Candace Owens addressing the House Oversight Joint Subcommittee on the impact of white supremacy on black Americans Summary of testimony: She said it is "not a problem."
Short video clip on her reaction to Christchurch manifesto w/transcript Sept 20, 2019
[She starts by disputing another witness' interpretation of what she said earlier about the Christchurch shooter's manifesto:]
The audacity of you to bring up the Christchurch shooting manifesto and make it seem as if I laughed at people that were slaughtered by a homicidal maniac is, in my opinion, absolutely despicable--and I think that we should be above that.
[Now addressing the Committee, she makes the point that the Christchurch manifesto has no real meaning:]
To try to assign reality or any meaning to a homicidal maniac writing a manifesto, which by the way also cited Spiro the Dragon, the child's cartoon, as a source of inspiration-- He also cited Nelson Mandela!...I don't think that Nelson Mandela has inspired mosque shootings. You would rather assign meaning to a homicidal maniac than to actually address...the things that I said today that are actually harming black Americans....
This hearing, in my opinion, is a farce. And it is ironic that you're sitting here and you're having three Caucasian people testify and tell you what their [areas of] expertise are. Do you want to know what my area of expertise...[is]?
Black in America. I've been black in America my whole life--all 30 years....You guys [the Dems] have done the exact same thing every four years ahead of an election cycle. And it needs to stop.
