After GOP Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance said that if “you’re going to punch the Iranians, you punch them hard” instead of doing what he characterized as “these weak little bombing runs,” controversial political pundit Candace Owens expressed outrage.
Owens, a former communications director for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA and former Daily Wire media personality, slammed Vance’s call to raise the aggression level against Iran.
Like is it possible for us to get one effing person in office who doesn’t immediately speak about how we need to continue bombing the Middle East?

The sharp rebuke of Vance on mideast policy hasn’t resulted in a wedge between Owens and the Trump family, as Donald Trump Jr. and Owens will chat together an upcoming Nashville conference where the GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is the keynote speaker
The notice reads: “Candace Owens and Donald Trump Jr. will headline a fireside chat at L27 (the rooftop lounge at Nashville’s Westin Hotel) on Friday, July 26, at 7:30 PM CT. Camryn Kimsey will moderate the panel discussion, which will discuss the future of crypto, the state of American politics, and more timely topics.”
