Well Candace Owens has her big mouth open about Minnesota...

Blames the riots on Soros and "the media," naturally.

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 Floyd’s 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 Floyd’s repeated complaints that he couldn’t breathe and bystanders’ pleas to remove his knee from Floyd’s 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 Floyd’s 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.

black people “jump up like a fucking trained chimpanzee” when they see stories of white police officers killing black people.

And, like a trained seal, whenever the justified outrage of people of color is shown because of unnecessary, unjustified, racially motivated killing, conservative Black people come out and say the bullshit Owens is saying.
