Recently conservative pundit, Candace Owens on an episode of her podcast called For More
Discrimination here in the United States. And she was specifically talking about transgender
and non-binary individuals. So I'm gonna read to you what Candace Owens said on her podcast
where she not only called for more discrimination against people, but also proudly proclaimed
that she discriminates against people all the time. So here's what she had to say. I
discriminate. I feel like I want to get that off my chest. I'm already feeling lighter,
quite frankly. I think we need to discriminate. I discriminate all the time. Um, she said
she definitely discriminates against men that paint their nails and wear dresses. I don't
really care how you feel about that. Wear your dress and you can paint your nails. But
I'd prefer you keeping a hundred feet away from a playground and all of the feet away
from my children and me. If I see you, I'm going to cross the street if I'm with my kids.
You know what? I'm gonna stop right there for just a moment because you're once again,
perpetuating this Republican lie that somehow gender neutral, gender fluid, non-binary,
or even transgender people are somehow a threat to children.
Have you even looked at the news from the past week? How about you go look at more Catholic
church scandals where priests were raping little boys? Because there was another big
story about that just a couple days ago. So you want to talk about the people that are
actually a threat to children. How about you go look at these churches out there. The Southern
Baptist Convention, huge scandal earlier this year. Republicans totally silent on it because
they don't wanna address the real people that are out there preying on children because
most of them happen to be an organized religion here in the United States. And what side of
the is does organized religion typically fall on Candace? I I think it's yours. I I think
your party is the one that loves to wrap itself up in the cross, which I guess would mean
that your party is the one that is more of a threat to children now, isn't it?
And I also love the fact that they always say, oh, the, the transgender community, the
drag queens, the gender fluid folks, they're, they're so dangerous to children. Really?
How come y'all can't point to news report after news report of a a, a gender fluid person
or a drag queen or a transgender individual molesting children? I, if it's so common,
as you say, show us the news reports, show us the arrest records. Show us all these bad
things that you swear to God are happening, but you have no evidence to back any of it
up. But of course, your audience is stupid. You are not stupid. You know exactly what
you're doing, Candace, but your audience about as dumb as you can possibly get. So they're
not gonna take the time to do the research to easily prove that you're lying to yourself.
She continues. I don't want a dentist with bad teeth. I don't want Lizzo being my trainer.
I am going to discriminate against somebody that is clinically obese. They're never gonna
get me healthy. And so when we get that feeling, my mother used to refer to it as the heebie-jeebies.
When someone just gives you the heebie-jeebies jeebies, even if you can't quite put your
finger on why, I think you need to lean into that. And I actually think that society would
be safer if we discriminated more,
If
We discriminated more. Have you looked in a mirror? Do you realize that there are far
too many people in this country who base solely on your skin color would cross the street
to avoid getting near you because they're afraid of you, only because of your skin color.
And you, you are calling for more discrimination. It's a slippery slope, Candace, and you need
to knock this crap off. You also need to learn your history, by the way, because it wouldn't
that long ago where a person who looked like you was discriminated against legally. You
wouldn't have been able to go into a certain restaurant. You wouldn't have been able to
use certain water fountains. Do you not know this? So how can you stand there and tell
people we need more discrimination, that maybe we need to go back to this because I understand
you're right, everybody discriminates. I'll give you that. Whether you think you do or
you do not. She is right. Not necessarily against somebody because of their sexuality
or because the color of their skin, but some of the other things she pointed out, like
you wouldn't go to a dentist with bad teeth.
There's probably certain areas of, of, of places you've driven through where you lock
your doors and you tell your kids to, you know, kind of put your heads down a little
bit. Be honest, you've all done it. I've seen my own parents do it. My mother still does
it and she considers herself very liberal.
But
What Candace is calling for is more of
That
Without stopping to think for a second, the slippery slope that puts
Us on.
Because she is also in the crosshairs of too many racist people in this country just because
of the color of her skin. And she thinks that spouting right wing talking points is going
to exempt her from their hatred and their bigotry.
It is not,
She'll realize that one day,
But the damage will have already been done by that point and
She will have helped cause that damage.
