Candace Owens Says “I Don’t Recognize This Administration” in Response to Trump’s Crackdown on Free Speech

Candace Owens, a conservative pundit and ardent Trump supporter, is defying convention by denouncing Trump for what she sees as a perilous assault on free expression at American colleges.

In a recent video message, Owens—who has long been one of Trump’s most vocal supporters—did not mince words. What did she say? Even prestigious universities like Harvard should be supported by the public when it comes to freedom of expression if federal censorship is the only other option. “I don’t recognize Donald J. Trump’s administration right now, but I never imagined that I would one day be supporting a university above him,” Owens remarked.

She went on to discuss a theory she had created with her team, raising concerns about how Trump, who is renowned for defending free speech, may appear to back initiatives that restrict academic discourse while claiming to be against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. “It’s really disorganized. It’s quite clear. She remarked, “Everyone knows what you’re doing,” alluding to what she perceives to be a performative campaign against DEI that unintentionally stifles free thought.

Owens made it apparent that future generations are the source of her annoyance, not just politics. She cautioned, “It is not worth it to threaten our speech so that we can have pom-poms and go hurrah for a couple of years.” Then proceed, “Okay, well, yeah, now that we’re getting arrested for the wrong thing, it kind of stinks.”

” “Arrest Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens!” she said, mockingly referring to herself and fellow conservative pundit Tucker Carlson. Grab him! I adore it! As the film comes to a close, Owens exhorts conservatives to stand up for their beliefs, even if it means supporting organizations they have historically rejected. She said, “You had better get up and support Harvard University in this battle.”

The remarks made by Candace Owens, who has remained steadfastly loyal to Trump during numerous scandals, constitute a rare public censure. As President Trump’s policies change during his current term in office, her criticism highlights a growing conflict among conservative voices.
