Candace Owens:
And definitely, definitely not a good idea to lie to her face and try to humiliate her on her own tour. I personally would have strongly advised against it. Okay. I—if somebody said, “Is this a good idea?” I would have said, “Yeah, you know what? Let’s maybe not do that.” But it happened. And it’s important to stress here that this was not just a simple mistake that Ben made, right? That’s always a possibility—that Ben really thought maybe he saw something on Twitter. And somebody said, “Candace (Candace Owens) just said that Erika Kirk murdered Charlie (Charlie Kirk),” and then he gets on stage and he repeats it. Maybe it’s just an accident. Highly unlikely, but of course you have to run that plausibility. But we can now confirm that that certainly was not the case. This was not a simple mistake because in the days following it, he didn’t recant.
