Candace Owens Mocked On Twitter After Epic Snub by the RNC

When the Republican Party released its list of speakers at their 2020 National Convention, one high-profile name was suspiciously missing: Candace Owens.

The list included such conservative stars as Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kim Klacik, Diamond and Silk, Charlie Kirk, Scott Baio, and Alice Marie Johnson.

But Owens, who has arguably done more to lead Blacks off the Democrat plantation, was not on the list.

Many wondered if Owens and the Republican Party split because they thought she was too outspoken about George Floyd.

One follower commented: "@realCandaceOwens didn't make the grade even after spending the last 4 yrs. kissing @realDonaldTrump's fat ass. How sad is that?"

Caleb Hull, a Republican pro-Trump strategist in Washington, D.C., apologized Wednesday for posting offensive racist messages on social media.

Conservative activist Candace Owens, who has been accused of being anti-Black, shared her fellow Trump supporter's offensive tweets on her Twitter account, writing, "I'm waiting for literally any Republican or conservative to try to defend @CalebJHull’s tweets..."

According to Mediaite.com, Hull is known for his pro-Trump posts on social media, and "his relentless targeting of Trump critics online."

In posts dating back to 2014, Hull expressed racist views on Twitter.com. Not surprisingly, his offensive posts were not flagged or taken down by Twitter.

In one tweet, he wrote: "I need to increase my arsenal of offensive pictures... I'm out. Every N*ggas Dream."

In a tweet on July 1, Hull wrote a lengthy apology for his tweets, which he says were made when he was just a teenager.

"For a long time, I have been extremely ashamed and embarrassed that I could have ever written such vile things," he wrote. "...to atone for my behavior, I've shared these experiences with those closest to me and asked for forgiveness."

But Owens says Hull is not remorseful for his racist past. "And yes, it is known that he routinely says n*gger all the time— it is not a thing of the past. He is a racist today."

fanMAIL: Candace Owens’ Loyal Followers Want You to Know…

Photo may have been deleted

A few readers were very upset with my article titled "Candace Owens in 'advanced' talks with Joe Biden to join ticket."

Candace's loyal followers were offended by my description of her as "anti-Black," in my post.

Candace may not be anti-Black, but her words and actions are offensive to Black people. She is especially hateful towards Black men who are murdered by white police officers.

White people can no wrong in Candace's eyes. Every instance of a white officer killing a Black man is justified as far as she's concerned.

She pulls up criminal records to justify a cop killing, because cops playing judge, jury and executioner seems to be fine with her.

I could post Owens' history, and how she flipped from being pro-Black to anti-Black because there is more money to be made by race baiting and pandering to racists, but I won't go there.

To Liar in Charge:

Candace Owens is not AntiBlack. To say it is a lie. Action speaks louder than words. I went to Blexit in my hometown. I heard her & others speak. I have followed her a long time listening.

She is on a mission to empower & strengthen the black community & unite Americans of all colors. Equality for all is what she seeks. Keep lying hell is not full yet.

When I responded, referring to Sunny as Candace Owens, Sunny replied:

I am not Candace Owens. I am her American Patriot Sister. I read your lie about her & sent you the email. You are blind to your racism & know nothing about Candace.

Her Grandfather still owns the land their Ancestor bought from his former Slave Master in Fayetteville NC. Her family has always known the struggle. I myself know the struggles we had & experienced during Jim Crowe ERA no minority escaped persecution.

We need people to see what is happening & take responsibility for it & change for the better. Being Blind in the eyes makes your other senses sharper to where you can get the full picture without visually seeing it. Racism needs to die. Do not add to it.

To whom it may concern:

After reading one of your articles it is obvious to me that you yourself are racist.  How dare you refer to Ms. Owens as anti-black!! The problem with the world today is that when someone feels differently about things than they do they are so quick to refer to them as a racist.  I have listened to some of her debates and she seems very concerned for the black community.

Also after going to you website and looking at the stories that you have written they are all about black people, except for the ones that mention negative things such as "white police officers shooting black people".  Why not use your influence to unite us?  There are so many good things going on in our country as well, why focus on the bad?

Candace Owens in “advanced” talks with Joe Biden to join ticket

Photo may have been deleted

Apparently, Joe Biden is considering controversial conservative commentator Candace Owens for Vice President.

Owens stunned her followers when she made the announcement Friday that she was in talks with Biden's team.

"I can confirm I am in advanced conversations with the Biden team," Owens tweeted in response to a tweet on Friday.

Owens retweeted standup comic Tim Dillon, who wrote, "If Biden picks @RealCandaceO it would be wild. She would destroy Pence."

