Candace Owens faces intensified attacks from Laura Loomer, Ben Shapiro, and Turning Point USA due to her unyielding stance on foreign policy, welfare dependency, and racial issues. Opponents utilize Carfax data smears and accusations of grifting to discredit her, yet these efforts only elevate her as a Promethean figure of defiance against institutional corruption. Despite doxxing and deplatforming, her audience grows, viewing her as an exemplar who exposes truth over comfort, proving that power structures fear those who refuse to kneel.

Candace vs The Establishment00:08:27
My friend, in recent American history, and I use this term specifically, in recent American history, there has never been a singular personality who has challenged the entrenched power structure at all levels more ferociously,
more courageously, and more unyieldingly than Candace Owens.
Not the billionaires who buy elections, not the cable news anchors or reporters in that absolutely decrepit industry of theirs, the anchors who script the narrative, not the politicians who bow to donors and lobbies, feckless, impuissant.
No one.
Not Tucker Carlson in his prime, not Alex Jones in his heyday, not even the most outspoken voices on either side of the aisle.
No.
Candace Owens stands alone, alone, as the one figure, the one figure who refuses to kneel, refuses to apologize, and moreover, refuses to let the machine grind her into silence.
And that's why the attacks from every direction.
Laura Loomer, by the way, who is off the charts, Laura Loomer is just.
I mean, is it not obvious to anybody that she's not doing this?
She's the vanguard.
She's the individual taking the heat.
She's not doing this.
She's being fed all of this information from car facts to vehicle histories.
I mean, what is she?
A credit bureau?
Laura Loomer, with her, I mean, to call the tweets venomous, lawsuits, threats, TPUSA with its institutional knives out, ready.
The feckless, impuissant, completely atesticular right wing grifters who once platformed her and now call her a traitor.
And the AWOL left, oh, these, well, they're just gone.
They're just abandoned.
But the radical left, the nihilistic radical left that has long branded her public enemy number one, you name it, they swarm her like locusts because she will not.
And the more they attack her, and this is critical, the more she is loved, the more fans she attracts.
She is the living embodiment of Nietzsche's truth.
What does not destroy her makes her stronger.
It's not just an expression.
She's been elevated via an apotheosis, not by self promotion, but by sheer force of her refusal to.
To kowtow, to compromise, to give in.
People love her.
You don't under, no, no, no.
You don't under, you've, people love her.
I mean, love her.
Don't like her.
Love her.
Admire her.
They love her.
I'm not exaggerating this.
I know what I'm talking about.
There are people sometimes who say, oh, I think this is wonderful.
I think, I think.
There is a collective.
You've got to listen to them.
They admire her so much.
She's their friend.
She's what they wish they could be.
I mean, she's by herself and she's enjoying it.
And nobody can destroy her because she stands on truth.
And an unbreakable commitment to it.
I know that sounds kind of not hokey, but it's understood.
Let me take you back to where it all began because context matters, history matters.
And when you're measuring, you're trying to measure or chronicle a legend.
This is important.
Candace Owens did not emerge from some safe, conservative incubator, she came from the same identical cultural trenches.
That produced generations and legions of black Americans told to stay on the Democratic plantation.
Stay there.
Oh, no, no, no.
And you're a woman too.
Like, oh, know your place.
You think I'm kidding?
You think I'm exaggerating?
That's always been the unwritten rule.
She saw the welfare state slow poisoned.
She saw the destruction of the family, the victimhood gospel sold as some kind of a weird message of empowerment.
She broke free.
Blexit wasn't a hashtag for her, it was a personal exodus.
And she called out Black Lives Matter, not as some, you know, some fringe provocateur, but as a woman who had stared at the data.
Trillions spent, cities in ruins, fatherless homes exploding, and black Americans still voting 90%, 90% for the party that kept them dependent.
Oh, my God.
This will not be abided.
The left lost its mind.
They called her the usual.
You know, Uncle Tom or.
What Aunt Thomasina, whatever the phrase.
Somebody called her Uncle Tom and Healed or something, a race trader, a sellout.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And by the way, that only told her she was right because you only take flack when you're over the target.
And media hit pieces, canceled events, death threats, the usual playbook.
But Candace Owens didn't flinch.
She didn't budge.
She doubled down.
She went on every stage, every podcast, every campus, and dismantled.
The lies, the mendacity, the libels with facts, with an incredible wit and the unmistakable edge.
She challenged the power structure at its core, the racial grievance industry that keeps entire communities voting against their own interests.
Oh, she exposed everything.
And that was just the beginning.
The establishment right thought they could contain her.
Oh, she's one of ours.
Oh, she's good.
We'll use her.
She'll be happy we acknowledge her.
No, no, no, no.
Turning Point USA gave her a platform early on.
Ben Shapiro's soon to be completely defunct, otiose, and concretized this vestige of something, this relic, Daily Wire, brought her in as a star.
They loved her.
They loved the optics.
Sharp, beautiful black woman eviscerating the left.
Yeah.
But Candace Owens was never anybody's token.
And they should have known that.
She started asking the uncomfortable questions, the questions nobody else asked, the questions that the controlled opposition never touched.
