Candace Owens is claiming that Amber Rose is “struggling” with rejection and judgment from those on both sides of the political aisle after declaring her support for Donald Trump in this year’s election, media Take Out has learned.
Amber was once a critic of Trump, but she endorsed the former president in May.
Since doing so, Amber’s received an avalanche of conservative backlash after it was revealed that she would be speaking at this week’s Republican National Convention (RNC), due in part to her involvement in spearheading the Los Angeles “SlutWalk”—a feminist movement against slut-shaming and sexµal assault.
During her speech on Monday, Amber said that she realized Trump and his supporters were her “people” because they “love” all people “whether you’re Black, white, gay or straight.” Trump could be seen smiling from the audience as Rose spoke.
Conservative commentator Owens has revealed on a livestream of her podcast that she recently spoke with Rose and sensed that she was “struggling” with being stuck in a “horrible limbo” between some friends rejecting her for her stance and a faction of Republicans viewing her political switch with cynicism.
“I’ve had, just to be open about this, a conversation with her, and I sensed very much—I’m a gut player—that she was very genuine, and that she is very much struggling right now because of this horrible limbo of realizing that your friends on the left don’t want you anymore, because God forbid you wear a MAGA hat, and your potential friends on the right are now pulling through your pages and saying, ‘Hahaha, look at this girl.'”
“Let’s just not do that,” Owens added. “Let’s just press pause for a second and give her the space to learn, because she is not going to be what we would want her to be if she decides to stay within this realm. She’s simply sharing her story, and I think that she’s very much allowed to do that.”
Elsewhere on her podcast, Owens, who described Rose’s RNC speech as “a highlight of the evening,” said that “there are very many women who are living a life, or have been living a life, like Amber Rose on OnlyFans, trying to get attention, trying to sell their bodies. Quite literally, that’s that’s what she was doing in Hollywood, trying to sell your body, to get a magazine cover…
“So people are watching and seeing her try to transition into something else. And it is going to signify—whether you believe it should or not—to other women who are living this sort of a life, that they can be something else.”
“And so what I struggle with, with the Republican Party, or rather the conservative movement, are these purity tests,” Owens added, before explaining that she was subjected to such treatment when she initially rose to prominence after switching from being a Democrat.
“My videos were going so viral, I was being invited on the Fox News. And of course, I went, because, wow, that’s amazing. I can say something I believe in. And they’re telling me there’s an audience of people that want to hear this? Amazing. And then instantly, the purity test game.”
