Candace Owens Reacts to the RNC Not Inviting Her to Speak

[CatWoman]

Some Twitter users took notice after political activist and social media influencer Candace Owens was not included on the list of people speaking at the Republican National Committee, slated to kick off Monday.

Owens, a Black conservative, quickly became a top-trending Twitter topic on the mini-blog, amassing more than 25,000 mentions. Owens has been an open supporter of President Donald Trump, and created #Blexit, a movement that wants to discourage Black Americans from voting with the Democratic Party.

If she did have the chance to appear, Owens said she would have “crushed” former President Barack Obama, who was openly critical of Trump during the DNC last week. Owens was responding to a tweet penned by comedian Tom Dillon, who argued the Blexit leader deserved to be speaking over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Hayley and his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump...

Owens tweeted this and it's now been removed:



I would have crushed Obama’s DNC appearance. https://t.co/RdJlSmK00R

Heavy reached out to the RNC and Owens for comment but did not immediately hear back.

[sfstaxprep]

2. She Sounds Perfect

Why wouldn't they allow her to speak, and "crush" President Obama?

[still_one]

3. Perhaps Ms Owens doesn't realize she is an African American woman, and that isn't a

particularly welcome demographic within republican circles

[brush]

24. Maybe she learned something. It's hard though to get thru...

to black repugs that they aren't different and special all those outer black folks. Also that black folds aren't really welcome in the white peoples' party, just tolerated to stand behind trump on podiums within camera view.

[Demovictory9]

27. And its interesting she focuses on Obama and not biden

Her focus is taking down other black people

[Cha]

29. EVEN if they Suck Up to the Anti-Christ himself..

9. The only way she "crushes" Obama

Is to say that she did.

And if the propaganda machine tells its brainwashed masses that she did.

The fact that nothing remotely close to that would ever happen is meaningless in their bubble.

11. "I would have crushed Obama's DNC appearance."

14. Which black will they get then? Kanye?

One problem with the virtual conventions, imo. We won't get to view the traditional "all white sea of faces" in the Republican delegate pool. I'll miss mocking it. But if you're in the Trump base, you probably miss it more.

[Renew Deal]

15. There is something about her Trump doesn't like.

Can’t figure out just what.

[bbernardini]

17. Aunt Ruckus strikes out again. nt

[jcgoldie]

19. No room

Donald trump needs to speak every 10 minutes or else he feels neglected it cuts into the schedule sorry Candace.

[calguy]

20. As Rick Wilson said on The Lincoln Project event tonight....

"The republicans used to talk about a Big Tent. Now that Big Tent has turned into a Pup Tent."
Sorry Candace, only so many colored can fit in such a small space.

[chowder66]

21. She may be a surprise guest now.

[Takket]

25. can you image her and Obama having a serious nuanced policy debate?

looks like this LOL

[SharonClark]

31. What a take down!

[Demovictory9]

26. Her whole schtick is making anri black statements

She takes positions most black people would disagree wirh and racists tweet in response "you are so smart"

[Snake Plissken]
