Stephen A. Smith interviews Candace Owens; proves he 'doesn’t have the GUTS' to run for president



After rumors of Stephen A. Smith’s potential candidacy began to swirl, the ESPN host decided to stir the pot even further by having Candace Owens on his show.

“When that young lady speaks, don’t even think about challenging her intelligence. Don’t even think about challenging her ability to articulate her point of view. You better know what the hell you’re talking about when you come at her,” Smith said after his interview with the conservative powerhouse.

“Some people are making a mistake and thinking that Stephen A. has some interest perhaps in running as a Republican, or launching a political career as a Republican,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments.

“He’s a hard-core Democrat. He’s just pretending that he’s a reasonable Democrat,” he adds.


Steve Kim watched his interview with Owens and “thought it was an intellectual mismatch.”

“If there should be a broadcast personality that should run for president or any type of office, it would be Candace. It is not Stephen A. Smith,” Kim says. “Stephen, there’s a lot you don’t know, because you’re not that intelligent when it comes to this.”

“You’re really not, and you’re a bit of a caricature. You like to bloviate, you give great sound bites, but that interview right there would have shown that in a debate setting, with more serious people, he would be completely overmatched,” he continues.

And it’s not just that he’s not built for the position intellectually — but he doesn’t have the guts, either.

“The one thing I do like about Candace,” Kim says, “whether I agree or disagree with her or not, because that’s irrelevant. No one’s gonna agree with anybody on everything. But when she takes a hard-line position, she does not try to soften it in any way.”

“In other words, she plants her flag and she says, ‘This is what I think, and if you don’t like it, I don’t care,’” he continues. “The issue with Stephen A. Smith is I don’t think he has guts, I really don’t.”

“I think you’re right that he has no guts,” Whitlock responds. “And maybe doesn’t have the stomach for political office.”

“As a politician, I believe you have to be able to take hard-line stances and stick with them. I hate this fake forced neutrality where if you say one good thing about something,” Kim chimes in, “to give the air that you're unbiased, you have to say something you really don’t mean nice about the other side.”

Right-wing women HOTTER than libs?



Are conservative women more attractive than their progressive counterparts?

An artificial intelligence study out of Denmark has found this to be the case — and Lauren Chen isn’t the least bit surprised.

The study was published in the Natured-owned journal Scientific Reports and found that AI can predict a person’s political ideology with 61% accuracy when one single headshot is analyzed.

“Frankly, most of us have known for years that conservative women do tend to be more attractive,” Chen comments.

The study analyzed 3,200 publicly submitted photos of political candidates who ran in the 2017 Danish municipal election and assessed the person’s emotional state in the photo.

According to the study, “high attractiveness scores were found among those the model identified as likely to be conservative” and these “results are credible given that previous research using human raters has also highlighted a link between attractiveness and conservatism.”

Those who seemed happier in photos were also found more likely to be conservative.

“I mean think about it, especially from a feminist lens, all we hear from the left non-stop is that traditional beauty standards are patriarchal and also racist,” Chen says.

Chen notes the growing trend of social media videos in which liberals compare their former long-haired, happy selves to their new, edgy, progressive, often blue-haired, looks.

“I’ve done videos comparing before and after photos of women who used to look normal and pretty and then who turn into ugly screeching feminists, like, after going to college.”

“It’s true,” Chen continues, “feminism or left-wing ideology does cause some women — and I would say a growing number of women — to actually reject beauty and reject aesthetic standards. It’s all part really of subverting the current order.”

While Chen believes women who become engulfed in left-wing ideology tend to begin to look worse, she also believes that women who are unattractive to begin with may be more naturally inclined toward left-wing ideology.

“I reject the idea that conservatism, especially modern-day, American conservatism, upholds things like patriarchy or white supremacy; but I don’t think it’s a secret that conservatism and right-wing beliefs do enforce, let's say, hierarchies.”
