Candace Owens Just Lit Trump Up—And She’s Not Holding Back!

Candace Owens, once one of Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, is now publicly challenging him over what she sees as a betrayal of conservative values. In a recent video, Owens criticized the Trump administration’s actions against free speech in universities, particularly targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

“I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university above Donald J. Trump and his administration, but I don’t recognize his administration right now,” Owens stated.

She expressed concern that the administration’s efforts to suppress DEI programs are veering into dangerous territory, potentially stifling free expression. Owens emphasized the importance of protecting speech, even in institutions traditionally viewed with skepticism by conservatives.

“When you threaten our speech, it’s not worth it so that we can have pom-poms and go hurrah for a couple of years,” she warned, highlighting the long-term implications of such policies.

Owens’ remarks signify a notable shift in her stance, reflecting growing tensions within conservative circles regarding the direction of Trump’s policies. Her call to “root for Harvard University in this fight” underscores the complexity of current debates over free speech and ideological diversity.
