Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens Trash Eagles Playes as ‘Narcissistic, Egotistical’ Celebrities
Congrats everyone, we’ve made it into day three of the Culture Wars, but things are not looking good.
Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens — both of Turning Point USA, an organization that keeps accidentally hiring racists — appeared on the morning show Wednesday to bash the Philadelphia Eagles for getting uninvited from the White House.
This latest controversy was drummed up when President Donald Trump made a spectacle out of disinviting the Super Bowl-Champions from the White House after not enough of them promised to attend his party. He has blamed the snub on the anthem protests, but none of the Eagles knelt for the anthem last season.
Kirk — who writes bumper sticker-esque tweets that he refuses to delete when they turn out to be factually incorrect (which happens regularly) — told Fox & Friends that the Eagles “were going to overly politicize this for all the wrong reasons.”
The young conservative activist, whose organization TPUSA is a support group for aggrieved conservatives on college campuses, went after football players for casting themselves as victims.
His accomplice Candace Owens, a YouTuber who parlayed a tweet from Kanye West into endless appearances on Fox News, added that unlike Trump, NFL players are egotistical and entitled celebrities.
“What we’re really seeing is a window into the narcissistic, egotistical mind that is the celebrity brain,” Owens, a quasi-celebrity herself, said. “They have a god complex.”
Brian Kilmeade reminded Owens that the NFL players are actually arguing for something, namely police treatment of minorities. Owens dismissed the issue, claiming “I don’t take that problem to be one of the big problems that is facing the black community.”
Owens went on to argue that she does not take seriously NFL players’ criticisms of police brutality because those same players don’t talk about black on black crime — a statement you would know is complete nonsense if you consume news anywhere other than Owens’s YouTube channel.
