Candace Owens, the Black conservative mouthpiece for the “Make America Great Again” constituency, now says she’s “embarrassed” after campaigning for President Trump during his 2024 run to the White House.
“He’s been a chronic disappointment. And I feel embarrassed that I told people to go vote for him because this wasn’t going to happen, and it is happening,” Owens said during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tuesday, The Hill reports.
But Owens is now looking to reel in her affection for Trump after his recent decision to send the US military to engage in the Israel-Iran conflict.
Trump ordered the bombing of three of Iran’s nuclear facilities in Iran, this past weekend, ultimately assisting Israel’s plot to weaken the country.
“This was not Trump’s decision; it was Bibi Netanyahu’s decision,” Owens told Morgan, referring to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Hill reports. “And that is the reason that he did it. We’re very aware that Israel is dictating our foreign policy, and we’d now like that to stop.”
Owens better be careful as she’s starting to mirror Democrats’ talking points, but she continued adding that there was “no imminent threat” to the U.S. She also noted that Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and others have claimed that Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons and, more importantly, didn’t even have nuclear weapon capability, which the president completely ignored.
“I don’t care what she [Gabbard] said. I think they were very close to having one,” Trump told reporters Tuesday on Air Force One.