Biden previously vowed h would pick a woman as his running mate on the presidential ticket.

There is mounting pressure on Biden to pick a Black woman as his vice president.

Last week: Biden reportedly narrowed his choices down to six women -- Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California, Susan Rice, who served as former President Obama's national security adviser, Florida Rep. Val Demings, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Latina.

Question: Would you vote for Joe Biden if he picked Candace Owens as his running mate?

Candace Owens raising funds for fired Atlanta officer who shot Rayshard Brooks; Calls for Atlanta mayor to be fired and police chief reinstated

Photo may have been deleted

Candace Owens angered many when she defended the actions of an Atlanta police officer who shot a Black man in the back, killing him.

The anti-black, pro-Trump conservative activist trolled her followers by stating she is raising funds to support the white officer who gunned down Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot in Atlanta on Friday night.

Brooks, 27, died from 2 gunshot wounds to the back, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office. His death was ruled a homicide.

The cop who shot Brooks, Garrett Rolfe (pictured left), was fired on Saturday after his superiors determined his use of deadly force was not justified.

His partner, Devin Bronsan, was placed on desk duty until the investigation into the officer-involved shooting is completed.

Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields stepped down and her resignation was accepted by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Saturday.

In a series of tweets, Owens, 31, said Brooks is a "criminal" and called for the resignation of Mayor Bottoms and the reinstatement of former police capt. Shields.

"Any person demanding justice for #RayshardBrooks is representative of the absolute vermin of American society. There should be protests DEMANDING that the police chief be reinstated and that mayor @KeishaBottoms
RESIGN for placating CRIMINALS.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

T.I. Says it’s Time to Cancel Candace Owens: ‘She Got to Go’

Moses Robinson/Getty Images

Tip "T.I." Harris is no fan of conservative commentator Candace Owens. He says Owens is a lost cause, due to her endless criticism of George Floyd, the Black man who died when a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes.

During an appearance on Nick Cannon's Power 106 radio show, T.I. called on Black Twitter to cancel Owens, according to EURweb.com.

"We can have an intelligent discussion. You can either change my mind. I can change your mind. But we still moved forward," he continued. "I don't think dropping each other off is the answer all the time."

But when it comes to Owens, T.I. said she's a lost cause.

"Candace Owens. She got to go. She can't come," he said, before suggesting she's a "paid plant" whose goal is to "come out here and speak against everything the majority of us are standing for."

"So white people are always right? You telling me law enforcement is always right? You telling me the United States of America has always been right when it comes to dealing with us? And that's her story. And you can't trust that story because we have facts that tell us otherwise ... She seems to have forgotten that she's black. She has turned in her black card and crossed over."

T.I. and Owens butted heads during the 2019 REVOLT TV summit in Atlanta, where the rapper called Owens "dangerous" and claimed she was "being used for propaganda."

Candace Owens: ‘George Floyd is neither a martyr or a hero’

Photo may have been deleted

Candace Owens continued her attack on George Floyd, the Black Minnesota man who was killed in police custody on May 25.

Owens told her Twitter followers George Floyd "is being upheld as an amazing human being."

She detailed his criminal history, which includes 8 arrests between 1997 and 2005 in Harris County, Texas. Floyd, 46, allegedly held a woman against her will at gunpoint before searching her house for drugs and money.

"Everyone is pretending that this man lived a heroic lifestyle," Owens said. "We are embarrassing in that regard. Nobody wants to tell the truth in Black America. Our biggest problem is us. "I have no apologies to make. George Floyd is not my martyr. He can be yours."

Owens agreed that, despite his criminal history, Floyd's family deserved justice because he was a man being.

"Not every Black American is a criminal. Not every Black American is committing crimes. But we are unique in that we are the only people that fight and scream and demand support for the people in our community that are up to no good. You would be hard-pressed to find a Jewish person who has spent five stints in prison, who commits a crime and dies while committing a crime and that the Jewish people demand justice for."

She continued, "You would be hard-pressed to find this in white America -- even in Latino America. What I am saying is not any defense for Derek Chauvin. The family of George Floyd deserves justice for the way that he died but I also am not going to accept the narrative that this is the best the Black community has to offer. For whatever reason it has become fashionable over the last five or six years for us to turn criminals into heroes overnight. It is something I find despicable."

In a follow-up post, Owens wrote: "Confession: #GeorgeFloyd is neither a martyr or a hero. But I hope his family gets justice."

Derek Chauvin, the ex Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on Floyd's neck causing his death, was fired from the police force and arrested. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison upgraded his charges to second-degree murder.

In addition to Chauvin (pictured 2nd from right), three former officers who pinned Floyd to the ground and stood by while he died were also charged in Floyd's murder on Wednesday, June 3.

