She was a strong supporter of Trump during his presidency, and has used her platform to instill fear in society, distrust of the government, and skepticism of the media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her confidence in her own beliefs on stage, often taking down teenagers and students for their non-traditional beliefs and LGBTQIA+ life-choices, is the primary cause of her fame &#8211; hard-talking and direct speaking. Her intelligence, however, is indisputable. Candance has an uncanny ability to control the narrative and turn it into her favour, just like the best propagandists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of Ukraine, Candance has been spewing Kremlin narratives, willingly or unwillingly, in the name of traditional values since the start of the full-scale war. She often tells how she doesn\u2019t care about Ukraine \u201cWhy should I?\u201d, telling how America needs to get &#8220;its house in order first&#8221; before going abroad and being the \u201csavior.&#8221; Moreover, she spares no effort to not hide her hatred for Zelensky the enemy, and the \u201cbeggar\u201d stealing American taxpayers&#8217; money and sending men off to die in the war Putin started &#8211; rather similar to Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She refuses to call out Putin&#8217;s hostile acts, instead equating Zelensky to Putin, cheer-picking the facts and claiming Ukraine is far more unlawful than Russia, even though Putin has been killing dissidents, political opponents, and its own men if they refuse to fight in its wars for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who<\/strong>: Candace Owens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Political Affiliation<\/strong>: Conservative\/Traditional Christian Values<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Known for<\/strong>: Wanting to \u201cPunch Zelensky in the face\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>It\u2019s pretty obvious it\u2019s just a money laundering operation.
