Candace Owens: "He's (Trump) been a chronic disappointment, and I feel embarrassed that I told people

[riversedge]

Over the years, Owens has done great harm to the #USA and My response
would be along the lines of the second tweet.

1. Candace is finally growing up!

I’m so proud of her. Maybe she will finally learn how to wipe her ass?

[Oneironaut]

49. She's going the other way, tbh.

She’s (imo) getting even more unhinged. IMO, she is against Trump now because she hates Jewish people, and, wants him to as well.

She’s also promoted flat earth conspiracies lately. Her audience is getting crazier tbh.

[CTyankee]

2. we all know some good people who were taken in by the repubs, swindled, defrauded politically. Now they have to live

with the consequences. I love saying "I told you so" to these people, but maybe we should try another approach: sympathize with the fact that they have been swindled, taken for a ride, sold out, and now deserted by the party they voted for in high hopes that if they voted for the rich they would somehow be rich.These people can potentially be our allies. At the very least they might listen to you and the rest of us Dems who warned them. They might finally, finally get pissed off at being defrauded.

As the the rest of the repukes, the evil monsters like Trump, SCREW them! Let them suffer the consequences of their stupidity.

[Paladin]

11. If they voted for trump, I revoked their "good people" status---relatives included.

And I'll be God-damned if I'll ever give them any sympathy for it. Actions have consequences--the usual Democratic "forgive and forget" response is inappropriate, given the damage they helped to create...

[CTyankee]

20. Yep. some people have to learn the hard way and I'll bet there are those experiencing this right now. Not enough, tho.

some will die believing in Trump and his wannabes.

[llmart]

22. I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you.

It's not like these people didn't have the knowledge of what he was like. He had already been president once, and we saw how he bungled everything he touched, especially the Covid pandemic where millions of our fellow citizens lost their lives.

He was also a convicted felon, twice impeached, an adjudicated sexual offender, etc. etc. It takes a very stupid person to fall for his schtick again hoping he'd change.

[CTyankee]

25. Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, being very stupid doesn't bar you from voting.

I go on a rant nearly every day about this situation, starting early in the morning. I've got DU, the NYT daily edition and MSNBC all at once. Sometimes I just go back to bed....

[llmart]

30. I get it.

I have to limit my intake of "news" and have since January. It really is true that "ignorance is bliss". (not really) It's for my mental health. I refuse to let him destroy my usually contented existence.

Any news I do watch is on CBC. I am so jealous that they have Mark Carney and so embarrassed that we have this monster.

[CTyankee]

50. What gives me "perspective"?

Great art. Knowing where to find it, now mostly on the Internet, has helped me enormously. Especially Rembrandt. You see it in the wrinkles around the eyes of some of his subjects, or just the wildly wonderful (his wife, Saskia, dressed up as "Spring" is pinned up on my home office wall). And music. Try Puccini for just a lot of love.

[aggiesal]

47. I'm reminded of this phrase ...

"Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voting public."

Yet we seem to underestimate the stupidity of the GQP every 2 years.

[gopiscrap]

39. fuck any trump voters

I pray to God every night that they die

[Aristus]

40. I'm sorry. I have to disagree, too.

People who vote from Trump are, in his own favorite epithet, scum. They know what a filthy, despicable skunk he is, but they were okay with that. That makes them very much not "good people".

[CTyankee]

58. My neighbor of 15 years is who I was thinking of.

I am not absolutely sure he voted for Trump but he might have. But this is a guy who has been taking our trash bins down to the curb every Sunday night for pick up on Monday for several years now. And he always asks us "How can I help?" if we need it, given our advanced ages. They have done food shopping for us when we needed some help with it. And not just him, but his wife and kids also.

What is his problem? I dunno. I don't want to ask. But he prizes himself on being an "independent" thinker in this city of relentless liberalism, New Haven. I think he also has a dim view of Yale and Yalies, but we are not Yalies, altho we have loved going to the Yale Bowl for their football games (esp. when The Game is played here cuz I loathe Harvard for personal reasons).

If he voted for Trump I'd like to have a discussion with him. But as you can understand, I don't bring up the subject.

