The Progressive American

In a new video, I debunk Candace Owens’ false equivocation of the United States and Russia.

Conor J. Kelly

Good evening everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to remind you all that I recently uploaded on my YouTube. Prior to her firing from The Daily Wire, Candace Owens released a ridiculous response to commentators Jon Stewart and Fareed Zakaria over their criticism of Tucker Carlson’s horrendous Russian trip.

Throughout her segment, Owens relies on anecdatoes and outright lies about the quality of life in America compared to that of Russia. It was ridiculous then and it is ridiculous now. If you want to check it out, you can find it on the link presented above. As always, sources included below.

If you like my work and want to support me, you can find the donation site through my Kofi account. I really appreciate it.
