Political commentator and conservative author Candace Owens, wrote an op-ed for The Daily Wire, in which she explained one of the reasons why she, in collaboration with The Daily Wire, launched her own talk-show ‘Candace,’ which is set to premiere on March 19th.
“One of the reasons I’m launching a new show with The Daily Wire is to provide a place where silenced voices are allowed to speak, where things like family, faith, and freedom can be championed unapologetically, and all the PC nonsense is tossed where it deserves to be: the ash heap of history,” she said.
“One thing I can promise you’ll never get from me on the show is a copy and pasted apology. If I make a mistake, I’ll own it and keep moving forward. And I will certainly never apologize for being an authentic individual — because that’s never a mistake.”
The BLEXIT founder also outlined how the mainstream media has portrayed in a completely different light, which is far from what the real Candace Owens is actually about.
“The media has done a really good job of creating a caricature of Candace Owens,” she said.
“If you get all your news from establishment sites, you’ll find a Candace who’s always on the defense, angry, outraged, upset. But that just couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a wife, a mother, a friend, a sister. People I’ve worked with have frequently told me they’re surprised to discover that I have a sense of humor, yet humor is one of the qualities that defines me. But the reality of who I am has been completely stripped away in this age of media propaganda that’s intent on casting people as either good or evil, woke or bigot.”
She also explained that people are getting censored more and more for expressing their views.
“Every few days we see a new viral story in which someone just minding their own business has been shoved into the brutal spotlight. They are not prepared to defend themselves against the onslaught, and so, we often see them cave to the cancel culture.”
Candace said that she just wants to be herself without having to self-censor her speech just to please the “bullying culture.” At the end of the day, that’s all we all want, she added.
“But we’re told that this is exactly not what we are supposed to be — that we are not supposed to be ourselves. You are a woman, so you need to be this, we’re told. You are a man, so you need to be this. You are white, black, lesbian, gay, trans, so you need to be whatever the woke tell you to be. And people have allowed themselves to be bullied into obedience.”
“We are in a crucial moment. None of this — the bullying, shaming, forced apologies — were defining features of our culture a decade ago. We must stand up and say I’m here, I’m a conservative and I’m not apologizing. I’m doing it. Join me,” she concluded.
