Patreon Question: Handling Criticism and Public Attacks

At 6:26 · chapter starts 3:16

Shawn Ryan reads a Patreon question asking how Candace Owens maintains composure in the face of accusations of disloyalty to the Black and Christian communities. Owens explains that she has reached a point where online criticism simply doesn't reach her anymore. She credits this to having real substance in her life — marriage, children, a clear sense of self — that wasn't there when she first started out. Ryan admits he still struggles with criticism far more than she does, which leads to the first genuine laugh between them.

She turned off her phone, finished her confirmation, and addressed it only when she got home. The photo Trump used was one she had shared herself to discuss her battle with toxic mold illness.
