Okay, just to be clear here - fuck Candace Owens

But . . . If you read the article she was actually scammed out of a bunch of money too. She even gave the promoter money to cover refunds and they just didn't refund it. Rocksman (the promoter) is the real villain of the story.

I mean, it's messed up all around, but I'll at least give credit to C.Owens for trying to get people their refunds. Also I'm not exactly crying over these folks getting fleeced but holy shit it's crazy what the promoter did and got away with and what they stole.

Conservatives always lie.

C Owens is almost certainly in on the scam, but she needs to make herself the victim because conservatives always do

I think if you're going to a Candice Owens talk you're probably pretty used to being scammed.
