After Candace Owens delivered one of the sharpest criticisms of Donald Trump ever, a new divide is getting a lot of attention in conservative media circles. Comments he made during his livestream on April 13 show that people who used to agree on many things are now more divided. What started as a policy disagreement has now turned into deeply personal and moral allegations. This is making people question the loyalty, power and future of Trump’s media support base.Owens was very open natured. He used religious language, talked about his political frustration and expressed his personal disappointment, making the moment go viral on social media. The strength of his words reflects a sea change in the right-wing media, where voices that used to agree are now increasingly debating about foreign policy choices and leadership direction.
Candace Owens’ explosive comments deepen conservative rift
During the broadcast, Owens said:“Candace Owens (host): I mean, you guys obviously know my perspective. Trump is very clearly under demonic influence. I think Paula White probably put some kind of spell on him. I mean, the irony is he’s surrounded by the same thing he accuses me and Meghan and Tucker of, because we’re calling for peace.
We’re calling for peace, and he’s like, these people are crazy. And then they have people like Laura Loomer as their number one advisor, who was put on forced psych 5150 hold. She said that I am giving her advice. We have Paula White, who is telling him that he is like Jesus Christ, which is absolutely reprehensible, and he thinks these people are totally sane. Then, it’s very scary to go this far into the cave.He’s so in the cave, he’s so sure of his invincibility. It is completely unfounded that he was deeply troubled by the Pope telling him the truth. The Catholic view is that it is an unjust war, because it is obvious.What you’re doing in the Middle East is morally outrageous, okay? And forget the part that you went against every promise you made, betrayed your base, betrayed the people who were trying to get out to vote for you, betrayed Charlie Kirk, you betrayed Megyn Kelly, you betrayed Tucker Carlson, you betrayed me.The result goes beyond a monologue. Owens’ comments highlight growing friction between prominent conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, many of whom are reevaluating their stances on Trump’s recent decisions.This moment feels different. This is not just criticism. It is a public revelation of the alliances that once defined a powerful media ecosystem.
