In her endless, yet ineffective smear campaigns against Vice President Harris, Owens has taken her greatest (and dumbest) leap yet: she’s insisting that Harris’ grandmother is a fake. You read that right! Specifically, Owens claims that the Black woman in Harris’ memoir is– get this – not her real grandmother. And one can only hope that she took a few stretches before making such an outlandish reach.
And the Golden Globe goes to…
On her laughably delirious podcast Candace, the far right host and perpetual nuisance brought up new “evidence” contesting Kamala Harris’ Blackness. She professed to her equally deluded followers that she had discovered “footage” of a Jamaican woman refuting Kamala’s ties to her Black, Jamaican mother, Beryl. The unknown Jamaican woman, who Owens claimed “adored Kamala’s grandma Beryl,” attested that “the Beryl she knew, was white.”
Out of her little puddle of self-hate, Owens has clearly reemerged for her biggest joke yet. On the podcast, she attached the aforementioned footage, which begs the question of how and when she was able to these nonsensical claims. As Owens made faces reminiscent of a jester searching for approval from the noblemen in court, it was yet another stark reminder that she is willing to grasp at straws, in search of a pat on the back. However, what hurts the most is that Owens is only at home when fueling anti-Black rhetorics. It’s extra confusing when you take into Kamala’s Jamaican father, Donald Harris. In his 2018 essay, Reflections of a Jamaican Father, Donald speaks fondly of both his daughter Kamala, and his mother, Beryl.
While it would take forever to dive into Owens’ audacity, which she evidently has excess of, her malicious attempts to discredit Harris’ Blackness are awfully laughable. For one, beyond the need to make Black people look bad in front of her followers, Owens particularly loves to discredit the heritage of mixed women. Take Meghan Markle, who Owens insisted was not “Black enough to be a victim of racism.”
Give it up, Candace…
As Kamala Harris continues to strive for the Oval Office, Owens remains in her chair, crossing her fingers for a seat at the table. Ironically, she will never earn a spot, especially as she looks to racist bigots for acceptance. Her viewership thrives on successfully riling up a conservative group of anti-Black paraders, and while they’ve propelled her to some semblance of success, she’s still evidently sad.
At the center of it all, is a woman with a warped view of journalism. In her multiple attempts to damage Black credibility in America, she’s lost her way. But deep down, Candace Owens realizes this irrefutable fact– which is why she has strategically positioned herself where she is. Every now and then, she takes advantage of centuries of Black comion, and knows that she will never truly be cancelled. However, her latest rhetoric is ludicrous. But isn’t that what Candace Owens is after all? A ludicrous woman, with no true command of journalistic expertise, who has secured her position by simply talking trash.
