Much attention was paid to the meeting between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk. But NewsNation host Chris Cuomo thinks it’s all an act.
During his NewsNation primetime show on Tuesday, Cuomo shared his belief that any dust-up between Candace Owens and any other personality or figure is a chance to draw interest, attention, and notoriety to herself.
“It’s all an act,” said Cuomo. “Candace Owens versus TPUSA? Really? When they just met, and it’s over just like that?”
After playing the clip of Owens telling her followers that she was “alive” after meeting with Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, before calling the meeting “productive,” Cuomo took issue with the encapsulation from Owens.
“‘I am alive’? How do you take this seriously? Why do you guys keep asking me questions about this? ‘Egyptian airplanes’? ‘I’m alive’? Who is she meeting with? Hamas? Or a widow who is graciously trying to squash the fake furor surrounding her husband’s murder? Talk about performative,” Cuomo continued.
“And then she’s at a party with the same people,” he added. “Come on, man. Pick up on the game already, and stop rewarding people for playing. It’s just performative.
