Candace Owens has shared a strong message about the country following Donald Trump‘s guilty verdict in his hush money trial.
As The Shade Room previously reported, the former president was convicted on 34 charges in New York on Thursday, May 30. Trump was accused of paying Stormy Daniels, an adult entertainer, $130,000 “to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election,” per ABC News.
On Thursday, Owens took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share her thoughts after Trump’s guilty verdict. To note, Vanity Fair reports that Owens has previously been vocal about her support for Trump.
In response to his guilty verdict, Owens seemingly called the country a “banana republic.”
“We just live in a banana republic guys,” she wrote. “Time to just accept that.”
Additionally, she explained that “nothing” in the country is “legitimate.” Ultimately, Owens asserted that Trump’s guilty verdict doesn’t “shame” him, it “shames our country.”
“Nothing is legitimate— not the media, our elections, or the courts,” she added. “This guilty verdict doesn’t shame Trump, it shames our country.”
Owens’ words prompted reactions in The Shade Room’s comment section.
While Instagram user @professor_wynn added, “She’s should REALLY 🤫! Like frfr! It was FAIR! His attorneys helped select the jury! He has the BEST attorneys money can buy! It’s not rigged, he’s just GUILTY! The DEFENSE WITNESS is the one that sunk the case! WTF! Bye 👋🏽 girl! Have several seats!”
Instagram user @stacy_beee wrote, “A jury of 12 peers found him guilty. Crazy how when things don’t work out for privileged, they immediately try to attack our democracy and try to delegitimize the rule of law. But when actual injustices happen to Black and Brown folks they go mute.”
Chance The Rapper wrote, “Ion live in no DAMN BANANA REPUBLIC”
Furthermore, Owens’ critique also sparked mixed reactions in her comment section on X.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Candace Owens recently garnered media attention in March. At the time, it was reported that she was fired from the right-wing news outlet, The Daily Wire.
In response, Owens took to X to confirm the news.
“The rumors are true— I am finally free,” she wrote. “… There will be many announcements in the weeks to come.”
Furthermore, Owens was reportedly fired from the outlet for allegedly promoting antisemitism.
