosque massacre in…New Zealand because I believe black America can do it without government hand outs is the reachiest reach of all reaches!! LOL!”

“HAHA OMG you racist Leftists are taking your racism and crazy to a whole new level hahah. Black people don’t have to be Democrats” now means…mosque shootings in New Zealand?” she continued. “This clearly won’t stick but damn if I won’t grow #BLEXIT highlighting your sheer desperation. ????????”

So what?

Let’s be frank here. It’s a tragedy.

But her points are valid and do we walk around sobbing for the untold millions that die every day across the world?

She didn’t REVEL in it like left wingers do!!!

I’m sorry. I don’t care that she “LOL”ed. It wasn’t at the deaths.

That is NOT the entire tweet in context..she was laughing at the moron who was blaming her for the shooting. The shooter had absolutely NO idea who Candace Owens is, please, some dude in New Zealand knows Candace Owens, my butt he does..he just googled someone on the right and picked her so he could cause her stupid a@@ race war

The shooter’s mention of Candace Owens in his manifesto is the most bizarre aspect of a bizarre screed. Candace Owens? The only explanation I can think of is that he views black conservatives like Owens as a possible source of racial reconciliation, and thus tries to implicate her - and therefore discredit her and like-minded blacks - in his horrific acts.

A very curious non sequitur, to be sure. A person who had his OWN issues with Muslims, trying to claim “influence” by the Team Trump and its closest adherents in the United States, somehow is “radicalized” and goes all medieval on Muslims in a far reach of the world, really nowhere near the United States.

The linkages that are attempted, sometimes within moments of the event, that supposedly tie the world-wide phenomena of hatred and resistance to the spread and pernicious effects of Islam, to Team Trump ONLY, and to no other cause whatsoever, re preposterous in the extreme and feed from a never-Trumper emotion that has no place among rational people.

But then, the world, for the most part, is not a rational place.

Right again!

And I won’t hold my breath.

This guy didn’t even like Trump’s policies.

He just made up in his head that Trump was a white supremacist. To dems, anyone who isn’t embarrassed about being white is a supremacist.

I get where she’s coming from, and, of course it’s absurd to tie her to this. However, the optics using of Lol, omg, haha in the context of this incident aren’t the best. No one is “laughing out loud.” She should have shown more restraint & sobriety in her response.

I’m guessing muslims use a lot worse things than LOL when Christians die.

Not all of course. And we are better than that.

But I won’t skip dinner or lose sleep over this.

She has fire and guts as the GOP is spineless and gutless.

Glad to see Candace is staying strong. Not that I had my doubts, but she was hurt by Kanye’s spineless betrayal. But she is a true conservative woman. You go girl. Happy belated International Women’s Day!

41,000,000+ babies were murdered last year before they took their first breath, most of them because they were "inconvenient". Though the Facebook Massacre is indeed a tragedy, and my heart goes out to the families, it is not remotely on the same scale. I'll cry for the children first.

GUN CONTROL KILLED 50 people at Mosque.

Nobody shot back, why not?
Where are the Defense Rifles?

Those who banned Defense Rifles should be in prison.

Yeah I understand, but she is not a politician, she’s just a regular person being drawn into something that had nothing to do with her
