== Update Controversies,Moon Landings, 2024:she's "never believed in the moon landings",no longer accurate to quote 2022 "she claims she doesn't care" either way ==
== Removal of "far-right" descriptor ==


Currently, it just quotes her as "Addressing a 2022 tweet about the Moon landing being "faked", Owens stated on comedian Bill Maher's Club Random podcast that she does not know or care enough about the Moon landing to call it a hoax, stating that she has "never cared about the topic."" But she can no longer say she doesn't care, found this video clip:
Since some editors are objecting to the inclusion of the term ] without discussing it on the talk page, I'll start the discussion.


" '''I've never been a person that believed in the moon landings''', it's always felt a little foolish to me...in 1969 we had basically NOTHING technologically and then we stopped going after a period of years during which our government really wanted to distract us from some stuff that they were doing overseas" (0:00:37-0:00:54), https://old.bitchute.com/video/24gC1gnNNTNb/
I believe the use of the term is appropriate here. There's quite a few news sources (provided in the ]) that use the term when referring to her, and a quick search .

Such labels are often reporter opinion mixed into factual reports on what she said. ] (]) 13:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

:I agree with the removal of far-right here. The sources are insufficient to use this label in the lede right now; of the ones added with the original edit to the article, the only RSP I see there is The Guardian, as the article from The Hill doesn't even use the term far-right. She's much more widely described as a conservative commentator (as opposed to the above examples of MTG and Boebert who are expressly called "far-right politicians" in many articles) and unless this changes the sources aren't overwhelming enough to justify it being in the lede.

:Per above, I agree that this doesn't belong in the ], as is not a widespread description. Also agree with the MTG and Boebert comparison; she's not quite there yet, probably one more antisemitic controversy away at present. I have however replaced the MREL reference with multiple GREL in the body per this edit , as it appears very much due at this point. I don't really see how this can be summarised in the lead without regurgitation, apart from in the final paragraph at a stretch, but I do wonder whether multiple GREL makes it relevant in the infobox under movement, given the quantity and quality of current references. ] (]) 16:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


== Update required - controversies ==
Can we re-visit this conversation? The discussion of whether or not Owens is far right took place in March, when she was considerably more mainstream. Since then, she has had countless comments that would put her safely in the neo-Nazi camp, to a much greater extent than others (such as MTG) that carry the label of far right. I propose adding "far right" to the descriptor. ] (]) 10:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

:Per the of far-right, it's pretty shocking to have {{tq|"Described as "the new face of black conservatism" by ''The Washington Post''"}} in the lead from a single source, compared to the ] description of far-right from a bunch of RS. For starters the description from 2019, while relevant back then, seems considerably outdated and no other sources appear to describe Owens as such. As someone on the right that has delved into antisemitism, being described as far-right also appears entirely accurate. ] (]) 13:03, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

::I'm sorry but I do not think that this is at all reasonable ground for a revert. Looking at this issue historically, Candace Owens was already carrying the far-right label at the beginning of this debate and the fact that the events of the last 6 months have established "far right" as being an appropriate descriptor makes this update more relevant, not less. Furthermore, I gave ample time for others to interject on this topic and you could have contributed to the discussion and waited for consensus. I did that, and I added sources.

If there is another place in the article you think it is better placed, than feel free to suggest it.

== Section needed for Antisemitic Statements ==

In the last couple of months, Owens has moved far beyond "Israel-Palestine" in terms of her comments that veer into antisemitism. For example, she has suggested multiple times that the "Jewish lobby" killed JFK, defended the Nazis explicitly (i.e. "the Germans were the ones being ethnically cleansed"), doubting the experiments of Dr. Josef Mangele and denouncing them as propaganda, and most recently declaring that anyone that criticizes Israel needs to fear getting killed. This is after many other extreme comments that blatantly veer into antisemitism.

Since I have sources for all of the above, I would like to put these in the article. However, I don't think that "Israel-Palestine" is an appropriate place to do so as this is more in the realm of Neo-Nazi rhetoric and should have it's own section with a title like "accusations of anti-semitism." If anyone opposes this please post here, otherwise I will create the section in the coming days. ] (]) 08:23, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
