Candace Owens is fighting back at being the scapegoat of “racist Leftists” who appear to be buying into the idea that she influenced a terrorist who murdered dozens in a New Zealand mosque.
The conservative commentator was named in a 74-page “manifesto” by the gunman who opened fire inside the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch which left 49 people dead and another 48 injured.

A second shooting as Friday prayers were underway occurred at a mosque in Linwood not far from the first attack. The gunman and other suspects were taken into custody after the horrific attack which was reportedly live-streamed on social media in a sick attempt to get more attention.
The New Zealand massacre was livestreamed on Facebook, announced on 8chan, reposted on YouTube, commentated about on Reddit, and mirrored around the world before the tech companies could even react.

The killer’s mention of Owens and Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg, a YouTuber who has allegedly promoted anti-Semitism, ignited immediate backlash. Owens came out swinging in a series of tweets, dismissing the radical suggestions that she could be blamed for the massacre.
“FACT: I’ve never created any content espousing my views on the 2nd Amendment or Islam,” Owens wrote. “The Left pretending I inspired a mosque massacre in…New Zealand because I believe black America can do it without government hand outs is the reachiest reach of all reaches!”
LOL! ?

While Owens obviously directed her “LOL” and laughing emoji at the leftists who were falling for the killer’s ploy to blame her, triggered Twitter users slammed the 29-year-old Turning Point USA director of communications. But she doubled down and continued to defend herself.
HAHA OMG you racist Leftists are taking your racism and crazy to a whole new level hahah.
“Black people don’t have to be Democrats” now means…mosque shootings in New Zealand?
This clearly won’t stick but damn if I won’t grow #BLEXIT highlighting your sheer desperation. ?? https://t.co/4vM1aXleL4

Racist white liberals are on the hunt trying to lynch another black conservative tonight!

Owens, a vocal supporter of President Trump and the founder of the “Blexit” movement which calls for Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, threatened lawsuits against those who continued to perpetuate the idea that she was to blame for the New Zealand killer’s despicable actions.
To be clear:
We played the “Candace is Hitler” game.
We played the “Candace is anti-rape victims” game.If the media attempts this “Candace inspired a mosque shooting in New Zealand” bit—they better all lawyer the f*ck up.
I will go full Covington Catholic lawsuit.Try me.

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the massacre “was an act of extraordinary and unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand.”
“It is one of New Zealand’s darkest days. Many of the people affected by this act of extreme violence will be from our refugee and migrant communities,” she added, according to Newsweek.
But while the left raged against Owens in the wake of the horrific massacre, many countered that the leftist backlash was playing right into the shooter’s plan by helping spread the video, the manifesto and the underlying messages of hate and division.

And Owens clapped back at the left in another sarcastic tweet on Friday, noting what she had not yet been “blamed” for.
A few events I’ve not yet been blamed for:
-Brazilian mining dam collapse
-Chinese air smog
-Tenerife air crash disaster 1973
-Sinking of the RMS Titanic, 1912In case any of you leftist lunatics want to get a jump on next week.

Many on Twitter supported Owens and called out the left for adding fuel to the fire of the shooter’s hatred and giving him the attention he was seeking.

She is not “making it about herself”, the media are potentially making it about her because a man with schizophrenia cited her and a dragon and the game fortnite as his inspiration. She has the right to defend herself.

I stand with Candace!

Another false flag by globalists!! She is a threat to them!! That’s all it is. She had nothing to do with this, just the typical liberal blame game. They are sick and demented just like the shooter and anyone who uses violence!!
— Mike Y (@Mishanny15) March 15, 2019
Please. Killer made it about her. And the left is already associating her with this, negatively. Left been smearing & obfuscating since day 1. Tide has turned with now Tucker not apologizing, Covington kids lawsuit, etc. Y’all set the rules, now time to actually play by them ?
— Nico Muchuelas (@Nicostatus) March 15, 2019
She’s not wrong though. She’s being defensive because people are trying to pin the blame on her for this disgusting act. I’d be even more outraged and angry if I were her.
— NerdFactor (@nerdfactt) March 15, 2019
If you’re blaming this horrific shooting on Candace Owens or PewDiePie, you also have to blame Spyro the Dragon and Fortnite (both mentioned in his manifesto). Utterly absurd. Won’t stop the media piling in though.

Y’all know I’m not a fan of Candace Owens. But no one holds ANY blame for the lost lives other than the shooter. HE killed people. Candace did nothing to be mentioned in the same sentence with that monster. https://t.co/9Iz5eC87eI
