CANDACE OWENS (HOST): It's so shameless and grotesque and dishonest. And the amount of money being spent on this for these emotional assets to come out and wax poetic and then not realize they made a mistake, and now they're all kind of backtracking and being like, oh, no, doesn't actually show him get shot, but it shows him getting into the prone position and, oh, they didn't realize that they had no idea when they all started making these videos to cover up the minutiae of the DNA evidence. They, you know, they were talking about the DNA evidence. Don't pay attention to that.
Pay attention to the video that we're telling you was exclusively shown to us, which is look, it's crazy, but it was so clear at the very end of day 5, they showed the influencers 4K HD, perfectly clear. Everyone else was spending 9 hours a day watching every day of the hearing, but they waited till the end to give this gift to the same influencers who have been trying to help the government wage a war against our minds. This is a psychological operation. It is failing. It is, like I said, requiring an unbelievable amount of money.
And now I get why they had to file for FARA. People are getting paid. There is no other explanation for how people could lie like this. I mean, I'm shocked. I'm shocked at Benny Johnson. I've never had an issue with Benny Johnson. This gives me an issue with Benny Johnson. How do you lie like that?
