Back in February, this blog explained that needlessly bringing up the H word is always a bad idea. Turning Point USA communications director and pro-Trump stalwart Candace Owens learned after her past remarks surfaced from an event in Britain where the organization opened a new chapter. Like her or not, everyone including Candace Owens needs to realize that liberal blue-check Twitter and all the assorted media and political grifters are going to immediately pounce on any high-profile conservative’s use of the H word. It’s just asking for trouble.
U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu, a compulsive Trump adversary, referenced the U.K. incident at today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing. Evidently this was one of numerous attempts by committee Democrats to make ad hominem attacks without letting the witness fully respond.
Owens notes in one of her tweets the irony of Democrats, who in 2018 elected at least two anti-Semites to Congress, leveling anti-Semitism accusations against her.
Owens is the leader of the #Blexit movement, which has similar objectives to the #WalkAway campaign.
