Natalie Jean Beisner calls out Candace Owens over Erika Kirk comments
The post shows journalist Natalie Jean Beisner responding directly to comments attributed to Owens about Erika Kirk. Beisner argues that the language used against Kirk goes beyond political disagreement and could contribute to a hostile public atmosphere.
Her post specifically highlights Owens' description of Kirk's connections and role, while also accusing Owens of repeatedly presenting Kirk in a dehumanizing way.
Beisner wrote:
“Candace Owens to Erika Kirk: “You work with the deep-state apparatus. You are their emotional asset.”
Candace once again weaponizes dehumanizing language against Erika Kirk.
This is how political violence comes to happen and to—perhaps worse yet—be excused and even celebrated. Candace has repeatedly and intentionally and sinsterly conditioned her audience to think of Erika as less than and something other than human. She is playing a dangerous game”
