Candace Owens: Democrats Put on ‘Ultimate Display of Cowardice’ at Congressional Hearing Turning Point USA founder and Executive Director Charlie Kirk hosted SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily on Wednesday morning, in which he interviewed the organization’s Communications Director Candace Owens, who had testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on hate crimes and white nationalism on Tuesday. Owens offered her remarks about her experience at the hearing, in which she noted that Democrats had put on the “ultimate display of cowardice” at the committee hearing. “I loved the part where congressman Ted Lieu tried to make you look bad and played a clip of you— which was heavily edited by the way — and then did not give you a chance to respond,” said Charlie Kirk to Candace Owens, as they talked about Tuesday’s congressional hearing and the behavior displayed by the Democrat politicians on the committee. “An ultimate act of cowardice,” responded Owens, giving her take on one particular moment from the hearing, “The idea that he tried to create a narrative and just think that his constituents, that the American people are so stupid, that they are not going to go pursue the full context of what we were talking about.”
“And instead, [Lieu] tries to pretend like I jumped on a stage one day and launched into a defense of a homicidal maniac who murdered six million Jews,” continued Owens, “It was disgusting, but it did him a great disservice, because, let me tell you — [people] realize now — the length that they’re willing to go to smear anybody, especially a black conservative.” “And it’s really interesting,” added Kirk, “Ted Lieu not giving you a chance to respond? How fitting. It’s the ‘guilty until proven innocent,’ right? No cross-examination, no capacity to defend yourself — it would be one thing if he played that, and then he would say, ‘Ms. Owens, what would you like to say about that?’ Instead, he plays the clip and then he just moves on.” Kirk then recalled the moment that followed, which ended up creating one of the many viral moments shared and viewed by millions on the internet. And then, my favorite part is that one of the Republican congressmen — God bless him — who gave you his time, right? He’s like, ‘Ms. Owens, I think you should be allowed to respond to this.’ And then, I’m paraphrasing here, but you said something along the lines of, ‘Ted Lieu thinks black people are stupid,’ and then congressman Nadler, who just woke up from his nap, says, ‘the witness will not call another member of the committee stupid,’ and you didn’t say that. You actually said he thinks other people are stupid, and then, the greatest moment of the whole hearing, is Nadler just kind of shrugs. “Yeah, and it’s funny — suddenly [Rep. Nadler] got all gavel happy,” laughed Owens, as she recalled the instance, “He just wanted to say something to me, because I had earlier said to him that he exhibits anti-black bias.” Owens then went on to talk about another congressman, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), who had also acted unprofessionally by calling her “despicable,” and then left the hearing. Link to Article: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/...
