Candace Owens (born 1989) is a conservative producer, political commentator, intellectual,[1] and founder of the Blexit movement. She is especially well known for leaving the anti-Trump Democrat plantation to join the conservative movement against Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the Left. On PragerU, she runs The Candace Owens Show, a series of intellectual debates between other intellectuals and herself. Subsequently, the lamestream media quickly labeled her as a "white supremacist" in many failed smear attacks due to her open opposition to liberal bigotry.[2]

Repudiation by Kanye West

In October 2018, Owens claimed Kanye West had helped design a clothing range to promote Blexit: “I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West.”[3][4] West promptly denied any direct involvement and distanced himself from the movement: "I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it." [5] In a blog post, Owens acknowledged West was "completely right to feel used" and apologized for "any undue stress or pain the effort to correct [this] rumor has caused him, his business relationships, or his family. He simply never designed them."[6]

Previous political & ethical views

In 2015, Owens wrote a number of blog posts for Degree180. Notably, she described the Tea Party movement as "bat-s***-crazy" and conservative opposition to homosexuality as "the most ridiculously pathetic and stupid thing that our government has inflicted upon a group of people for being themselves, since slavery".[7]

In another post, Owens conducted an imaginary interview with God, who offered this remarkable analysis of the November 2015 Paris terror attacks: "ISIS hates France in the same way that a lonely high school student hates the captain of the football team. They are entangled in a way that one seeks validation from the other, because the other has shunned them in some regard."[8]

She has described adultery as "romantic", despite "the devastation it causes",[9] and said she "believe[s] in sexual freedom, and as long as there are two consenting individuals—who am I to place judgement … More power to them, am I right?"[10] She also penned a step-by-step guide to lying successfully in order to obtain Adderall without a prescription or doctor's evaluation.[11]
