Unpacking the "Demonic" Smear Campaign Against Candace Owens: What's Really Going On?
The internet is abuzz with a highly coordinated smear campaign targeting political commentator Candace Owens. Led by prominent figures like Ben Shapiro and outlets such as The Daily Wire, the accusations are stark: Owens is being labeled "demonic," "pure evil," and even mentally ill (0:01-0:16). But is there more to this story than meets the eye? This episode dives deep into the unsettling allegations and the suspicious timing of these attacks.
Ben Shapiro himself has been a vocal critic, referring to Candace Owens as an "evil, twisted human being" (0:31-0:35). The core of his public grievance stems from Owens' alleged attacks on Erica Kirk, the widow of the late Charlie Kirk, and on Turning Point USA. Shapiro claims that Owens began "casting aspersions" at Erica Kirk just days after Charlie Kirk's death and has continued for months (0:40-1:00).
A key point of contention is Owens' upcoming series, provocatively titled "Bride of Charlie," which Shapiro describes as an "expose on the evil, nefarious, predatory nature of Erica Kirk" (1:13-1:22). Shapiro adamantly dismisses any suggestion of a conspiracy in Charlie Kirk's murder, asserting he was killed by "a transloving gay man who is a furry" (1:31-1:39), directly refuting Owens' insinuations.
Questioning the Narrative: Is Candace Just "Ranting for Clicks"?
The video challenges the one-sided narrative presented by Shapiro and others, questioning whether Candace Owens is merely "ranting for clicks and attention" (3:18-3:20) or if she's raising legitimate, unanswered questions. It poses a critical inquiry: instead of simply fighting Owens at every turn, why not address the questions she's brought to light (3:22-3:27)?
The Curious Case of Charlie Kirk's "Love Letter to Israel"
One of the most intriguing elements discussed is a "love letter to Israel" purportedly written by Charlie Kirk (3:38-3:40) and released by Turning Point USA after his death (3:46-3:51). This letter, which praises advocating for Israel and forming alliances with Jews (3:56-4:04), is presented as highly suspicious, especially when juxtaposed with private text messages from Charlie Kirk.
In these texts, Charlie Kirk expresses frustration over losing a "huge Jewish donor" due to his refusal to "cancel Tucker," even contemplating "leaving the pro-Israel cause" (4:37-4:57). The stark contrast between this private sentiment and the publicly released "love letter" raises significant questions about its authenticity and the timing of its release after his death (5:26-5:41).
The video concludes by directly challenging the narrative, demanding answers: "Show us proof that Charlie requested that letter be sent after he died" (5:59-6:02). This call for transparency suggests that there's a deeper story behind the public attacks on Candace Owens and the events surrounding Charlie Kirk's legacy.
