Candace Owens slams Democrats, media for 'mob justice' in Derek Chauvin trial
Fox News
Author and conservative analyst Candace Owens reacted to the guilty verdict lodged against former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd as a symptom of a perpetual media and Democrat Party narrative absent many facts about the case.
"What we are really seeing is mob justice, and that is really what happened with this entire trial. This was not a trial about George Floyd and Derek Chauvin," she told "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "This was a trial about whether the media was powerful enough to create a simulation and decide upon a narrative absent any facts." Owens said a teenager's cell phone video of Floyd's encounter with Chauvin was played on a loop, while other information about the incident seemed intentionally left out, pointing to details about the fentanyl Floyd had ingested prior to his death. "The media told us [Floyd] was a man who is just getting his life together. A good member of society, and he mixed up because a 'racist white police officer' had it out for him and killed him... All of that fell apart," Owens said, adding that the Fentanyl context is ignored by the activists. "They kept hitting that narrative, and the Democrats are happy because they realized the media supports them and that now means Democrats can get whatever they want."More Related News
