Hitler-praising Candace Owens has finally been suspended from Twitter after she urged followers to defy Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmers stay-at-home orders without mentioning any trip to Michigan to break the law and expose herself along with them.

According to Mediaite, this is a screen grab of the tweet that got Owens suspended.
Yet Owens, who lives in New York, said nothing about doing any of what she was asking others to do.
She is, however, very eager to play up her conservative victimhood, presumably from the safety of her home.
As Mediaite reported, she sent a statement to the far-right MAGA site, Gateway Pundit, whining that her comments were no different from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs call for a workers boycott and a protest. Apparently, Owens doesnt know that a boycott in protest of reopen orders is legal and doesnt promote the spread of a pandemic. As for the protest, AOC was saying that folks already out protesting the shutdowns should be over at the White House instead. Unlike Owens, AOC wasnt urging anyone to leave the house and break a law to protest.
Oh, and unlike Owens, AOC went out in the rain to deliver food to people in her district.
Meanwhile, Owens is defiant. She said in her statement:

(21,578 posts)we saw Laura Loomer do this do......... they bait and bait and bait social media companies (the irony being they get away with TONS of shit breaking rules before they actually finally get punished) until they get banned or suspended and then they use the "oppression" to further push their right wing followers into believing they can only trust the voices of your loomers/ownes/jones/drumpfs because the entire rest of the world is all part of the "deep state". it sure didn't take ownes long to fire out several grievances against twitter, did it? she probably had all those statements prewritten for the day twitter finally actually acted on her dangerous tweets.
they use their suspensions as a tool to tighten their grip on their cult.
