“No one threatened to kill Dylan Mulvaney. We threatened to (and made good on) no longer drinking Bud Light,” Owens tweeted on Thursday. “I’m so sick of the ‘trans community’ pretending they are Black people surviving the klan in the 1920′s — while [they] shake their fake implants on the White House lawn.”

What a fucking asshole.

My God the irony..

Trans people aren't being bullied" 10 seconds later "trans rights aren't real and trans people are mentally deranged gay men who want to showcase their sexual fetishes publicly"

Classic Candace Owens 🙃

Christ on a bike it’s not the Oppression Olympics. Can we at least agree that very bad things have happened to both? Fucks sake.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

And very bad things in particular continue to happen to people who are both

Pretty sure it wasn't pretend when I, a trans woman, got stabbed for "being a faggot" by a chud in a maga hat.

Wow, what a complete and utter piece of shit.

Black people on the 1920's had to deal with "the klan" as sporadic and fairly localized pockets of violent racists that wanted them to "know their place". Trans people have to deal with a nationwide, organized, and enabled group of people that want them to not exist, as well as a significant number of politicians who are legislating to ensure they do indeed cease to exist. Also, anyone that thinks that trans people do not and have not dealt with violence is a dip shit.

There were more than a few death threats against Mulvaney. If it was just a bud light boycott, whatever, knock yourself out. Also, I thought “my oppression was worse than your oppression” is what the the right claims is leftist woke identity politics. JFC, Candace needs to pull her head out of her own ass. These people have no self awareness

She may be an asshole, but an irrelevant asshole she remains. She is basically a dinosaur whisperer. A relic of a bad idea, shouting loudly to soon-to-be ghosts that refuse to abandon the idea.

Klandice Owens is more that mildly annoying.

Candace Owens has weighed in on the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light controversy.

The right-wing podcaster, known for her support of Donald Trump and Kanye West, has responded to the trans influencer’s recent remarks about being “abandoned” by the iconic beer brand amid the backlash sparked by their partnership earlier this year.

“No one threatened to kill Dylan Mulvaney. We threatened to (and made good on) no longer drinking Bud Light,” Owens tweeted on Thursday. “I’m so sick of the ‘trans community’ pretending they are Black people surviving the klan in the 1920′s — while [they] shake their fake implants on the White House lawn.” Candace Owens and Dylan Mulvaney

The founder of the Blexit organization has been an outspoken critic of transgender identities.

“Transgenderism is, among other things, an utterly fictitious ‘civil rights’ movement, comprised mostly of a bunch of mentally deranged gay men that are looking for permission to live out their sexual fetishes publicly,” the polarizing pundit recklessly wrote in another tweet.

Owens’ remarks were a direct response to Mulvaney’s claims of experiencing “bullying and transphobia” earlier in the day.

The TikTok superstar took to social media to break her silence about the firestorm her association with Bud Light left in its wake.

“For months now, I’ve been scared to leave my house,” Mulvaney said in her 4-minute video. ”I have been ridiculed in public. I’ve been followed, and I have felt a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”

In early April, a short video posted on Mulvaney’s Instagram account showed her opening up a can of Bud Light with her face on it.

A conservative-led boycott ensued, causing Bud Light — which had been the bestselling brew nationwide since 2001 — to take a major decline in sales.

Do they not know Black Trans people exist?

[-] d4rknusw1ld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

She uses her black card when she needs it; other times she uses her white card. Imagine white people doing this. Damn it I was in the army I earned my black card haha.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I don't take anything she says seriously. Candace Owens is just a shameless grifter and will say whatever she thinks will get her attention and/or money. Remember the Freedumb Phone lol?
