Candace Owens also called the Ku Klux Klan a 'Democrat terrorist organization.'
WASHINGTON – Controversial conservative Candace Owens said Tuesday during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that Democrats' concerns about white nationalism are actually meant to send a message that"brown people need to be scared" ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
Owens said Democrats had"simply changed the data set points by widening the definition of hate crimes."Owens is the communications director for Turning Point USA, a conservative organization that aims to organize college students. She has pushed for more African-Americans to vote Republican, arguing Democratic policies have hindered rather than helped, their community. She was invited to testify at the hearing by Judiciary Committee Republicans.
Owens' grandfather, 75, sat behind her at the hearing. She said he was a sharecropper who"grew up in an America where words like racism and white nationalism held real meaning under the Democrat party's Jim Crow laws.""There isn't a single adult today that in good conscience would make the argument that America is a more racist or white nationalist society than it was when my grandfather was growing up," she said.
"If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay fine. Problem is he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize," Owens said in the clip of her explaining why she thought"nationalism" is good and"globalism" is bad.
