OPINION:
On Feb. 23, Candace Owens released the trailer for her upcoming “investigative series,” called “The Bride of Charlie,” whereby she removes all doubt (if any remained) that she is either an unhinged, delusional moonbat or just plain evil.
Here is just a smattering of the loony nonsense Ms. Owens continues to peddle as she proves more and more every day that she is completely deranged.
Despite zero evidence to support her claims, Candace Owens persists in suggesting that Erika Kirk and/or other Turning Point USA insiders have been complicit in a broader plot and subsequent cover-up of Charlie Kirk’s murder. She continues to imply that Erika Kirk has “ulterior motives” in accepting the CEO position of TPUSA and claims that Mrs. Kirk’s leadership is suspicious, self-motivated and conspiratorial.
Finally, Ms. Owens argues that Mrs. Kirk’s tone, style and demeanor are inappropriate and that something is “off” in the way she conducts herself as the organization’s chief executive.
Ms. Owens then implies that Mrs. Kirk has a nefarious past life that could include “grooming,” and she accuses her of lying about her family history, her biological mother and her birth records. She then implies a link between Erika Kirk and some mysterious Romanian organization involved in child trafficking, even going so far as to place Mrs. Kirk’s image alongside her favorite whipping boy (those evil “Zionists”) and thus suggests some hidden web of conspiratorial connections aimed at world dominance and control.
If this stuff doesn’t convince you that Candace Owens is a nut job, there’s more — a lot more.
Over the past few months, this woman has proved that she will say and do just about anything for clicks, money and fame. She has said Israel was involved in the 9/11 attacks, that the Earth may be flat, that the United States never went to the moon, that dinosaur bones are not real, but rather manufactured in some remote factory, and that the French president’s wife is not a biological woman, but rather a man.
In addition to all this nuttery, Ms. Owens’ antisemitic rants know no bounds. She has actually argued that a secret cabal of Hollywood Jews was involved in the death of Michael Jackson, that the Anti-Defamation League was started to protect Jewish pedophiles, that Josef Stalin was a secret Jew with three Jewish wives, that the Star of David is a symbol for a child-sacrificing pagan God, and that Jews engage in human sacrifice every Passover by killing Christian children and using their blood in their ceremonial matzah.
Ms. Owens tops off all these Rorschach inkblot rants with claims that Jews orchestrated the Bolshevik Revolution as a genocide targeting Christians and that “Zionists” now want to assassinate her just like they did JFK.
Alisa Childers, the respected Christian author of “Another Gospel?” recently posted the following to her social media concerning Candace Owens’ ever-expanding list of outrageous claims and, more specifically, the vile gossip she presently foments against Erika Kirk:
“[Candace Owens’] deranged crusade shows no signs of stopping. [We all need to] spend time doing something edifying instead of watching this evil garbage. … [It is] a vicious and slanderous demonic attack … [and] if you are a Christian caught up in this, I tell you with love as a sister in Christ, you need to repent.”
Amen, Alisa Childers! Amen.
The Apostle Paul warned of all this some 2,000 years ago. More specifically, in his letters to Timothy and Titus, he told the first-century church that in the last days there will be people, even within the church (even within conservative circles) who are controlled by “deceitful spirits” and traffic in “irreverent and silly myths.”
He went on to say that these deceivers would be “puffed up” and “conceited,” that they would “crave controversy” and thrive on “dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction.” He then summarized all this by telling us to have “nothing to do with [the person who stirs up division], knowing that such a person is warped and sinful, [and] is self-condemned.”
Jesus warns us to “beware of false prophets who come to us in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Candace Owens is no lowly sheep, nor is she an innocent lamb who is “just asking questions.” She is a rabid wolf who seeks nothing less than to divide, devour and destroy the flock. Anyone listening to her does so to their own demise.
As Alisa Childers says, if you’re a sycophant of Candace Owens, then you “need to spend time doing something edifying instead of watching this evil garbage.” If you’re still tempted to give Candace Owens any credibility whatsoever, then you need to “repent.”
