Candace Owens Responds to Criticism of Her and Tucker Carlson

I look at the West, our greatest ally, and I see a new enemy rising from within.

I am speaking of a poison being sold to the American people as patriotism.

I am speaking of the intellectual vandalism of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

Mr. Speaker, let us be clear about what this is.

They claim to fight the woke left;

they are no different than the woke left.

The radical left tears down the statues of Thomas Jefferson;

Tucker Carlson tears down the legacy of Winston Churchill.

The radical left says Western civilization is evil;

Candace Owens says the roots of our faith are demonic.

It is the same sickness, it is the same moral relativism,

it is the same hatred of the West dressed up in a different costume.

Yes, to be clear, that is dangerous. The Likud party, and I...

I... I was quite literally... someone was plotting my murder.

Actually a year from the date that Charlie was murdered on September 10th,

someone was plotting my murder and got discovered,

and that's still making its way through the courts.

These people are calling for violence.

That is... that's the implicit threat here.

They're all growing increasingly more radical, and they're feeling threatened by speech,

which is why I implore all of you, which I see that you are, which is why they feel threatened, to continue to use it.

And to recognize that these people are incredibly dangerous.

They are very dangerous when a person is unwilling to say, "Here is what I did wrong,"

especially when that person has murdered tens of thousands of children,

what they're doing down in Venezuela, Argentina...

When they say the issue is people recognizing what they're doing...

Argentina, they are tweeting.

I mean, they are in the streets shouting against Zionism.

And we're supposed to believe it's because everyone just hates Jews?

Everyone hates God's chosen people?

Or because you can no longer convince people

that you are murdering, stealing, plundering, raping in the name of the Lord.

I think it's the latter.

But these people are dangerous.

Okay, if anything happens to Tucker Carlson or me,

you obviously know that Israel was involved.

Obviously. That is unbelievably apparent...

...in their rhetoric, their name-checking us, they're calling us on... on stage,

they're sending their goons out to harass us,

because we believe in America First,

and that we should stop getting involved in their interests.

And that it is unacceptable, frankly,

that our government gives more flak to Tucker Carlson...

...our government representatives give more flak to Tucker Carlson than they did to Jeffrey Epstein.

That they choose to cover up the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein,

while pretending that speech in America is what's actually radical,

not people who are actually harming children and abusing children sexually.

We don't even have a government in my view.

Like, if we can't even protect the nation's most innocent, how do we even have a government?
