Now I'm used to debunking absurd right-wing arguments, even wrote a book called Responding

to the Right.

Brief replies to 25 conservative arguments available from fine booksellers everywhere.

But conservative podcaster and author Candice Owens is really on another level entirely.

Many of her proclamations are so bizarre, they seem better described as symptoms than ideas.

She has said, for instance, that the munchkins in the Wizard of Oz are performing a satanic ritual

when they celebrate the death of the Wicked Witch.

Before the Wicked Witch, if that's what we're calling her, shows up, the munchkins, umpalumpas, whatever you want to

call them, are throwing a party while there is a dead person under a house and they're

skipping with Dorothy seeing ding dong the witch is dead. While there's a dead person at center,

right, there's somebody that's dead and they're dancing and saying, which, oh,

which, obviously, this is some sort of a satanic ritual.

She says that Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama, Vladimir Zelensky, and Immanuel Macron are all gay,

and that this is, quote, not a coincidence. She has cast doubt on the crimes of Nazi doctor Joseph Mengala, saying his ghoulish experiments sound absurd and would have been a waste of time and supplies. Some of the stories, by the way, sound completely absurd. I'm really like the idea that they just like cut a human up and then sewed them back together. Why would you do that? Literally, even if you're the most evil person in the world, that's a tremendous waste of time and supplies, just slice a person in half and sew them together.

That just sounds like bizarre propaganda.

Naturally, she, of course, believes we faked the moon landing. In fact, she says all of our space

programs were both fake and gay. You must come to terms of the fact that NASA and space missions have always been this

fake and gay.

You just weren't alive for the original ones.

And you need to learn the history of NASA, of the Apollo programs, which were occult

and satanic.

It was literally meant to be an AntichChrist movement to make people believe in man.
