Candace Owens Confronts Congressional Hearing on White Supremacy: 'This Hearing is a Farce'

[00:00] I just have to say that I object

[00:02] strenuously to your use of the word

[00:04] hilarious to me this feels a lot like

[00:08] your reaction to being named and in one

[00:10] of these manifestos now you're of course

[00:13] not responsible for the words of

[00:15] somebody writing that document but I do

[00:17] think that laughing at it is a real

[00:20] problem because these are real families

[00:22] that are impacted by this violence and I

[00:25] think our efforts towards talking about

[00:27] this have to start from a place of

[00:28] mutual respect which is what I've heard

[00:30] from from this side of the table now the

[00:33] reason we don't have those numbers I

[00:35] want those numbers as much as you do but

[00:36] the number to say the numbers don't show

[00:38] something is simply not supported by the

[00:41] data okay and I have 38 seconds left

[00:44] miss Mulligan if you can if you want to

[00:46] respond within that time the only thing

[00:48] I would add is that it's in the name

[00:51] terrorism domestic terrorism it

[00:54] terrorizes us it terrorizes us in our

[00:57] homes it terrorizes us in our schools

[00:59] and and to the points made by the other

[01:03] panelists it is disproportionate to its

[01:07] impact on any individual life and it's

[01:09] not you reject the idea it's something

[01:10] that doesn't matter or it doesn't really

[01:12] matter

[01:13] okay all right so here's where we are

[01:15] every every member now has had five

[01:17] minutes in okay and mr. clay so we have

[01:21] two members who are not so I'm gonna go

[01:23] to the G members who have not yet and

[01:25] will give an opportunity for a closing

[01:27] thought to any member who wants before

[01:29] we get my next two responders mr. Matt

[01:31] mr. meadows mr. meadows okay mr. meadows

[01:33] and excellent mr. clay then to you mr.

[01:35] Drummond miss Owens obviously this is a

[01:39] gang up on you you know we're giving

[01:42] these witnesses the ability to do a

[01:45] rebuttal on you and so you know I I find

[01:50] it unfair miss Ballou I mean you know

[01:54] candidly for you to show mutual respect

[01:56] and then you to go after miss Owens it's

[01:57] not appropriate so Miss Owens you can

[02:00] have four minutes and 34 seconds to

[02:01] respond however I'll yield thank you I

[02:05] believe miss Owens when you use the word

[02:07] hilarious it was in it was referencing

[02:10] the fact that no one had asked you a

[02:11] question it wasn't to the subject matter

[02:13] of

[02:13] hearing is that right that is correct

[02:15] and for happened to have another witness

[02:16] insinuate something that is not accurate

[02:19] is just not appropriate mr. chairman for

[02:21] how witnesses are supposed to behave in

[02:22] front of this committee I also think you

[02:25] didn't say it doesn't matter about the

[02:26] subject matter of today's hearing you

[02:28] said there are other subjects that

[02:30] matter as well and maybe we should spend

[02:32] some time on those is that accurate that

[02:34] is correct and they matter much much

[02:36] much much more and I have said that I

[02:37] said that in my opening and I will say

[02:39] it again

[02:40] you know that white supremacy and white

[02:42] nationalism is nowhere near ranks

[02:44] nowhere near the top of the issues that

[02:46] are facing black America and the reason

[02:48] that you are bringing them up in this

[02:49] room is because it is attempt to make

[02:52] the election all about race as the

[02:53] Democrat in my case not carries arise my

[02:57] mode mr. chairman it's my time it's my

[03:00] time you've got your time mr. Moore

[03:02] second every four years you bring up

[03:04] race and you knew exactly what I meant

[03:06] when I said hilarious and you just tried

[03:08] to do live what the media does all the

[03:10] time to Republicans to our president and

[03:12] to conservatives but you tried to

[03:14] manipulate what I said to fit your

[03:16] narrative okay I was not referring to

[03:18] the subject matter that is hilarious I

[03:19] said it's hilarious that we are sitting

[03:22] in this room today and I've got two

[03:23] doctors and a missus and nobody can give

[03:25] us real numbers that we can respond to

[03:27] so we can assess how big of a threat

[03:29] this is because you know that it is not

[03:31] as big of a threat as you were trying to

[03:33] make it out to be so you can manipulate

[03:34] and the audacity of you to bring up the

[03:37] Christ Church shooting manifesto and

[03:39] make it seem as if I laughed at people

[03:42] that were slaughtered by a homicidal

[03:44] maniac maniac is in my opinion

[03:46] absolutely despicable and I think that

[03:48] we should be above that to try to assign

[03:50] reality or any meaning to a homicide

[03:52] homicidal maniac writing a manifesto

[03:54] which by the way let the record show

[03:57] also stated Spyro the Dragon the child's

[03:59] cartoon as a source of inspiration he

[04:02] also cited Nelson Mandela as a source of

[04:05] information I don't think I don't think

[04:06] that Nelson Mandela has inspired mosque

[04:08] shootings you can correct me if you

[04:10] think I'm wrong

[04:10] you won't you would rather assign

[04:12] meaning to a homicidal maniac than to

[04:15] actually address that I said to the

[04:17] things that I said today that are

[04:18] actually harming black America number

[04:20] one father absence number two the

[04:23] education system and the illiteracy rate

[04:24] illegal immigration ranks high aboard

[04:27] ranks high white supremacy and white

[04:29] nationalism if I had to make a list

[04:31] again of 100 things would not be on it

[04:34] this hearing in my opinion is a farce

[04:36] and it is ironic that you're sitting

[04:38] here and you're having three Caucasian

[04:40] people testify and tell you what their

[04:42] expertise are do I know my expertise are

[04:44] black in America I've been black in

[04:46] America my whole life all 30 years and I

[04:48] can tell you that you guys have done the

[04:49] exact same thing every four years ahead

[04:52] of an election cycle and it needs to

[04:53] stop oh I'll yield back

[04:57] Thank You mr. meadows and now
