The conservatives who worship her are the ones with the least exposure to her. I watch a lot of Daily Wire and her presence was extremely low. I was in a discussion with my father who is a ~75 year old Fox News/WSJ/Newsmax consumer about how black people were a lost cause for Republicans and he kind of angrily retorted something about "we have Candace Owens." I'm sure he'd seen 10 minutes combined of Candace Owens just delivering her snappy sound bites. The reality is delivering conservative messaging with a black face is something people want and will pay for.
angrily retorted something about "we have Candace Owens."
A commentator?
No Clarence Thomas, who represents us in the Supreme Court? No Ben Carson, who did good work for Trump? No Larry Elder, who was Gavin Newsome's main opposition in California's recall election? You know, people actually in the fight?
His point wasn't that Candace Owens is the only black conservative but that she signaled a shift in black people more broadly joining the conservative movement/changing their voting behavior (the promises of her BLEXIT nonsense).
EDIT: I'd compare it to how some executives desperately grab on to the idea that you can take something that fundamentally appeals to men/boys and tweak it to bring in women/girls without ruining the original. It's an intoxicating idea just like the idea of black people not voting 85%+ for Democrats.
Because most normie conservatives are still in the "I need to do everything I can to not appear to be racist" camp. Worshiping black conservatives is part of that whole shtick for them.
We have Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump to thank for elevating her.
Shapiro gave her a job at the Daily Wire and Trump gave Owens the early media exposure by letting her interview him.
What a terrible mistake.
She is the ultimate grifter. She duped Trump into wasting a lot of his 2020 campaign money on her useless BLEXIT instead of outreach to Latinos and White men.
I used to think they could get more blacks to vote red but after 2020 my own dad said the GOP shouldn’t spend another dime on black outreach. I agree. Like you said I think Latinos and Asians make a lot more sense and you can’t ignore your largest supporters Whites. I think around 10% of blacks will vote conservative and that’s about all they will ever get. If that changes I’ll reconsider my position but that is where I stand.
I welcome people of any race voting for the GOP but the reality is that American born Black people will generally vote for the Democrats for one major reason.
They see the GOP as the racist White party and no amount of outreach will get us more than 10 percent of Blacks voting for the GOP.
They will vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. Just how it is and how it sadly will remain.
Woah, Candace Owens is a ball-breaking relationship destroying snake? Who else knew but Gamergate? Oh, it was everyone but DW?

Media is a cult.

Seriously sad that he listed Candace Owens.
Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Ben Carson and Larry Elder are all excellent conservatives who just also happen to be Black.

Candace Owen is the least qualified black conservative. She's an intellectual midget

There has been a slight shift but it'll never reach a significant level
Lol dude did you actually watch the video. No he is making his divorce public and calling out Owen's clear attempt at taking a dig at his divorce
One of the few blacks that isn’t completely retarded
I mean, she’s still retarded. Just not completely
They knew. That's why they hired her.
