Early Beginnings and Anti Trump Propaganda
In 2015, Candace started working as the CEO of Degree180, a marketing agency for which she was writing a blog. In that blog, she promoted her anti-conservative attitude and criticism towards President Donald Trump. She was very bold in her statements, making her sudden conversation into a pro-Trump activist even more shocking.How Candace Owens Changed Her Mind
Candace had an idea to start a website that would expose all cyberbullies by encouraging their victims to share screenshots as proof. However, this idea quickly turned against Candace. People thought that this would do more harm to the victims because they would have to step out and de-anonymize themselves. Some of Candace's loudest critics were conservatives involved in Gamergate.However, when it seemed like there’s no way out, Candace managed to turn things in her favor. Owens stated that those accusations about de-anonymizing victims come from Gamergate to make her look bad. All of a sudden, she was a conservative, but her website never saw the light of the day. From 2017 to 2019, she worked as a communications director of the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA.
