I want to be sympathetic to the casual Candace Owens viewer who loved certain sayings or segments from Owens, perhaps from her earlier days. For people who have watched her content religiously, I’m not certain why they are so hurt or shocked.

Charlie Kirk was a martyr who died for his faith. Was he killed because he spoke about a historical figure named Jesus? No. Was he killed because he claimed Jesus was God, was crucified and died for our sins, then rose again? No. Charlie Kirk was killed because he believed Jesus is Lord, lived his life demonstrating his convictions, and allowed his faith to inform his values and politics.

Charlie Kirk’s killer believed he spread hate. If you’ve ever said men can’t become women, marriage is between a man and a woman, it’s wrong to take the lives of babies in the womb, or something along those lines, you’ve likely been accused of spreading “hate.”

We must defend the principle that it’s wrong to steal, and a company should not be destroyed based on internet myths and unverified beliefs. And while it is not shocking that many on the political Left are gleeful about tearing down a big business, it’s disturbing that so many “America First” influencers want to destroy an American company based on lies they’ve spread.

His response to Laura Trump was completely unprofessional for a journalist and was more like political hackery from a Democrat operative. It was more than him being wrong or willfully blind toward Biden’s condition. He was on a mission to smear her as someone who would mock a disability, just as the media and the Hillary Clinton campaign smeared Trump in 2016.

Many have asked why Musk won’t simply apologize if it was all an honest misunderstanding. And the answer to that is simple: he did nothing wrong. It is not Musk’s responsibility to correct your imagination when his enemies offend you with a blatant smear.
