From the National Center For Public Policy Research:
In an opinion piece published this weekend in USA Today, Melissa Ortiz – senior advisor for the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Able Americans program – took the Daily Wire’s Candace Owens to task for her recent remarks on disability representation in advertising.
During an episode of her podcast, Owens said about an ad depicting a woman in a wheelchair modeling underwear: “I don’t really understand how far we are going to take this inclusivity thing.” She added: “I don’t know why this needs to be done. I’m just getting tired of this all-inclusivity thing, it just seems ridiculous.”
Owens’ unapologetic comments have garnered wide-ranging disapproval across the political spectrum, including Hollywood actress Christina Applegate – who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021. Applegate commented on Twitter: “Woke to see the most horrible thing. This Candace person making comments about companies who see we need help. It’s f****** gross.”
“Owens’ comments, intentionally hurtful at worst or uneducated and thoughtless at best, were nothing more than clickbait,” Ortiz continued. “No one should reward this behavior. It makes all conservatives, especially conservative women, look bad. That is not what the freedom movement is about, and her comments about people with disabilities do not reflect conservative values.”
The group quoted above has appeared on JMG multiple times for their strategy of planting anti-LGBTQ activists at shareholders meetings for major companies.
From @usatodayopinion | “To Owens and others who follow her line of thinking on this: Does the model in the wheelchair make more sense now? It’s not just about being inclusive, it’s about practicality and the ability to sell merchandise.”https://t.co/qN5x34xaD5

Of course, a person who said Hitler was fine before he invaded other countries and when he was just focused on “making Germany great” (which included euthanizing the disabled) would complain about this…what a trash human @RealCandaceO ishttps://t.co/EqxsgWLxOn

College drop-out Candace Owens adamantly believes the moon landing was faked.
Stay in school, kids.
