The Absurd GOP

[Pat Mustard]

I've seen in the news that Candace Owens was fired by the Daily Wire despite her abject sucking up to Ben Shapiro and the other inadequate white men working with her. Ostensibly it's because of a months old tweet that, if you squinted really hard and were extremely paranoid about any criticism of Israel (both attributes Shapiro admittedly displays in spades), criticised Israel's genocide in Gaza.

But if you look at what Candace was doing leading up to her sacking, a different picture emerges. Turns out Candace was invited onto a number of black podcasts to discuss her politics and to try and convince her how wrong she is (the linked article does a good idea of showing how bad an idea that is). This really pissed Shapiro off because two things he really hates are 1) black culture being visible and showing that black people are as good as anybody else and 2) his minions plugging or helping show other talent that is (in this case significantly) better than he is.

PS Not that I'm sympathetic to Owens, neo-nazi that she is.
