Conservative commentator candace owens on Tuesday blasted a House hearing on white nationalism and hate crimes, claiming Democrats on the panel were focused on "fear-mongering, power and control" rather than on the issue of racism.
"We're hearing [terms like 'white nationalism'] sent around today because what they want to say is that brown people want to be scared, which seems to be the narrative that we hear every four years ahead of a presidential election," Owens, communications director at conservative group Turning Point USA, said during her opening remarks.
Owens was invited to testify by GOP lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee in Tuesday's hearing.
Owens, whose 74-year-old grandfather sat behind her during the hearing, said he "grew up in an America where words like 'racism' and 'white nationalism' held real meaning under the Democratic Party's Jim Crow laws."
The House Judiciary hearing was planned to "examine hate crimes, the impact white nationalist groups have on American communities and the spread of white identity ideology," according to a description of the event.
The panel's hearing comes after a number of mass shootings in recent months were carried out by alleged white supremacists, including a shooting at a Pittsburgh-area synagogue that killed 11 Jewish congregants and two mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed 50 worshippers last month.
"The hearing today is not about white nationalism or hate crimes, it's about fear-mongering, power and control," Owens said, casting doubt on whether hate crimes in the U.S. have risen in recent years.
"The goal here is to scare blacks, Hispanics, gays and Muslims, helping [Democrats] censor dissenting opinions ... helping them regain control," Owens said at the hearing.
"White supremacy, racism, white nationalism, words that once held real meaning, have now become nothing more than election strategies," she claimed.
According to the FBI, hate crimes increased in the U.S. for the third year in a row in 2017, rising 17 percent from the previous year. The bulk of those hate crimes were committed against black, Jewish and Muslim Americans.
In her remarks, Owens also called talk of a GOP "southern strategy" in the 1960s, which critics say was an appeal to white southern voters over racial issues a "myth."
"We hear over and over again about black conservatives, who have the audacity to think for themselves and become educated about our history and the myth of things, like the southern switch and the southern strategy, which never happened."
The issue has long been a controversial one. Many GOP leaders have said the party did try to use racial divisions to win white voters. In 2005, then Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman told NAACP leaders that the southern strategy was "wrong."
Owens was one of eight witnesses on the panel, alongside multiple civil rights advocates and representatives with Google and Facebook.

The Candace Owens Moment: MAGA Is Breaking Down Democrat Racial Division Once and For All


Published 8 mins ago on Apr 9, 2019

MAGA movement visionary Candace Owens delivered another victory for President Donald Trump’s America Tuesday in front of Congress as her likeminded patriots rack up an impressive streak of wins.
Robert Mueller is defeated, the national emergency for the Wall is upheld with a presidential veto of both parties in Congress, China is forking over more than a trillion dollars for American-made goods, and Herman Cain might very well be nominated for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
But Candace’s smackdown of Democrats Jerry Nadler and Ted Lieu and others — who clearly underestimated her potential to throw down a drop-the-mic worldwide Truth bomb — is an endzone spike that truly matters. Candace Owens broke the fourth wall and kicked down the 2-D Narrative, announcing that we in the MAGA movement don’t have to play by their rules anymore.
Because America cannot be divided.
The Democrats — clinging to their mealy-mouthed defense of blackface or KKK-festooned governor Ralph Northam and blackface-wearing attorney general Mark Herring — and chastened by their Jussie Smollett hoax, which Chris Rock shamed them for, have pretty much nothing left.
Their game is Narrative, and their narrative for so long was that Trump supporters are racists. But they couldn’t pin that tag on the Covington Catholic kids, and they can’t pin it on Trump’s America anymore. The American people are too smart.

Candace Owens: "It's pretty apparent that Mr. Lieu believes that black ppl are stupid & will not pursue the full clip.”

Nadler scolds Candace tells her to not call Lieu stupid.

Candace:“I didn’t refer to him as stupid...u didn’t listen to what I said.”

Populism — like the kind practiced by President Trump’s movement — is the collective realization of an energy that all people innately have, especially in America. And while the system tries to crush our spirit, our spirit will always push back.
The American people have the weapon of Truth. The dividers in the media and the political system can only cling desperately to the purse strings of fear.
As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote in his “Antidotes for Fear” (a quality that Candace has none of):
Normal fear protects us; abnormal fear paralyzes us. Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives. Our problem is not to be rid of fear but rather to harness and master it…
Courage and cowardice are antithetical. Courage is an inner resolution to go forward in spite of obstacles and frightening situations; cowardice is a submissive surrender to circumstance. Courage breeds creative self-affirmation; cowardice produces destructive self-abnegation. Courage faces fear and thereby masters it; cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it. Courageous men never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear…
“Hate is rooted in fear, and the only cure for fear-hate is love…
Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.”
Dr. King passage ends
I want to finish here with the words of a man named H.K. Edgerton, a black man in a Confederate uniform who stood guard at the Silent Sam memorial in North Carolina when leftists tore that statue down. He refused to accept the Democrat media narrative that seeks to divide us. Candace Owens shared this man’s message to the world, and I’m grateful.
As their Narrative breaks down, we are left with an abiding Truth. We are left with a common purpose. We are left with souls — bloodied and battered, perhaps, but resilient by the grace of God. And brave citizens who light our path in the darkness…
