Conservative commentator Candace Owens thinks that Jimmy Kimmel did something even Chevy Chase couldn’t do: Ruin late-night television.
Owens made an appearance this weekend on Judge Jeanine Pirro’s Fox News “Justice With Judge Jeanine” show, where she was asked to opine on some of the more ridiculous quotes of the week.
One of them was, unsurprisingly, supplied by Kimmel, who’s treated the Trump presidency as if it wasn’t just a new wellspring of jokes but the only thing that one can and should joke about. This week, Kimmel declared he would prefer a member of the simian family be behind the desk in the Oval Office.
“I’ve got to say say, I would rather we had a chimpanzee as president of the United States,” Kimmel said to rapturous applause from his simpatico audience Tuesday.
“At least with a chimp there would be somebody to eat the bugs out of Rudy Giuliani’s hair,” he added. – READ MORE

Last month during a political rally in Los Angeles, Waters said, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that (Trump) Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them.”
Appearing on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday, Owens, who serves as the communications director for Turning Point USA, was asked to respond to a letter by “Black Woman Leaders and Allies” sent to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi calling on them to support Waters.
The conservative activist went on to predict that fellow African Americans will be leaving the Democrat Party.
“There is going to be a major black exit from the Democrat Party, and they are going to actually have to actually compete for their votes in 2020,” she said. “We are already seeing a major shift.”
I’m calling it now, the black community, which has been politically irrelevant for decades, will become the most politically relevant voting group by 2020.
The greatest untapped resource in America is the black community.
Our awakening is finally happening.

Owens pointed to the power of social media as one reason that African Americans are reconsidering their long-time allegiance to the Democratic Party. – READ MORE