[tavernier]

55. I don't.

He was worse this time around and not one of my smart acquaintances were fooled. The magas I know are still fooled.

[tulipsandroses]

3. Candace is a grifter. She is no longer useful to MAGA

Thus she has been trying to rebrand herself for several months. Not buying it. She sold her soul to MAGA and now the money has dried up. She’s not a novelty anymore. They’ve got plenty of other minorities doing their dirty work now. Those high paying gigs to be the black face co-signing racism aren’t there anymore. No one should believe that she’s seen the light.

[womanofthehills]

59. Some reports have her podcast views at close to 5 million

So she has a large audience and I’m glad she is telling them how mad she is at Trump.

She appears really disgusted with Trump’s war mongering. She believed him when he said America first. She’s into conspiracy stuff which Republicans like but her big mission is she hates Trump for murdering and injuring the children of Gaza.

I hate Trump for Gaza so I’m glad Candice is preaching anti-war to her followers. Lots of Republicans are breaking with Trump over war - look at Tucker, Bannon, Getz, MTG etc - the party is starting to split and that’s a good thing.

[tulipsandroses]

60. It all boils down to her being a grifter. I doubt she cares anything about the people of GAZA other than

to use them to further her anti semitism. Same for Tucker.

[Botany]

4. Owens was told repeatedly what a no good shit Trump was and will still be but she went for the money

Trump’s history, criminal behavior, and his links to Putin were no secret.

The man said that his own daughter was a hot piece of ass. Or something to that effect.
That should have been enough for anybody to stay away from him.

5. Lurkers!

Show of hands, please. How many of you were influenced by this influencer to vote for Trump?

[lonely bird]

13. Influencer...

Now, there is a term that shows the collapse of human society or at least our society.

[Hugin]

14. No kidding.

People having no opinion on matters until they check their social media streams for the loudest yelling.

Pathetic.

[hatrack]

6. Welp, looks like One Of His Best Friends Who Is Black just got her meal ticket canceled . . . .

Too bad, so sad, fuck off Candace.

[Javaman]

7. she's still a thing? or is she trying to remain relevant after vanishing into the wood work? nt

[marble falls]

8. Her 15 minutes of fame got another, extra second.

[WiVoter]

23. Exactly

[dlilafae]

9. Idiota!

[AllyCat]

10. He is exactly who she voted for.

This woman has a lot to apologize for. If she wants my sympathy, she needs to join the fight to stop him.

In the meantime, kiss my arse Candace.

[progressoid]

31. Exactly what I was about to post.

[calimary]

33. I bet a whole bunch of us were just about to post something similar.

I sure was.

[Crowman2009]

12. Fafo grifter!

[griloco]

15. Hey! Give her a break

It's tough being transethnic.

[mgardener]

16. Poor stupid and gullible Candace

She is hopeless.

She did not learn from Trump's first 4 years.
He is exactly who she voted for.

[Joinfortmill]

17. FAFO. Once maybe, but not multiple times.

[tanyev]

18. This miiiight fly if there weren't already a 4 year track record of chaos, malice and incompetence.

Capped off by violence and insurrection.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. She can't make money off of him anymore

So now she wants to be a part of the 92%.

We aren't taking her - she was NEVER one of us.

[tulipsandroses]

26. Nahh, she doesn't want to be one of us. It's another grift. She's been trying to rebrand after she got the boot

from the Daily Wire for her anti-semitic comments. See Candace was too busy getting high on her own supply that she failed to read the room. She was making anti-semitic comments at the time when the GOP was using it as a cudgel. The GOP chooses when and where to use their bigotry to their advantage. Candace failed to recognize that. It was all fine and dandy early on in trump 1.0 when the was the RW media darling defending Hitler. Fastforward to 2024, "fighting anti semitism" is a new weapon in the RW arsenal. Now she's all about " free speech" on college campuses.
Make no mistake, she's no friend of ours.

[JustAnotherGen]

27. I always think

about her leveraging the NAACP for a discrimination suit!

