Candace Owens lauds Trump’s stand as ‘actual feminism’, Internet says, ‘give up, you'll never be wife no.4’

'If you guys are wondering what actual feminism is, it’s Donald Trump having the courage to stand up on stage and call out the insanity of biological men dominating women’s sports'

Candace Owens has never shied away from showing her appreciation for former President Donald Trump. Initially, the conservative author was critical of the Republican leader and his party but eventually started supporting him. She became a prominent critic of Black Lives Matter and also associated herself with the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA between 2017 and 2019 as its communications director.

Recently, Owens took her support for Trump to another level as she claimed in a tweet that he is the kind of feminist that people should look up to for inspiration. The 31-year-old tweeted, “If you guys are wondering what actual feminism is, it’s Donald Trump having the courage to stand up on stage and call out the insanity of biological men dominating women’s sports. He never kowtows to the Left. #CPAC2021 #CPAC.”

Soon her tweet went viral with more than 9,000 retweets and over 50,000 likes. Hundreds of people commented on it as one user sarcastically said, “Give up Candace. You'll never be wife #4.” Another user questioned, “Then why does he lie about it? Not a single women’s weightlifting record is held by a born male, and none has been improved by 50 pounds ever. Also every major sports association has clear rules about female athletes. They don’t allow anyone born male.”

A person noted, “But they aren’t men, they are women. What about the women who dominate men sports? The double standard is baffling.” “Conservatives have NEVER been leaders of feminist movements. Ever. And when they claim to be, it’s never with womens interest in mind. This a pathetic lie to justify your comfort, and it’s insulting to call it feminism when it’s intention is to control peoples bodies,” another tweeted.

A person with the username @futbolbabe said, “Feminism is about equality, it is not an us vs them thing.” Another person noted, “But I thought you all wanted "gender equality"? So why shouldn't men and women compete side by side? Suddenly you now want to separate them, but why? Let them compete together!” “Candace described feminism as Donald Trump..... If you hadn’t already abandoned assuming validity in what she says, this should definitely be the statement that does it,” a user added.

Earlier in February, Owens was slammed for her another tweet regarding January 6 riots that read, “I don’t know what’s more bizarre — The fact that D.C is still basically under military occupation and Biden’s confirmed plans to keep the national guard here through to March, or the fact that there are still people who believe this has anything to do with January 6th." Her words resulted in a huge backlash from the social media users as one person said, “Your lunacy knows no bounds! They are here to keep you and your white Christian Republicans from killing, assaulting, and trying everything to destroy democracy. Try using your undeserved platform to champion for health equity, Police reform, valuing Black lives, anti-racism!"

Another one added: “1. If there wasn't a deadly attack by Trump supporters there wouldn't be 'military occupation' in DC 2. Without Trump and his enablers (Candace, Kirk, Hannity, Cruz, Tucker, etc) there wouldn't have been an attack on the Capitol. Candace are you proud of your place in history?"
