Candace Owens is an American conservative activist, author, talk show host, commentator, and political analyst who has gained prominence as a person who is often at logger heads with the Democratic party and liberals in general. Candace Owens identifies herself as a conservative and belongs to the Republican party where she makes her own significant efforts to see that conservative ideas and ideologies are adopted.
Candace Owens long journey to being a conservative has its roots in the 2016 presidential campaign for the United States elections where she rooted and supported Donald J Trump. Though at that time, there were allegations that Donald Trump was racist and anti-black, Candace Owens was one of the few blacks at that time who threw their weight in total support of Donald Trump at a time when the media vilified him.
According to her, she attributed the shift to becoming a conservative in part to the unprecedented outpouring of media criticism directed at candidate Trump. She also changed her political allegiance as a result of the negative reaction she received from liberals to her “Social Autopsy” initiative. Although conservatives were initially critical of the project, when Owens claimed to have been harassed by liberal activists, some conservatives came to her defense and supported her all through.
Owens has also been in the news in 2019 for two controversial developments: the first was her comments about Hitler being a “globalist” rather than a “nationalist,” and the second was when the 2019 New Zealand mosque shooter stated in his manifesto, ironically, that Owens was influential in his political thought.
Besides her criticism of Black Lives Matter and the Democratic Party. Between 2017 and 2019, she was the communications director for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA. She joined The Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro) in 2021 and hosts CANDACE, a political podcast.
