After Candace Owens made one of her most pointed criticisms of Donald Trump yet, a new split in conservative media circles is getting a lot of attention. The comments she made during her April 13 livestream show that people who used to agree on a lot of things are now more divided. What started as policy disagreements has now turned into very personal and moral accusations. This makes people question the loyalty, power, and future of Trump’s media support base.Owens was very open. She used religious language, talked about her political frustration, and expressed her personal disappointment, which made the moment go viral on social media. The strength of her words shows a bigger change in right-leaning media, where voices that used to be in agreement are now arguing more and more about foreign policy choices and the direction of leadership.
Candace Owens’ explosive remarks deepen conservative rift
During the broadcast, Owens stated:“CANDACE OWENS (HOST): I mean, you guys obviously know my perspective. Trump is very clearly under demonic influence. I think Paula White probably put a spell on him of some sort. I mean, he is surrounded by, ironically, the very thing that he accuses me and Megyn and Tucker of being, because we’re calling for peace.We’re calling for peace, and he’s like, these people are nutjobs. And then he has people like Laura Loomer, who has been forcibly placed on psych 5150 holds, as his number one adviser. She said I’m advising him. We’ve got Paula White, who’s telling him he’s akin to Jesus Christ, which is absolutely blasphemous, and he thinks these people are totally sane. Again, very scary to be that far in the cave.He is so in the cave, he is so convinced of his own invincibility. It is completely unhinged that he was deeply upset by the pope telling him the truth. The Catholic perspective is that this is an unjust war, because it is, obviously.It’s morally contemptible what you are doing in the Middle East, okay? And forget the part that you went against every single one of your promises, betrayed your base, betrayed the people that were out there trying to get votes for you, betrayed Charlie Kirk, you betrayed Megyn Kelly, you betrayed Tucker Carlson, you betrayed me.”The fallout goes beyond a single monologue. Owens’ comments highlight growing friction among prominent conservative voices such as Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, many of whom are re-evaluating their stance on Trump’s recent decisions.This moment feels different. It is not just criticism. It is a public unraveling of alliances that once defined a powerful media ecosystem.
