Candace Owens has been voicing her controversial opinion regarding George Floyd, attacking his character and claiming that he was "not an amazing person." She is continuing her disrespectful remarks by doubling down on them, heading to Twitter and telling her network that they should not be celebrating his life.
American conservative commentator and Trump supporter Candace Owens struck a nerve with her recent comments. She commented during George Floyd's memorial service in Minneapolis to speak her mind even further, causing even more of a divide.
"Ghosted by Meghan Markle. Ghosted by President Trump. Treading to remain relevant by pretending to care about black American issues that he knows nothing about," she said about Piers Morgan after he dissed her for her take. "@piersmorgan — keep your white savior bullshit to yourself."
She then went on to take aim at Joe Biden, while also continuing her contemptuous remarks about Floyd.
"And a former VP @JoeBiden will attend his funeral to honor him," she started. "Imagine the black woman who survived this attack while pregnant. People are out here painting murals of him. It’s too much. Derek Chauvin should be imprisoned, but we should not be honoring #GeorgeFloyd."
Needless to say, her recent social activity has painted her even further as somebody that stands in front of those wishing for progress.
Piers Morgan Says Donald Trump "Is Failing American People"
Piers Morgan puts Donald Trump’s crisis leadership on blast, accusing his friend of “failing” American people.
Piers Morgan has made many enemies throughout his tenure as a journalist, pundit, and America’s Got Talent host. Yet Morgan’s tendency to speak his own brand of blunt honesty no matter the political alignment has earned him a loyal fanbase across the board. Today, Morgan sat down for an interview with CNN, who praised his willingness to put pressure on British politicians over their poor leadership whilst in a crisis.
As it happens, Morgan’s hard line of questioning was not reserved for European politicians. As he explains, both the United Kingdom and the United States have two populist leaders, who have been forced to pivot from “partisan politics to war crisis leadership.” Drawing a comparison between Trump and Johnson, Morgan criticizes both men for proving unable to make the pivot.

“I’ve known [Donald Trump] a long time, I consider him to be a friend,” admits Morgan. “But I’ve been watching these briefings with mounting horror. This is not what the president should be doing. The president of the United States right now is an incredibly important person in the world. Not least to Americans who are dying by the tens of thousands to a virus we don’t know much about. They have to be calm, they have to show authority, they have to be honest. They have to be accurate, entirely factual, and they have to have empathy. On almost every level of that, Donald Trump at the moment is failing the American people.”
Morgan goes on to say that Trump’s briefings have been “overly defensive,” feeling closer to one of his rallies. Is the criticism fair? Donald Trump, a personal favorite among self-described contrarians among other demographics, has basically absolved himself of all blame and responsibility pertaining to the COVID-19 outbreak. As many publications have pointed out, Donald Trump previously described the coronavirus to be the “Democrats’ new hoax.” Do you feel he has been handling the crisis adequately? Or have political alignments and grudges run so deep as to completely overshadow the objective truth?
