Grifter Showdown: Tomi Lahren And Candace Owens Go At It After Kanye Disses Blexit
We have a full-on grifter face-off!
After rap superstar Kanye West ethered Turning Point USA’s Candace Owens for tying him to Blexit — her movement to convince African-Americans to separate from the Democratic Party — Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren decided to rub some salt in the wounds of the frequent Fox News guest.
Called it. #Woke https://t.co/wlPvFTA0FS

Are you gonna turn on Kanye now? The ship was doomed to sink from the start but hunger for fame & money was placed over the movement. Funny how he was a “free thinker” before and now he’s a “traitor.” Sounds a lot like a tactic of the Left. You made your bed, now lie in it.

Claiming she “called it,” Lahren subtweeted Owens and wondered if she was “gonna turn” on West while stating that the “ship was doomed to sink from the start but hunger for fame & money was placed over the movement.”
“You made your bed, now lie in it,” the ex-TheBlaze host added.
It wouldn’t be until the following day that Owens would respond — she was mourning, after all — but when she did, she came back by calling Lahren the irrelevant one.
Tomi,
I think I can speak on behalf of people on both sides of the political aisle and say we are sorry about your failed career.
The desperation to be relevant again by constantly subbing me and/or attacking @kathygriffin weekly—doesn’t bode well for any movement.
Grow up. https://t.co/iILhUQhYko

“I think I can speak on behalf of people on both sides of the political aisle and say we are sorry about your failed career,” she tweeted. “The desperation to be relevant again by constantly subbing me and/or attacking @kathygriffin weekly—doesn’t bode well for any movement.”
“Grow up,” she concluded.
And they weren’t done! Candace claimed she had receipts and could release some nasty messages Lahren sent while Lahren tried to claim she wasn’t talking about Owens initially.
I’ve actually “chilled” for a year straight by not releasing nasty messages she sent about me that would have ended her non-career long ago.
Today I’m not in the chilling mood so unless she wants to get burned, she will stop subbing me immediately.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) October 31, 2018
I’m talking about Leftist tactics, conservative ideas & failure of identity politics. YOU are talking about ME. If you’re trying to bait me into some Twitter war, it’s not going to work. It’s not about us. You can threaten me or lob low blows about my career but I’m not playing. https://t.co/d8iRSyvmNZ

You’ve taken about 30 swipes at myself, Charlie, and TPUSA over the course of the last 8 months. You’re too much of a coward to @ anybody and now you play victim. You’re a vile human being behind closed doors and an intellectually bankrupt one in front of the cameras.

Meanwhile, observers remarked that we were watching a fight in which there was no one to root for:
Candace Owens and Tomi Lahren fighting over which one is the bigger grifter is 2018 conservative bullshit in a nutshell.

I'm seeing a lot of people rooting for Candace Owens or Tomi Lahren to go down in this fight, so I have just one question… pic.twitter.com/2wQe9VTIcd
