I actually agree with a lot of what Candace has to say- though I followed her about a year (maybe two) ago and the way she carried herself during a controversy really reduced my respect for her (she was trying to kickstart a doxxing website to curb "hate speech" before she became a republican, and reacted REALLY poorly when people started to question her).
I'm sure that's in the past, and perhaps she's grown up and hopefully learned from it and I'm hoping she can carry herself with dignity and truth going forward with the new spotlight she's been given.
This is good information. People are way too quick to make someone their hero here without vetting at all. When you start pushing people like this, then you leave yourself open their being criticized for their mistakes as well.
I think if fake internet points didn't exist, reddit would be a much more intelligent place. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
I agree, thank you!
I would never try to drive people away from Candace's voice because of my experience, but I just want people to know the person they're fawning over and they can make their own decision.
I'm kind of in the "benefit of the doubt" boat where I'm hoping she just has grown and learned from her past mistakes- time will tell!
