Two Black Conservative darlings are at each other’s throats. Candace Owens is being sued for defamation by Kimberly Klacik after claiming that Klacik has a stripper past and that her campaign funds were used for drugs.
The beef began mid-June when Candace posted a very typical tweet in which she claimed that Black America was brainwashed to believe that everything is racist. She added a hashtag about Juneteenth to make the post even more pitiful.
Klacik responded to the post with her own since-deleted tweet and mused that classism and not racism was the prevailing issue among Black Americans and that Owens lacked enough engagement with Black people.
Owens apparently did not like her fellow Conservative publicly critiquing her and called the woman fake after Klacik accused Owens of promoting cancel culture.
Owens allowed her petty and hurt feelings to overcome her and posted a 45-minute long video about Klacik throwing out some pretty startling accusations. One of these accusations was that Klacik used to be a stripper and that she and her husband used campaign funds to do cocaine in the strip club. She also claimed Klacik hired a Democratic operative to work on her campaign, but that is not just not juicy enough to matter. To this day, Owens still has her embeds set to the “on” position on the video.
Klacik has decided that enough is enough and filed a lawsuit in late July accusing Owens of defamation, reported Fox Baltimore.
“If [Owens] was the detective that she pretends to be, she would know that all of the clubs in Baltimore City were shut down due to the pandemic in Baltimore. So there was no possible way anybody was partying in a club or able to launder money into a club that was completely closed,” Klacik said on an episode of The Armstrong Williams Show.
Klacik did admit that she was once a stripper but that she is not ashamed of her past. However, the other claims, she feels, are defamation.
Owens is a new mother to her son, that was born in January. We cannot imagine that she would have the time for a 45-minute messy Instagram post about Klacik and surely not to fight a lawsuit.
May the best Conservative token win.
