I watched the entire 17 minutes and what she said overall made sense. There were some points I didn't agree with but I got the gist of it.

Having said all that, I reminded myself that a take like that appeals to her audience which is conservative. Am also of the opinion that's she's an opportunist and very good at selling and defending her opinion. I firmly believe that she's smart enough, talented enough and crass enough to take any stance and convince an audience, her audience, that she's right.

At the end of the day, as a black woman, if she wants to take that stand it's her choice and the repercussions or plaudits are hers.

So you'll say overall she made sense right before you casually dismiss her as an opportunist. Interesting, because that's really the only way any democrat I've seen in a discussion w/her try to handle her. Because none I have seen really had a strong rebuttal for anything she says. They just scoff and roll their eyes and go to their stand by lines and catch phrases. Then they start talking in circles before their last resort of trying to attack her character. Her words, as a black woman, hold more weight to me than the old black and white men who have made a career of pandering to the black vote, while never delivering much that actually improved their situation.
Any thoughts about gofundme shutting her down simply because they didn't like what she said?

Well know she comes out and says she came forward because Fromm's career has been built of off Black People. Wow I guess he didn't work very hard his whole life, to get where he is.

“I’m seeing and feeling the black lives matter movement,” said the woman. “I know that part of my job is to hold racists accountable, despite who they are.

“He has been completely silent despite his career being built off of black people,” she said in an exchange of messages with The Telegraph. “It’s about what he does behind closed doors in this situation.”

This is a couple years old, but shows how the Liberals try to "handle" Candace Owens. Mr Lieu from California trying to twist her words into the narrative he can work with.
https://youtu.be/a-poqjet5mY
This clip is edited. First he, with some condescension in his manner, introduced Candace Owens as a witness before the committee. Then, after his grandstanding play with his recording of her speaking, he poses a question about her words to another witness, without letting her address his salacious attempt to discredit her. He went on for the remainder of his alotted time asking questions of others and never let her speak. She had to wait for the other Representative to get his speaking time and ask her if she had anything to say to Mr Lieu. That's underhanded bullpoop attempted by the gentleman from California. It seems now that they still have no answer for her but to attempt to discredit her character or just silence her somehow.

You can do whatever you wish, if you want to trade Jack for a 2036 4th, do it.
Caution, the above trade might hurt your roster though, LOL.

GoFundMe suspended pro-Trump personality Candace Owens from its fundraising platform on Sunday, after Owens raised more than $200,000 on the site for an Alabama cafe whose owner called George Floyd a “thug.”

Yes, his other questions to other witnesses were edited out. I'm not sure how much time elapsed from when Mr Lieu's time was up to when the other rep called on her.
https://youtu.be/cpMZ8A3qVrs
This clip shows all of Mr Lieu's time

Edit; He actually looks even more foolish in this one, as it becomes more apparent that he's trying to paint this black woman as a Hitler loving, white supremacist sympathizer.

Here's the background story if you're interested. Gonna withhold judgement. https://www.al.com/life/2...eorge-floyd-protests.html

Apparently her video stuck in his head and in the heat of some moment, of which heated moments were said to happen often with him, he went off on Floyd, whom he called a "thug," and the protesters whom he called "idiots."

There's a lot to unpack and I'll need to do some research as to how and why Owens got involved. Thx for getting me to do some research on a subject I didn't know about.

Nationalism was a core tenant of Hitler's rise to power. It was the Motherland against the world for what they did to them after WWI. For her to not know that is pretty foolish.

I am a terrible person.

That’s been decided.

I support the Cheeto rather than one of THE MOST CORRUPT politicians the world has ever seen.

Even though I voted for neither.

Apparently changing your mind is abhorrent.

Unless one sides with a certain side.

Clearly I’m the @sshole.

Still waiting to be quoted.

I’ll still wait.

Is this the quote your looking for @cheetohank?