Why are we sending billions to endless foreign wars while our own borders collapse?
Why does one lobby exert disproportionate influence over American foreign policy?
Why do our so called conservative Institutions parrot the same identical neocon talking points as the corporate media.
Why?
When Charlie Kirk was assassinated last year, Candace didn't join the scripted eulogies and move on.
She demanded answers.
She followed the threads, donors, intel ties, shifting stances on foreign countries, Israel, the United States, Middle East, internal betrayals.
She named names.
She refused the official story, the official accepted narrative, and that would not be allowed.
And that's when the knives came out from her own supposed side.
TPUSA's new leadership, Erica Kirk.
Demanding Answers After Charlie Kirk00:13:13
Oh my God.
Well, she, listen, she, Erica was just focused, just told, you're going to do this.
Okay.
Erica, I'm sorry, is the sock puppet.
She's performative.
You put your theoretical hand in her, in this marionette.
She says what you want.
She has no independence.
She's not that bright.
I'm sorry.
She's not that bright.
She's just, it's her role.
She's, she's like a, she's like, like one of these women at like car shows, you know, where the, At the Javits Center, who have the sign.
She's Vanna White.
She's Carol Merrill, for those of you who remember.
Let's make a deal.
She's just.
And the entire apparatus turned on Candace.
They called her conspiratorial, unhinged, racist, anti Semitic, dangerous.
Laura Loomer, Laura Loomer, Trump's self appointed loyalty enforcer, at least for now, it would appear, escalated it into a personal warfare like we've never seen.
I mean, virulent.
Doxing family members, threatening lawsuits.
Well, maybe, by the way, be very careful, Laura, because this, I mean, if this is not malice, reckless disregard for the truth, saying things that Candace is repeatedly saying, this is not true.
This is not true, these allegations.
But be warned.
And by the way, a little message for Laura.
As soon as you're.
I know, Larry.
As soon as you're of no use to anyone, you're dropped like a bad habit.
You're just forgotten.
So don't think, don't think for some reason that you're going to be, you know, always in everybody's favor.
Oh, no, no.
Once you've gone too far and you've gone too far, they will drop you like they've never known you.
And Laura, this loomer is spinning these wild accusations about her husband, even questioning her children, the feckless, implicit right.
Those fair weather patriots who worship power over principle.
Piled on and Ben Shapiro, this guy, what kind of a stranglehold.
And I still ask who ever looked at Ben Shapiro and said, Now that's a guy who's going to win the young folks over.
That's a guy whose warmth and telegraphic sincerity will just win the day.
Ben Shapiro called her a grifter.
Tim Poole, remember him?
Labeled her evil.
Well, we know what Tim is.
The very people who once cheered her on now tried to cancel her harder than the left ever did.
And the AWOL left, they never stopped.
From MSDNC to the squad, they painted her as Nazi adjacent, anti Semite, a danger to democracy, a black woman who dared to think for herself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they weaponized every clip.
It was incredible.
Every clip, every tweet, every evolving investigation that she pursued.
But here's what they all miss.
And it's so obvious.
Candace Owens doesn't chase clout.
She chases truth.
And when institutions lie, whether it's the CDC on lockdowns, big tech on censorship, foreign lobbies, or lobbies shaping U.S. policy, she calls it.
And she's right.
And they know she's right.
And when her own movement starts smelling like the establishment it claims to oppose, well, she calls that out too.
And that's what terrifies them.
Because power structures survive on obedience and silence, and Candace Owens offers neither.
I know you know this, but a lot of people still don't.
They don't get it.
They don't understand why she is not giving up or giving in.
She won't.
She can't.
It's not in her.
This is why the assaults only make her stronger.
Nietzsche wasn't writing self help pablum when he said, you know, that's what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
He didn't say that.
Or, as my favorite is, that which doesn't kill us, memes us.
But with Candace, it's a different story.
He was describing the forge of adversity.
Every hit Candace has taken has tempered her like steel.
The Daily Wire fallout, she emerged with a bigger independent platform than ever.
The TPUSA war, her live streams on the Kirk assassination racked up millions.
Millions of views while they scramble to control the narrative.
And every day, her acolytes, her fans, her minions, her apostles, her believers wait for her, wait breathlessly for her to come online.
In fact, if she's not on, oh my God, there's nervousness.
Where is she?
What's going on?
What's going on?
She's late.
She's an addiction because people are addicted to truth.
And Lumer's personal attacks.
They backfire and still do spectacularly.
Because it exposes the pettiness, the desperation of the loyalty beast.
It doesn't even seem like she wants to do anything but hurt Candace.
The information that's being adduced, that's being revealed, isn't for a particular benefit, it's just to hurt her.
Carfax?
What is she, like a credit?
Manager at a dealership?
What is this?
When Candace brings something up, it's to show something relevant to your particular information.
If she finds information or highlights something which is problematic to whoever it is, whether it's COVID or whether it's Laurie Franz or TPUSA or whoever it is, it's not just to be mean, it's to make a point.
What Loomer's doing is just to be mean.
You see, the left, these smears, they only grew her audience among young people, especially young black men and women.
