      Come on, putting Candace Owens up against Cornel West is just embarrassing. Can conservatives stop pretending that this person has any legitimate insights. She's a product of nothing more than simple-minded "identity politics" on the infotainment Rightpic.twitter.com/rBj9eR5xWt

      Media conservatives: we hate identity politics Media conservatives: we love this person making explicitly identity-based appeals to further a political agenda

      Candace's entire argument amounts to "Vote Republican." She's not making an intellectual case for anything. She's just the latest iteration of the longstanding tradition by the institutional conservative movement to elevate "fresh faces" who can spout their tired talking points

          but typically people like her rise as a "fun house mirror" She essentially reflect identity politics back at the left. The idea being that when a bunch of white people surround and berate her is shows hypocrisy of their position

          Conservatives are the ones who most often claim to be opposed to "identity politics" on principle, but the rise of Candace shows they're just as eager to use the tactic when it suits their interests

          I disagree. She had the self-awareness to humiliate Jerry Nadler. No GOP politician has the nerve.

          Really like the part of this thread that criticizes the raising up of Candace Owens as anything other than a right identitarian. Dislike the part that appears to treat conservatism like an unserious perspective.

          Seems like you really want her to come back at you on Twitter. This is twice now that you have attacked her since I started following you. Not sure why you think she is such a threat and not allowed to do her thing same as you.

          I think her maxim of "victor not a victim" is strong. I admire anyone who challenges others to think outside the box --but we all have different boxes-

          People like Owens and Dave Rubin have pretty clearly proven that their principles are entirely transactional. They have no true value system.

          Her argument is that the war on poverty and the welfare state have destroyed the Black family by incentivizing poverty and government dependency. That's a little more than her just saying 'vote Republican'.
