Trump Campaign Adviser Eviscerates ‘Fraud’ Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk: Trying to Establish ‘The Superiority of Whites Over Blacks’
Pastor Darrell Scott, a longtime pro-Trump activist and 2024 senior Trump campaign advisor, joined the Tudor Dixon Podcast on Friday and called out recent “racist” comments from Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens – two prominent MAGA world media figures.
Tudor Dixon, who waged an unsuccessful bid for governor of Michigan in 2022, began the conversation, saying, “We’re talking today mostly about folks that are out there saying some pretty ugly stuff.” Dixon and Scott pulled no punches in directly accusing both Kirk and Owens of creating a culture of racism and sexism on the right with their recent screeds against diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“And I’m going to start this off with a clip. That is Charlie Kirk and this has so deeply bothered me. And I noticed on social media it was bothering you too. And that’s why I wanted to, to just have this discussion. So first I’m going to play the clip. It’s about him talking about a black pilot. Here it is,” Dixon continued, introducing a clip from Kirk’s podcast.
“I’m sorry if I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified,” Kirk then says in the clip.
“Just one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard in my life,” Scott responded to the clip, adding:
To me, it, underscores the feelings that Charlie Kirk has about the Black community. You know, the word white supremacy is thrown around a lot these days. The Democrats use it as a talking point, and the Republicans refute it. And, you know, every four years we have this narrative, pin the racists on the Republican, and they try to depict the Republican Party as the party of racism. The Republicans refute that by saying, well, we’re the party of Lincoln. We freed the slaves. And that’s all good. I will say this, though, there is there isn’t a white supremacy component to the Republican Party, but there’s a white superiority component.
And saying that there are those Whites such as Charlie Kirk, he’s the ringleader, and he’s actually trying to resurrect that spirit in the party of, the superiority of Whites over Blacks. And he insinuates that every Black person that you see in a prominent position, that there has to be an air of suspicion about them, that they didn’t really earn this position. They were given this, because of affirmative action. They were given this because of DEI. It’s absolutely not true. There’s a rigid set of standards to be a pilot. They’re just not handing out pilots’ licenses.
“That is what bugs me the most. I think that if you’ve ever had a job and let’s be honest about the situation here, Charlie Kirk is an activist. He started being an activist when he was 18 years old, and in 2012 they founded Turning Point. He’s been an activist since,” Dixon replied, adding:
He’s never worked in manufacturing. He’s never worked on a line. He’s never worked at a business where there are safety requirements. And coming from a manufacturing facility, safety is number one.
“And so this idea that any company would create a DEI program that could potentially put the lives of people in danger is asinine, but it is a message that is being pushed by these far-right activists time and time again. And you know why? It’s because they’re making money off of it. It’s all about clicks,” Dixon concluded after tearing into Kirk more.
Kirk runs a prominent pro-Trump student organization, Turning Point USA, that regularly holds conferences attended by major pro-Trump Republicans. In recent weeks, Kirk and his organization have launched a campaign to try and delegitimize the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. — who Kirk claims is a fraud.
Dixon moved on to another clip in which Kirk raged about having to speak to “a moronic Black woman” working in customer service and wondered if she only got her job because of affirmative action.
“I think it’s disgusting. I think it’s absolutely the most racist thing that I have heard somebody say in a very long time,” Dixon said before playing the clip.
“And I am calling him out because as someone who has run for office, something that we are up against constantly, like you said, this, this false narrative of you’re a racist, you’re horrible, we’re up against this constantly as Republicans,” Dixon added, accusing Kirk of kicking up racism allegations against the GOP.
Scott and Dixon also blasted Daily Wire host Candace Owens, who told her audience that she worries about flying on planes with female pilots – also concerned they did not get their jobs because they are qualified.
“Again, I go back to the fact that he’s 30 and he has not actually had to be outside of this small bucket of conservative activists who have fed him every time that he does this. He builds that following, builds that ego. Candace Owens came from Turning Point. They actually work together and until well but they they worked together until Candace got big and Charlie couldn’t handle it. And so Candace still defends him, though. I mean, they still have a working relationship. So this is what Candace had to say. I want to play that,” Dixon said during the conversation, before playing a clip of Owens.
“Candace Owens is ignorant anyway, I’ll give you a little bit of backstory on that,” Scott replied before defending women pilots, noting that women are much better drivers and have lower insurance premiums than men as a result.
“Now let’s go back to Candace. First of all, Candace wanted to echo Charlie’s Black sentiments, but she really couldn’t do that, so she had to find a line to go. And so she played on the woman card. Candace has been a fraud from day one, and I warned them years ago and they didn’t want to listen,” Scott concluded.
Dixon also called out Owens for her sexist comments and argued that commentators like Owens make it more difficult to recruit female candidates to run the Republican Party and for them to gain traction.
The conversation ended with Dixon thanking Scott for joining her to call out Kirk and Owens. Kirk is “serving up a dish of racism and then he is he is putting the whipped cream on top and saying, but I didn’t have a choice. No, no, unacceptable,” Dixon fumed as the interview wound down.
“You are not going to try to sugarcoat what you are trying to feed young people and this movement of racism, because it is racism and it is sexism and the things that they have said on social media in the past few weeks have turned my stomach. I’ve seen it happening for years, but this has gone too far, and I appreciate the fact that you were willing to come on today because I needed someone else who was brave, who would say, no, this is not Donald Trump,” Dixon concluded.
