Candace Owens, presidential candidate?

Conservative commentator and author Candace Owens said via social media that she's "thinking" of running for president. As reported by Fox News, Owens tweeted over the weekend that she was considering a presidential run although she wouldn't be eligible until 2024 when she would be 35.

Tweeting on February 7, Owens wrote, "I love America. Thinking about running for President." When a user pointed that the Republican Party (GOP) she supports is essentially "an authoritarian white nationalist party," insinuating that it would never nominate a Black person, Owens responded by saying, "This won’t age well."

The Stamford, Connecticut native was a Democrat prior to 2017 when she changed parties to support President Donald Trump. That support dovetailed with her rise to prominence as a conservative activist, author, and commentator whose most frequent platform is Fox News.

Owens has often made headlines for her controversial social media commentary. Most recently, she accused US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of “faking her own attempted murder” after the latter narrated her ordeal as it happened on January 6 during the Capitol riots.

On a day in which #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett is trending, please never forget the time that @AOC staged a photo shoot dressed in all white at a parking lot to spread lies about immigrant children in cages.
