Comments by "Birdiegirl" (@birdiegirl1622) on "Russell Brand OBLITERATES Candace Owens On Socialism" video.

@ToriZealot She's repeatedly minimized racism and has said a few times that she never thought about race until Obama was elected blaming him for "bringing racism back" when she was the victim of it the year before he was elected.

@paulstewart11 and she says she didn’t think about racism until Obama “ brought it back” when he was elected a year after her harassment

@capnmooseknuckle she does call herself a victim of racism though, she called the cops over a mean tweet calling it a hate crime and claimed to be the victim of segregation in Phila when protested with C Kirk

@ToriZealot your tribalism is showing

she debated Ball and got unhinged and really nasty

@jamiehopkins3796 I don't like it either but Elder talking about reparations for slave owners and Owen's trashing black people when they get murdered by cops and vigilantes...

@makeamericagreatagain3401 Conservatives hate her too! And why shouldn’t someone like her be criticized, call it attacked to make her sound like a victim if you prefer but seriously, if you have been aware of her for more than a week you know she’s a vile person who will say anything to please the GOP no matter how dishonest , but she should be spared ridicule? She used to be just hateful and divisive but became dangerous when covid struck, called it an election stunt then when it didn’t go away after Nov 4 th as she predicted she switched to vaccine conspiracies, she has likely caused people to get sick or even die with the “ hoax” indefensible but here you are

@south6bt “ the left”? people on the right have built their careers around it, what are you talking about? Ann Coulter, Michael Savage!, Owens, Lahren, Trump ! On social media right wingers call people nasty names all the time, they often have “ Christian” in their bio’s which makes their viscous rhetoric even worse.

@contrarygirl I listened to him over the years, I’d play a game I’d turn on his show and hear him say “ the mainstream media isn’t talking about this, you’ll only hear it from me for ex some detail about the Monica Lewinski scandal so I’d turn to NPR and they’d be talking. about it, happened all the time and his fans believed him. He lied , was a huge hypocrite, a nasty “ Christian” and his fans saw him as a wonderful honest guy, same with Owens, they tune out all of her hypocrisy and even pretend she never name calls or says half the things she’s said in public
3
@ToriZealot she’s said repeatedly that racism isn’t a problem, she’s testified in congress twice for the GOP to minimize it, it’s odd how her fans defend her by pretending she didn’t say what we’ve heard her say over and over. She denies racism when it affects other people but claims to be a victim of it herself all the time. Why do you support her ?
3
@ToriZealot who’s lying? she has said the things people say she said, she testified twice in congress, she’s tweeted about it. Are you stuck on the words, did she not say “ there’s absolutely no racism at all” she’s said things very similar and has spent her career negating the problem of racism, that’s the truth, sorry if it goes against your narrative. Why aren’t you criticizing the person who said they never thought about race blaming Obama when it’s public record that she was the victim of racism so bad that she couldn’t go to school, became anorexic, cried for months ( all her words) and was awarded with a 35 k settlement with the help of the NAACP? It happened a year before he was elected. She’s lied about it several times. But you’re upset with people pointing out her blatant lie. How odd.
3
@ToriZealot I have no team, ironically Owens is the one who spends most of her time being a partisan and vilifying the other side “ dems hate God, Jews etc” I gave you a detailed response explaining why I criticize one person based on things she’s said and you’re response is that I’m tribal. You’re spinning yourself defending her, why?
3
@ToriZealot I don’t even understand what you’re talking about. I criticized one person and you accused me of being a tribalist. You’ve read a lot into my critique of her. It is odd that you’ve made so many assumptions in the course of defending someone who you say you don’t really support. I asked you to at least address the original criticism of her that she blamed Obama for racism and lied about never thinking about racism until he was elected. But I watch The Majority report...odd...
3
@ToriZealot you’re putting a lot of energy into it. What’s your motivation for judging and scolding people for criticizing her?
3
@ToriZealot you seem to be, and you never explained how someone criticizing one person is evidence of tribalism
3
I think I get where you’re coming from, you told someone they made a false statement and when corrected you took it personally, so it’s not about her it’s about you being corrected, accusations of “ tribalism” comes from a couple people agreeing with each other and telling you you’re wrong.
3
@lindat.7520 He has said some horrible things, but then so has Trump so there's hypocrisy on both sides. Owens has repeatedly lied saying Trump was never called a racist until 2015 when he's been called that since the 70's when he was charged with racist housing discrimination.

@south6bt funny too in a thread comparing a new nasty right winger to Limbaugh who made a career off nastiness...you need a little self awareness dude
2
@kei2142 she made a PU video about the black card and uses it all the time, made a video telling celebs to stop talking about politics then got two shows where she interviews celebs about their political views, critics call her inconsistent and hypocritical and her fans call them racist!
2
Can you be honest for a minute and stop making broad accusations and address her blaming Obama for racism? Just one concrete example that’s been given, can you defend it like her supporters do or deny that she said it? Again, no broad over generalizations about me just focus on what she said, that’s the original comment that you reacted to.
2
Oops...someone else told me that my views are not valid because I watch that show, someone else trying desperately to defend Owens without acknowledging what she said.
2
@ToriZealot last time, you’re accusing people of tribalism because they’re criticizing one person, you won’t explain why you’re doing that, and people presented facts which you ignore or deny. You maintain that she never said racism isn’t a problem?
2
@seanrambo7824 exactly
2
@seanrambo7824 while claiming to not be defending Owens! Just calling out “ tribalism” I guess that means “when two or more people agree with a comment “
2
@DosAleph She says there's no systemic racism in the justice system so why would she have a problem with the crime bill? She does use it to say Biden is racist for mass incarceration of black people but then she also says black people commit most of the crime...its almost like she has no idea what she's talking about

@lindat.7520 I’m not a Biden supporter, Trump supporters deny that Trump has made racist comments, I agree with you completely about the media, but surely you’ve heard Trump supporters quote Biden and say that Trump has never said or done anything racist?
1
or are you admitting that Trump supporters lie about him not saying and doing racist things? Biden has made racist comments but Trump has taken racist actions, housing discrimination, birtherism , the add asking for the death penalty for minority teens, refusing later to accept their exoneration.
1
@lindat.7520 again I agree with you about the media and Biden, and maybe you’re right that deep down Trump supporters know that he’s racist but I doubt that. They have convinced themselves that he’s not and will never waver. So they point out Biden’s racist comments and pretend Trump never made any just like people on the left deny Biden’s.
1
I have friends who support Biden who have gotten very angry with me for criticizing him, it’s really sad to see them in denial and acting just like the Trump supporters they made fun of for years, it’s cultish. Biden’s cognitive decline was discussed during the primary on CNN, Jake Taller and Corey Booker etc talked about it. The minute Biden became the nominee they dropped it and said any talk of it is a right wing smear. There are videos of Biden grabbing a supporter by the jacket and poking him angry at the guy who said he would vote for him in the general but not the primary, he called another supporter fat...he recently snapped at a reporter and told her she was in the wrong business, the same people who would have condemned Trump for those things defended J B “ he said facts not fat” “ he was tired after a trip, he apologized to the reporter” . It is dangerous.

@seanrambo7824 that was such an odd accusation
