The Candace Owens reports:

Candace Owens is back at it again, proving that no right-wing rant is complete without a little casual homophobia sprinkled on top. While attempting to prove she is just an unbothered DIY queen who doesn’t need a professional glam squad, she managed to drag gay men into her podcast logistical drama. Because of course she did.

My point here is that she is NOT a full-time employee who stands by and does hair and make-up for me or others during the show. During the actual podcast, it’s quite literally just me and my producers. Schuyler or Ashlee in my ear saying “you have a hair sticking up” and I just correct it like a normal person. One of the things I hate about politics is that it’s filling with a bunch of theatre boys that Hollywood-rejected. It’s not that difficult to dress yourself, and wipe your own face if you think you appear oily. Asking a grown man if they were provided make up and wardrobe to go have a conversation is just gay.

Leave it to Candace to turn a routine question about production budgets into a middle-school homophobic insult. We would tell her to do better, but baseline decency clearly isn’t in her contract.