Former Minneapolis officers J. Alexander Kueng, (pictured 2nd from left), Thomas Lane (left), and Tou Thao (far right) are all in custody, charged with aiding and abetting and second-degree murder and aiding and abetting and second-degree manslaughter. Kueng is set to appear in court on Thursday. If convicted on all charges, they face a maximum of 40 years in prison.

Candace Owens says Black people act like a “trained chimpanzee” every time a Black person is murdered in police custody

Photo may have been deleted

Candace Owens is being dragged on Twitter for stating her opinions on the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

Four cops were fired from the police force on Tuesday, a day after Floyd, who is Black, died from asphyxiation when a white cop kneeled on his neck for nearly 8 minutes (brain death occurs in 4 minutes).

Owens, a conservative, pro-Trump activist, angered Black Twitter when she suggested Black people act like a "trained chimpanzee" every time a Black person is murdered by a non-Black person.

In a livestream on YouTube, Owens compared Black people to the Scottish people who have passed the English people in engineering, and in the sciences, "because they challenged themselves to be better, and not to be worse."

She added:

"They didn't pretend that somehow having a broken language, having broken-down families was a symbol of who we are. And that is so unique to Black America. I won't subscribe to it. People say that's how you have to be Black.

"'That's how you have to be Black'? Listen to your psychological conditioning. If to be Black, you can't speak in proper English, or you're 'acting white.' Right? To be Black, you instantly have to jump up like a fucking trained chimpanzee - excuse my language - like a trained chimpanzee every single time the media runs a story, and act angry, and riot, and talk about how pained you were to see this happen to Black people, but keep your mouth shut, right, when it happens Black-on-Black because if you talk about the Black-on-Black crime, you're a race traitor, right?"

Black conservatives blast Candace Owens for saying Ahmaud Arbery was not jogging

Black conservatives distanced themselves from Candace Owens when she suggested Ahmaud Arbery was not out jogging the day he died in Glynn County, Georgia.

Arbery, 25, was killed by Travis McMichael, 34, and his father Gregory McMichael, a retired police detective, in Brunswick, Ga.

The two suspects caught Arbery inside a neighbor's home that was under renovation. They pursued Arbery to make a citizen's arrest, but he was killed during a struggle when he reached for Travis McMichael's shotgun.

Owens, a conservative pro-Trump activist, dismissed the narrative that Arbery was just out jogging that day.

He wore a white t-shirt and khaki shorts that sagged off his buttocks -- not the typical jogging outfit.

Owens tweeted on May 9:

"Ahmaud Arbery was caught on camera breaking into an unfinished property that was owned by Larry English. His mother has confirmed it is him in the video. Please stop with the "just a jogger" bullshit narrative. Avid joggers don’t wear khaki shorts & stop to break into homes."

She added:

"Daily mail has published the full 4 minute video of Ahmaud Arbery WALKING* up the street, and then ENTERING a private property which was under construction. As I said: He didn't deserve to die but the 'just a jogger' narrative was a race-baiting LIE."

Black conservatives reacted with anger to Owens' tweets. They distanced themselves from Owens.

Jonathan Throwe, former South Carolina director for the BLEXIT movement, said Owens will do anything to please white people, including criminalizing a Black man after death.

Throwe said he left the BLEXIT movement because he resented Owens portraying Black America negatively in the face of white supporters.

"She will blatantly ignore the facts that would equally cause White America to have to look in the mirror themselves on key issues," he said.

"I decided to resign from BLEXIT to prevent being associated with someone who doesn't speak for Black people, but speaks against Black people."

Diante Johnson, President of the Black Conservative Federation, asked, "Why is she so hateful?

And Shermichael Singletary, a conservative political commentator for cable news, addressed Owens indirectly: "If you're Black & conservative and your [sic] only purpose is talking down your own community for applause & acceptance from white people, you have a problem."

Candace Owens Stopped by Police for Not Wearing Face Mask

NurPhoto via Getty Images

Candace Owens got a personal taste of what life is like living in a police state. Owens, 30, was stopped by police for not wearing a face mask in a Washington, D.C. Wholefoods supermarket.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser signed an executive order on April 8 requiring all store patrons to wear a mask or face covering in public beginning April 9. But the order didn't go into effect until Monday, April 13.

Owens and her husband, who shop daily in Wholefoods, were stopped by a police officer for not wearing masks on Tuesday, despite the low coronavirus death toll in the Washington D.C. area.

The pro-Trump conservative activist took to Twitter.com to vent her frustration at being threatened with arrest in the District of Columbia where her friend, President Donald Trump famously said he will not wear a face mask.