[tulipsandroses]

36. YEP. She went from that and supporting BLM to" racism doesn't exist". All skin folk ain't kinfolk!

She was one of the very few black voices in 2015-2016 backing trump. It became lucrative for her and the other 2 idiots Diamond and Silk. Diamond FAFO and found out with COVID. Has anybody seen Silk? Both her and Candace are now irrelevant to the GOP.

[WiVoter]

21. Trying To Be "Newsworthy"

FAFO dumbass

[ECL213]

24. I say this with all sincerity and the utmost respect...

fuck Candace Owens.

[riversedge]

51. Many +++'s

[LovelyStuff]

28. Give me a break . . .

Trump and/or the right wing have obviously stopped paying her since they don't need her any more.

Or did this all start when Australia and New Zealand refused to let her into the country for her speaking tour a few months ago? I think one of the Australian ministers even denounced her. It may have occurred to her that with any more of this, she'll end up as poor as the people she's conning.

[Old Crank]

29. The last one sums it up.

If you didn't know, why were you voting???

[Ferrets are Cool]

32. Yes, this IS the candiate you voted for. You and millions of others were just too stupid to see it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. Yeah, I'm with Fly on this one.

If she thought she was ordering cake and is being served a shit sandwich when the menu clearly said "contains feces?"

Eat it!

[Wounded Bear]

35. To paraphrase an old song - Second verse worst than the first...nt

[ChazInAz]

37. Well...

Candace, I am no great political philosopher, but I knew it from the very start.
Anyone with a functional sense of right and wrong did.
There's no excuse for your self-serving ignorance, nor will any excuse you make be accepted as a Mea Culpa.
Go away.

[ananda]

38. Ermm... he's exactly the candidate you voted for.

Idiot

[yardwork]

41. She's totally fake. Just a grifter.

[malaise]

42. My only question is why would anyone take advice

from this idiot

[frogstar0]

43. We can laugh and snark, but we will take votes from anyone.

As infuriating as it is. We should take any support we can get. A turned TACO voter is plus two votes . And yes who knows where she will be at midterms.

[BradBo]

44. Candace Owen's is genuinely dumb

[DFW]

45. Disappointment? I get it. Embarrassment? Ya think?

But: he is exactly what you voted for, and anyone who says that Trump has been an unpleasant surprise must have sensory capacity inferior to that of Helen Keller to not have expected that in advance.

[ecstatic]

46. I think she's a grifter whose target audience is drying up

As maga becomes more rightwing and racist, she sees the writing on the wall. She's been dabbling in and out of different spaces to try to see what might be more profitable. She tried to do a black media tour which did not go so well.

She needed an event like the Iran fiasco to credibly sever ties, so now the question is... what's next?

The thing is, we're not as understanding about folks with tRump regret this time around. Candace is a triple trumper! She voted for him three fucking times (including once after he purposely tried to overthrow an American election)! And now we're all forced to watch in horror as our country is dismantled piece by piece.

Once she fully understands that there will be no welcome committee waiting for her on the left, she'll probably find herself in No Man's Land like Meghan McCain, Chris Christie and Mike Pence--alternating between rejecting tRump sometimes, kissing his ass sometimes, insulting the left here and there, to the point where she'll be hated by most people on both sides.

[Oneironaut]

48. The reason she hates Trump is because she's a raging anti-Semite. Lol

Extremists eventually eat each other. Candice Owens is pretty crazy, so, I’m not surprised Trump isn’t “pure” enough for her. She’s basically a full-blown Fascist (purely in my opinion) at this point.

[tulipsandroses]

52. Agreed. The full context is missing here. She's not disappointed in trumpism.

This is about her being an anti semite. She senses the split in the MAGA base. Just like Tucker calling out Cruz.
Tucker doesn't give a damn about the people in Iran.
They are both angling for those folks to support their grift.

[Blue Owl]

53. It's too bad that being stupid is seen by many as "cool" these days

[mucholderthandirt]

54. He is exactly what she voted for. He told her so every time he opened his mouth.

She is a moron.

[Buns_of_Fire]

56. Meanwhile, leopards are causing national shortages of Pepto Bismol and Alka-Seltzer. nt
