Professional troll Candace Owens truly outdid herself last week, dropping one of the most racist podcasts we’ve ever heard.
Suggested Reading
Owens’ target was none other than Fulton County, Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis, whom she called a “ghetto superstar.” And if you think that’s bad, wait till you hear the rest of what Owens had to say.
On Thursday, Willis took the stand to defend herself against a motion to remove her from the Georgia election interference case. Attorneys for former President Donald Trump and other co-defendants in the case alleged that Willis’ relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade tainted the proceedings.
While many people praised Willis’ passionate self-advocacy, Owens had a very different take.
In the headline of her podcast, Owens called Willis a “ghetto superstar,” adding that “Love and Hip Hop” should give her and her special prosecutor Wade a call. She then proceeded to play several clips of Willis’ testimony, summarizing them in the most racist way humanly possible.
“Ya, you heard her right, she don’t do her friends like that,” said Owens, mocking what she described as Willis’ use of “ebonics.”
During another clip, Owens paraphrased Willis’ testimony about the financial situation in her relationship with Wade, saying “Fani Willis, she don’t done need no man.”
Mind you, Willis does not talk like that. (But even if she did, it’s 2024, are we still really making fun of AAVE?!)
Owens also took the opportunity to stand on her anti-DEI soapbox. “The biggest argument against DEI is Fani Willis,” said Owens, implying that the district attorney was a diversity hire.
To be clear, you can feel any way you want about Willis, but calling her a diversity hire is not it. Willis previously served as deputy Fulton County district attorney for 17 years. After she left that office, she served as chief magistrate judge of South Fulton County, Ga. and was managing attorney of her own law office. Willis then beat out the incumbent district attorney to win her current position.
But sure... she’s a diversity hire.
There’s a lot more in Owens’ rant, like calling Willis’ testimony “so ghetto,” but this feels like more than enough Candace Owens for one day.
