    She added in another post to Shapiro: "You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now

    Oh Candace… You have some googling to do if you think it’s only been weeks.

    This is the first time in a long time where you can say “no matter who loses, we win,” instead of the other way around.

    Owens tweeted:

    No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever. There is no justification for a genocide. I can’t believe this even needs to be said or is even considered the least bit controversial to state.

    That is what drew the ire of Shapiro.

    “The question is about Candace Owens,” Shapiro said in the video posted to X by user @LoomerLs. “I think her behavior during this has been disgraceful, without a doubt.”

    Shapiro’s answer was met with applause from the audience, followed by his acknowledgment that Owens “still works at my company.”

    “I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous,” Shapiro added. “Everybody can see the moves that she’s making and the things that she’s saying, and I find them disreputable.”

        Just using the term “faux sophistication” is faux sophistication if I’ve ever seen it.

          yeah we all give our selves away, why would he even be thinking about the topic of trying to act smart? I used to ride a train to work and one morning a man was wearing those old timey boards with suspenders and messages about repenting and god. He kept yelling about the bible, it was really uncomfortable and I bet he was the biggest sinner of us all, what would motivate someone to do that?

        For sure it could. There is always at least one thing that they disagree on. When one of them is a woman, it happens by itself.

    I mean, why would boy-hitler hate a black person who is also a woman? Does he not see that she agrees with him that only conservative straight white men are jesus’ chosen leaders for planet earth and that non-conservatives should be slaughtered wholesale?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