Owens was shocked at how easily some Americans are willing to give up their liberties and freedom in government-controlled police states.

"WOW. Just had a police officer called over to me and my husband at Whole Foods bc we were not wearing masks. We come to this @WholeFoods EVERY DAY. Apparently beginning yesterday, it is now illegal to come in without a mask. Total deaths in D.C from Covid? 69.

WTF if going on?"

Her tweet led some of her followers to question whether they still live in a free country.

Thankfully, our governor here in Georgia has not ordered draconian measures to battle the coronavirus, which to date has killed less people in America than the common flu.

The CDC offers the following tips to avoid spreading the flu or Covid-19 virus:

1. Do not touch your face with unwashed hands
2. Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds
3. Avoid close contact with sick people
4. Sneeze and cough into a tissue or your elbow
5. Stay home if you are sick
5. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces
6. When in doubt consult with a healthcare professional

CDC accused of faking coronavirus death numbers in America

David Ryder/Getty Images

The death toll from the coronavirus pandemic is not the catastrophe that doctors with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicted it would be.

U.S. lawmakers locked down many states under guidance from the CDC who predicted millions of people would die from the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

The CDC is being accused of fraud for inflating death toll numbers by instructing hospitals, morgues and funeral homes to assign COVID-19 as the cause of death - even if people died from another cause.

The CDC's official guidance for coding COVID-19 is to assign cause of death as COVID-19 if the disease is "caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death."

No lab tests or autopsies are required under the CDC's guidance. The CDC's policy has come under scrutiny and is being mocked on social media by activists such as Candace Owens, who has been very vocal about the CDC's deception.

"We've now arrived at the point where doctors and politicians are openly admitting to fluffing the death count," she tweeted on Wednesday.

Owens suggested that doctors are classifying every death as COVID-related to artificially raise the death toll.

"Apparently, doctors and nurses around the world are wondering why no one is dying from heart attacks and strokes anymore. Flu and pneumonia deaths also went off a cliff. Turns out everyone is only dying of #Coronavirus now.

Gee. I wonder why."

Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued that the coronavirus outbreak in America hasn't been the "disaster that we feared."

And Fox News host Britt Hume noted that Dr. Deborah Birx, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, confirmed suspicions that the government is fudging the death count.

Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum was caught with his pants down - literally - at an alleged meth orgy with two men Thursday night.

According to a police report obtained by conservative activist Candace Owens, Gillum was arrested in a drug-filled hotel room with two other men last night in Miami Beach.

According to the police report, Gillum, 40, was arrested in a Miami Beach hotel room with two other men in various stages of undress. Police responded to the location after one of the men overdosed on crystal meth.

The drugs were in three small baggies on the bed and the floor in full view of cops. One of the men told police that when he arrived at the hotel shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday, Gillum and the person having the medical issue were "inside the room under the influence of an unknown substance."

The police observed Gillum, who was partially undressed, in a bathroom vomiting. He was unable to communicate with officers due to his level of inebriation.

Gillum confirmed he was the man in the police report. The failed gubernatorial candidate released a statement on Friday, calling his arrest a "distraction".

"I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends. While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines. I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement."

Gillum, who is married, added that he will spend "the next few weeks" with his family and asked for privacy during this embarrassing time.

Gillum and his wife of 11 years, R. Jai Howard, have three children. Gillum, a Democrat, served as the 126th Mayor of Tallahassee from 2014 to 2018.

Candace Owens lashed out at Meghan Markle for using her trip to Africa as the worst time to complain about the British press abusing her.

Owens was livid that Meghan went all the way to Africa to complain about her "over-privileged life".

DAVID HARRISON/AFP/Getty Images

The American-born royal broke down in an emotional interview with Britain's ITV Network during her and Prince Harry's recent journey to Africa. She discussed the brutal treatment she's received from the British tabloids.

Meghan said her friends warned her not to marry Harry because the British press would ruin her life.

"In all fairness, I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand, but when I first met Harry, my friends were so excited, my U.S. friends were happy because I was happy," Meghan said.

"My British friends, they were sure he was lovely, but they said I shouldn't do it because 'the British tabloids will destroy your life'. Because I'm American I very naively didn't get it. It's complicated."

But Candace Owens was unsympathetic toward Meghan. She took to social media to lash out at the 38-year-old first-time-mom.

"Using African children as a backdrop to complain about your over-privileged life is offensive," she tweeted.

She also directed her anger at Prince Harry, 35.

"Invoking your own mother's tragic death to demand the press stop calling out your hypocritical wife is downright disgusting.

Meghan Markle is a witch.
Harry is under your spell."
