Candace Owens appeared on Tim Pool's podcast to criticize Steven Crowder, calling his actions a "bitch move." The analysis suggests Owens is performing "damage control" for the Daily Wire after her previous defense of Kanye West. Her career moves, including the promotion of the "Freedom Phone" and her commentary on Rihanna's Super Bowl performance, are characterized as an attempt to transition from conservative politics into a mainstream "Oprah-style" cultural figure.
