Candace Owens Exposes Democratic Fear Mongering Strategy at White Nationalism Congressional Hearing Testimony

Candace Owens delivered powerful testimony before Congress, challenging the premise of a hearing on white nationalism and hate crimes. Drawing on her grandfather's experiences in the segregated South and her own assault by Antifa in Philadelphia, Owens argued that the hearing represented Democratic fear-mongering rather than genuine concern. She confronted what she sees as manipulated statistics and accused Democrats of using racial division as an election strategy while ignoring the real crises facing black communities today.

Opening Remarks: A Personal Connection to Real Hate

Candace Owens began her congressional testimony with a revelation that caught journalists off guard. She disclosed that she herself was the victim of a hate crime during high school, a fact largely unknown because, as she stated, the media and the left are not interested in telling the truth about her. Owens attributed this silence to the fact that she doesn't fit the stereotype of what they'd like to see in black people—she's a Democrat who supports the President of the United States and advocates for issues actually affecting the black community.

Owens emphasized the honor of testifying with her 75-year-old grandfather sitting behind her. She considers herself her grandfather's child, crediting him for her sense of humor, passion, and work ethic. This personal connection would frame the powerful historical contrast she was about to draw.

A Grandfather's Story: When Racism Had Real Meaning

Owens painted a vivid picture of her grandfather's upbringing on a sharecropping farm in the segregated South. He grew up in an America where words like racism and white nationalism held real meaning under the Democrat Party's Jim Crow laws. His first job came at age five—laying tobacco out to dry in an attic in the South. He picked cotton and had direct experiences with what Owens called the Democrat terrorist organization of that time: the Ku Klux Klan.

The Klan would regularly visit his home and shoot bullets into it because of an issue they had with his father, Owens' great-grandfather. Despite these traumatic experiences, Owens revealed something shocking to the committee: not once, in a single breath of conversation, did her grandfather tell her she could not do something because of her skin color. He never held a gripe against the white man. She was simply never taught to view herself as a victim because of her heritage. Instead, she learned about faith in God, family, and hard work—the only lessons of her childhood.

The Impossible Argument: America Then vs. Now

Owens challenged the committee with a fundamental assertion: there isn't a single adult who in good conscience could argue that America is a more racist or more white nationalist society than it was when her grandfather was growing up. Yet these terms are being sent around today because, she argued, what they want to say is that brown people need to be scared—a narrative that seems to emerge every four years, right ahead of a presidential election.

The Real Crisis: Statistics We Never Hear

Owens shifted focus to what she called the real issues never addressed in committee hearings:

  • 75% of black boys in California don't meet state reading standards
  • In inner cities like Baltimore, within five high schools and one middle school, not a single student was found to be proficient in math or reading in 2016
  • The single motherhood rate in the black community has skyrocketed from 23% in the 1960s when her grandfather was coming up to a staggering 74% today
  • More black babies are aborted than born alive in cities like New York, while Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo lights up buildings to celebrate late-term abortions

Owens guessed there would be no committee hearings about these issues. She could go on and on, she said, but her point was clear: white nationalism isn't doing any of those things she just brought up. Democrat policies did.

The Real Purpose of the Hearing

Owens delivered her central argument: the hearing was not about white nationalism or hate crimes. It's about fear-mongering, power, and control. It's a preview of a Democrat 2020 election strategy, the same as the Democrat 2016 election strategy. Democrats blame Facebook, Google, and Twitter—they blame the birth of social media, which has disrupted their monopoly on minds.

She argued they called this hearing because they believe that if it wasn't for social media, voices like hers would never exist. Her movement, Blexit, which is inspiring black Americans to leave the Democrat Party, would have never come about. And they certainly believe that Donald Trump would not be in office today, looking for the next thing to focus on now that the Russian collusion hoax has fallen apart.

Manipulated Statistics and Widened Definitions

Owens challenged the credibility of the statistics being presented on the rise of white nationalism. What they won't tell you, she stated, is that they've simply changed the data set points by widening the definition of hate crimes and upping the number of reporting agencies that are able to report on them. In plain language: they're manipulating statistics.

The goal, she argued, is to scare blacks, Hispanics, gays, and Muslims into helping them censor dissenting opinions, ultimately helping them regain control of the country's narrative, which they feel they lost. They feel that President Donald Trump should not have beaten Hillary Clinton.

The Antifa Attack: Violence the Media Ignored

If they were actually concerned about white nationalism, Owens argued, they would be holding hearings on Antifa—a far-left violent white gang. She recounted a personal experience from Philadelphia in August when Antifa determined that she, a black woman, was not fit to sit in a restaurant. They chased her out, yelling "race traitor" to a group of black and Hispanic police officers who formed a line to protect her from their ongoing assaults. They threw water at her, threw eggs at her, and the leftist media remained silent on it.

If they were serious about the rise of hate crimes, she suggested, they might perhaps be examining themselves and the hate that they have drummed up in this country.

Election Strategies and Handouts

Owens delivered a stark assessment: white supremacy, racism, and white nationalism—words that once held real meaning—have now become nothing more than election strategies. Every four years, the black community is offered handouts and fear: reparations and white nationalism. This is the Democrats' preview.

Of course, society is not perfectible, she acknowledged. There are pockets of evil that exist, and those things are horrible and should be condemned. But she believes the legacy and ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day.

Refusing Victimhood

Owens made clear she will not pretend to be a victim in this country, knowing that makes many people on the left uncomfortable. She wants to talk about real issues in black America, real issues in this country, and real concerns.

The biggest scandal in American politics, she concluded, is that Democrats have been conning minorities into believing that we are perpetual victims, all but ensuring our failure. Racial division and class warfare are central to the Democrat Party platform: teaching blacks to hate whites, the rich to hate the poor, and soon enough, it'll be the tall hating the short.
