Candace Owens Claims Minneapolis Protests Are Media-Manufactured Race War
By Jared Holt | May 29, 2020 2:34 pm
Candace Owens, a right-wing commentator, has been on a days-long tear against those outraged at the death of George Floyd, claiming that the response to Floyds death is a media-manufactured race war.
Floyd, a black man, died Monday in handcuffs with his neck pinned under the knee of white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who ignored Floyds repeated complaints that he couldnt breathe and bystanders pleas to remove his knee from Floyds neck. Four officers were fired related to the death, and Chauvin was arrested and charged with murder Friday. Since Tuesday, protesters have demonstrated against the killing in downtown Minneapolis.
Owens tweeted sarcastically Friday that the response to Floyds death would solve the coronavirus, calling the reaction a media-manufactured race war.

Owens faced criticism earlier this week for her baseless suggestion that protests in Minneapolis were being funded by billionaire progressive donor George Soros via his Open Society Foundation and for claiming that black people jump up like a fucking trained chimpanzee when they see stories of white police officers killing black people.
