The post argued that her audience continued to support her despite what it described as factual errors.The post read:“Candace Owens doesn’t even try to pretend that her fake “investigation” is serious anymore.Because she knows she already has her audience wrapped around her finger.When they tell you that you have to watch her full show to understand her conspiracies.This is the type of pure podslop that you’re missing out on.Stuff that even a child should be able to see right through.The funny part about this little song and dance number she just did is that she had to walk back all of the false allegations she made against the officer in the next episode.Turns out her information was completely wrong as she was confidently singing to her audience.Not surprised at all.”The criticism centered on Owens’ discussion of Officer Bagley, with the poster alleging that later information contradicted earlier claims made during her show.

It was captured by a bystander at 1247 PM. Thank you, Candace. Oh my gosh, you’re welcome, Officer Bagley. I’m sure that’s what you wanted. You just probably wanted to positively ID who was on the lousy rooftop center with you.““And despite all of the resources of the feds and UVU police and all the cameras, you couldn’t do it before that preliminary hearing when you sit down with your lawyer and try to make sure that you have every possible detail remembered. But here I am to save the day. Here is the footage. Let’s watch that. 1247 PM. Random person walking and they catch lousy rooftop. Who could that be? Who is that? Dear who? Oh man, in a plain clothes.“The latest exchange has once again placed Owens at the center of a polarized online conversation.
