Candace Owens reports Dem hopeful to cops over KKK hood pic sent in reply to tweet about violence against black people
CANDACE Owens has filed a police report against “racist” Democratic hopeful Liam O’Mara after he sent her a picture of a Ku Klux Klan hood on Twitter.
O’Mara, who ran and lost in the November 2020 congressional election in California’s 42nd district, , along with the message “Yikes”, “You may’ve dropped this”.
The ring-wing commentator has hit back at the message with a series of tweets, in which she claims she has filed a police report against O’Mara for the widely-criticised move.
“Just got off the phone with the Riverside County Sheriff Department,”
“Guess who is filing a police report against you for your little klansmen act that you keep defending?
“I am DONE with you racist Democrats thinking you can do and say whatever you want to black conservatives.”
An earlier tweet from Owens read: “How do we feel about Democrats sending photos of Ku Klux Klan hoods to black conservatives as an insult because I’m pretty sure—as my grandfather is still alive and breathing and suffered the REAL klansmen in his youth— that this is RACIST and you are a PIG for sending this.”
O’Mara’s tweet and picture was sent in response to a tweet by Owens about black crime.
“The #1 violent offenders against black people are other black people. The #1 violent offenders against Asian Americans are also black people. But both #BlackLivesMatter and #AsianLivesMatter are campaigns dedicated to stomping out white supremacy because, clown world,” the tweet read.
Owens tweeted a call for Twitter Safety to remove O’Mara’s account, and then later tweeted that she’d had a response saying the tweet did not constitute a violation of their rules.
"Might not be a crime on Twitter but guess what?!" Owens tweeted.
"It’s a crime in the real world. you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing this to fly."
