Encuesta Noruega (Norstat 19nov): la ultraderecha, primera fuerza

Madre mía, a Candace Owens (la famosísima comentarista política trumpista negra) se le ha ido ya la pinza por completo desde que Ben Shapiro la despidió de The Daily Wire y ha montado su propio podcast independiente ella (al que por cierto le va de puta madre, tan solo en YouTube obtiene de media entre 400.000 y 3.000.000 de visualizaciones por video).

Agunos de sus puntos de vista políticos:

Jews and Judaism

Spoiler

Following her departure from the Daily Wire after she was accused of antisemitism, Owens downplayed the prevalence of antisemitism, stating that “people who are now screaming ‘antisemitism is everywhere!’ are actually just racial supremacists.”[167] According to Media Matters, Owens criticized Jordan Peterson for calling far-right commentator Nick Fuentes a “psychopathic rat” after Fuentes tweeted that Jews control the Biden administration. Owens suggested that Fuentes could be correct based on the number of Jewish officials appointed to the Biden Administration, saying that “it seems a weird tweet for [Peterson] to be so disturbed about.” Owens further referred to Fuentes as having “a very long background of focusing his attention on Israel and Zionism, and that’s what he is reacting to.”[168] Fuentes had previously praised Owens, saying she was waging “a full-fledged war against the Jews.”[169] Owens falsely claimed in an interview with Tristan Tate, brother of Andrew Tate, that Joseph Stalin was Jewish, and that Sigmund Freud and Stalinists were part of a Jewish cabal. Owens claimed that Freud studied Kabbalah and promoted pedophilia through psychoanalysis.[170]

In July 2024, Owens suggested that Ashkenazi Jews trace their origin to Khazars and are not related to “biblical Jews”. According to her, descendants of Khazars were “so immoral and so corrupt” that they were forced to convert to Judaism by Persians and Russians in the eighth century. However, they did not “meaningfully convert” and “carried on their corruption, carried on their sexual deviancy”. She suggested that “their religious teachings tell them to infiltrate everywhere” and “[their] elites are disgusting, despicable people”. Owens implied that the war in Ukraine is linked to the Khazars’ desire to seek revenge on Russia and Iran. She went on to blame instances of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church on them.[171][172]

During a live broadcast on August 18, 2024, Owens claimed that Leo Frank, a Jewish businessman who was wrongly convicted of murder and lynched in the US state of Georgia in August 17, 1915, had killed Mary Phagan as part of a ritual murder on Passover, again referencing blood libel. Owens further claimed there existed a “Frankish Cult…masquering behind Jews” that engages in pedophilia and incest “as sacramental rites”. She stated that there are “tens of thousands of pedophiles [who] hide from justice in Israel”.[173] Owens’s father-in-law Lord Farmer has publicly repudiated her repeated antisemitic remarks.[174][175] Owens was disinvited from a Trump campaign fundraiser in the summer of 2024 following criticism from Jewish groups.[176]

Owens has suggested that AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group, was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.[177][178]

Israel and Palestine

Spoiler

Owens is a critic of Israel and increasingly stridently expressed her negative views of the country during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[179] In October 2023, she criticized an Israeli strike on a church in Gaza, in which Christians were killed, tweeting “I have been disgusted by the propagandists pretending a Christian church was not bombed. Christians were killed. No Christian should stay silent”, and later “If you think it’s antisemitism to notice that innocent Christians were killed in an IDF bombing, then you need to log off.”[180] Clarifying her views in early November, Owens tweeted “No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever.”[181][180][179]

Her stance on Israel led to her break with Ben Shapiro, co-founder of The Daily Wire, the website for which Candace Owens then worked, contributing to her departing it in March 2024. Shapiro saw her position as increasingly antisemitic: Owens criticised US support for Israel, saying she did not believe “that American taxpayers should have to pay for Israel’s wars or the wars of any other country”, but also posted about “political Jews” and a “very small ring of specific people who are using the fact that they are Jewish to shield themselves from any criticism”, comments Shapiro described as “absolutely disgraceful”.[182][183]

Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany

Spoiler

At the launch of Turning Point’s British offshoot Turning Point UK in December 2018, Owens made comments about Adolf Hitler.[126] She was responding to an audience member who asked for a “long-term prognosis” about the terms “globalism” and “nationalism“. Owens said:[126][127]

I actually don’t have any problems at all with the word “nationalism”. I think that the definition gets poisoned by elitists that actually want globalism. Globalism is what I don’t want. Whenever we say “nationalism” the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler. You know, [Hitler] was a national socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted—he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. That’s not, to me, that’s not nationalism.

Following heavy criticism for her comments, Owens clarified them on Twitter and in a Judiciary Committee hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives in February 2019.[128] Owens said that “[Hitler] was a homicidal, psychopathic, maniac that killed his own people” and “[Hitler] was not a nationalist, [he] murdered his own people; a nationalist would not kill their own people”. She said that the point of her comments was to say that there is “no excuse or defense ever for … everything that [Hitler] did”.[126][129] She also said that her comments were about Hitler’s crimes against Jews.[128]

Owens’s comments about Hitler were played in April 2019 by Representative Ted Lieu during testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee about the issue of increasing hate crimes and white supremacy in America. Lieu said that he did not know Owens and was just going to let her own words characterize her, before playing the audio clip. Owens responded that Lieu had deliberately omitted an interviewer’s question that provided critical context to her words, with the intent of misrepresenting them as an endorsement of Hitler, to smear her reputation.[130] She concluded this testimony by stating her opinion Lieu was “assuming that black people will not pursue the full two hour clip” and that the full clip had been “purposefully extracted” in order to “create a different narrative.”[131] Donald Trump Jr. praised Owens on Twitter for “[calling] out the Dems on their purposeful manipulation of facts for their narrative”.[132]

In July 2024, Owens released an episode of the Candace Show on YouTube entitled “Literally Hitler. Why Can’t We Talk About Him?” During this episode, Owens criticized mainstream narratives regarding Nazi Germany, saying that education about the Nazis was indoctrination comparable to “Soviet tactics.” Owens further denied that Nazi medical experiments were carried out by Josef Mengele on concentration camp inmates, claiming the fact that such experiments occurred was “bizarre propaganda. The idea that they just cut a human up and then sewed them back together. Why would you do that? Even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s a tremendous waste of time and supplies.” Owens referred to the Holocaust as “an ethnic cleansing [that] almost took place,” while criticizing the expulsion of Germans after World War II, saying the Allies “actually did [an ethnic cleansing].”[133][134][135]

Science

Spoiler

Owens has stated that she does not believe in science which she described as a pagan faith. She stated, “I’m not a flat-earther. I’m not a round-earther.’ Actually, what I am is, I am somebody who has left the cult of science. I have left the megachurch of science because what I have now realized is that science—what it is actually, if you think about it—is a pagan faith.”[120]
