Candace Owens is a 32-year-old college dropout who once sued her mayor’s son for racist threats but now insists there is no racism in the United States. Turning Point USA was forced to cut ties with the now conservative provocateur and professional social media troll when she said that the problem with Hitler was globalism because he should have focused on just making Germany great again instead of trying to expand into other countries.
Owens would like you to believe, despite her background and utter lack of medical education, that she knows more than the vast number of virologists and epidemiologists do about COVID-19 and all vaccines. She wants you to believe that so much that she sued Facebook for issuing a fact-check on one of her anti-vaccine posts.

‘The Delaware Supreme Court issued a 68-word order affirming the July dismissal of Owens’ contract interference suit against USA Today and Colorado company Lead Stories LLC, which both published articles in 2020 correcting Facebook posts she had made downplaying the severity of COVID.’
Twitter wasn’t all that impressed by Owens’ claims, either, nor her arguments about the vaccine. Instead of “conservative commentator,” most of Twitter just remembers her as a troll who insulted George Floyd after his death and spews homophobia and transphobia all over social media.
