Candace Owens to Students ‘Victimized’ by Her Presence on Campus: ‘Life’s Tough, Get a Helmet’
Candace Owens, a conservative commentator and co-founder of BLEXIT, is going viral for her response to a question posed to her during Turning Point USA’s Live Free Tour.
During the Q&A session of TPUSA’s Live Free Tour event at the University at Albany, a female student stood up and asked the conservative show host how she would respond to transgender-identifying students on campus who feel “actively victimized” by her presence.
Owens, who is currently eight months pregnant, responded bluntly and truthfully to the student, saying, “Life’s tough. Get a helmet, man. I’m too pregnant for this.” Her candid remark immediately drew applause from the audience.
The video of Owens’ response has been shared all over Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok. Shortly after, Owens followed up on X with an additional response to the student’s question.
“I am over 8 months pregnant with two toddlers at home,” said Owens. “If you are a 20-year-old adult who feels ‘actively victimized’ by my standing on stage to speak about social and economic conservatism, it is because your parents failed you, entirely.”
“It is not my job to coddle adults,” she concluded.
The TPUSA Live Free Tour, featuring Candace Owens and TPUSA Founder and CEO Charlie Kirk, aims to empower students to engage with conservative ideas and counter the prevailing left-wing ideology that has dominated college campuses across the country.