Black men and women who are waking up to this scam.
She's been canceled, demonetized, deplatformed, doxxed.
How many countries can she not go to?
Countries?
Threatened?
Yet her subscriber base climbs.
Her event sells out if she were to do this again.
I mean, can you imagine it?
By the way, the event that I want to see is a no holds barred battle royal, lights out match.
90 minutes, no referee, no tap out, no DQ, no over the top rope disqualification, nothing between Candace and Erica.
Can you imagine that?
Can you just think about that?
What they don't understand is Candace's voice cuts through, her voice and her message really cuts through the noise like a scalpel.
What doesn't destroy her just makes her stronger and makes her mythic.
Watch her in action.
Watch, watch, and you'll see the apotheosis that I'm talking about in real time.
She walks onto any particular platform, anything.
When she hits a podcast, if she's a guest, if she's anything, X live stream, YouTube, whatever it is.
And with the calm of someone who knows exactly what she is doing, she gives you the message I know I'm right.
No notes, no fear.
She dismantles talking points with precision, has a memory you can't believe.
And the economic data on welfare dependency, cultural rot of fatherlessness, she's done this.
The hypocrisy of forever wars, the institutional capture by special interests.
She doesn't pander.
She doesn't soften.
She tells, White and black Americans, that the Democratic Party has failed them worse than Jim Crow ever did.
Not because she hates them, but because she loves them and loves the truth and loves the truth more than comfort.
She doesn't need to be doing this.
She tells conservatives, by the way, that blind loyalty to any man or any foreign policy is not conservatism, it is idolatry, and they despise it because they know she's right.
And the crowds roar because they recognize authenticity and real speech in a world of scripted.
Bullshit.
This is her elevation.
Not to political office, not to billionaire status, but to something even higher.
A cultural, I'm going to keep using the word, this apotheosis, this deification, this elevation.
She has become the symbol of the unbowed individual in an age, I guess, of conformity too much.
Young conservatives quote her like scripture.
Independent thinkers across the spectrum, left, right, or whatever, and none of the above, they watch her because she's right.
Because she forces them to confront their own assumptions, their own misdirections, their own misapplications of reality.
Even her enemies admit her impact in backhand ways.
They wouldn't devote this much time.
Remember, you only take flack when you're over the target.
They wouldn't devote this much time and energy to destroying her if she weren't relevant, if she weren't ordered, if she had to be dispatched.
And the swarm, the swarm proves her relevance.
The louder they scream, the clearer her signal becomes, which is true.
And she will not budge.
That is the final unbreakable truth.
Candace Owens has the truth, the truth behind her, and a commitment forged again in fire.
Truth is not popular, truth is not safe, truth does not come with corporate sponsors or institutional protection, but truth endures.
And she stared them down every time, every power center, media, academia, political parties.
The donor class, foreign lobbies, and she refuses to kneel.
In doing so, she has exposed the fragility of the entire machine.
And it relies on fear.
She has none.
It relies on division.
She unites people, unites people around ideas and thoughts, not identities, and it relies on silence, and she speaks louder than anyone.
So let them come.
Let Laura Loomer tweet until her fingers bleed.
Let TPUSA issue statements until the cows come home and schedule counter programming.
It doesn't matter.
Especially that horrible word, that horrible word, that horrible word to Charlie Kirkshire.
Let the feckless right distance themselves and the AWOL left froth at the mouth.
It is over.
They are not attacking a woman.
They're attacking the idea that one person with courage and facts and gumption and balls can topple their illusions.
They are attacking the mirror that she holds up to their corruption.
And every single time they swing, they miss the point.
Candace Owens is not going anywhere.
She has been elevated beyond their reach.
People love her, they adore her.
They adore her.
They hang on every word.
They're devoted to her and her ideas and her thoughts.
Not because she's perfect, but because she's real and she's authentic.
And she's honesty.
Because in the time of professional liars, she tells the truth as she sees it.
Consequences be damned.
What does not destroy her makes her stronger.
And America is stronger because of it.
You might think, well, I'm overdoing it, but I'm not.
She, again, Again, she is the elevation.
She's the apotheosis.
She is this weird, this Promethean exemplar of defiance.
The singular personality who reminds us that power structures are not individuals.
Power structure fears one thing above all a voice that can't be bought, cannot be broken, and will not be silenced.
And that voice belongs to Candace Owens.
And history will remember her, not as the target of their rage, but as the one who made them rage in the first place.
Because she dared, I keep saying it again, she dared to challenge everything they hold sacred.
Don't miss this point.
Don't miss this.
You've got a lot of names thrown around here.
Erica Kirk, who is just this befuddled child, she has no idea what she's doing.
She really is not.
Why they're involving her in this, I.
Erica Kirk Is Not Ready00:01:15
I don't know.
It's not fair.
It's not fair to her.
It really isn't.
It's not fair.
But what I'm telling you, more than anything else, what I'm telling you is that you were seeing something that history will remember in Candace's favor.
And I thank you for being so nice.
Nice to, not me, which is true, not to Candace, but nice to the truth.
Thank you for embracing the truth.
Thank you for letting the world know what you believe.
Thank you for that.
