From fringe YouTuber to “the new face of Black conservatism,” Candace Owens’ rise wasn’t inevitable, but the system that rewarded it was. In part 2 of the miniseries, Cristen traces how Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, The Daily Wire and a billionaire-backed right-wing media ecosystem legitimized Candace as a reactionary culture warrior—while Kanye West supercharged her celebrity. But as Candace pushed further, testing the limits of “free speech” and anti-woke conspiracism, the same institutions disavowed her. It's the story of how she became too powerful for them to control.
