CANDACE Owens doubled down on her criticism of Meghan Markle today, telling her followers “if you believe Meghan Markle is a victim, you’re an idiot.”
The outspoken conservative political commentator seconded Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s comments dissecting Meghan’s answers during the Oprah interview.

She quote tweeted a video of Carlson laying into the Duchess for her “petty argument” with sister-in-law Kate Middleton on his nightly show, expressing her admiration, writing: “Tucker always nails it.”
Carlson mocked Meghan’s claims, saying “Stop the presses, she and her sister-in-law had a tiff about clothes… that’s never happened before.
“She thinks it’s important enough to bring up in a television interview, this was her 9/11, so of course she considers it newsworthy. Okay, so she’s a narcissist, guessed that.”
Owens, who made a name for herself expressing her right-wing views, responded to the clip with the outlandish statement: “If you believe Meghan Markle is a victim, you’re an idiot. There’s really no other way to say it.”
“Bad press over bridesmaid dresses does not make you want to kill yourself and your unborn child unless you are: A) Unstable B) Lying for sympathy C) Both.”
The perilous pair picked apart Meghan’s version of events that challenged media reports a few years ago that she had made Middleton cry.
Meghan said: “”I’m not sharing that piece about Kate to be disparaging about her,” before adding she hopes the Duchess of Cambridge would have wanted the rumours to be corrected.
Owens’ derogatory declaration was immediately condemned by social media users, who told her to “put herself in Meghan’s shoes.”
“Meghan is a beautiful confident woman – the press should be less critical of her and allow her to be the person she wants to be. Just imagine if it was you or a member of your family being a target…. how would you react!!!!” one posted.
Another added: “Once again, Candace, you are willfully missing the point. Any of your followers who struggle with depression are hearing your dismissal loud and clear. You are possibly killing people with your words!”
“Two of the most overrated and privileged people on the planet!” one user dubbed Carlson and Owens.
It follows the founder of the Blexit organisation taking to Twitter to berate Meghan and Prince Harry for taking part in the explosive interview with the US’ most famous talk show host.
She previously tweeted that “her and Harry implying that everything that happened to them is because of her blackness is a sickening level of scapegoating,” after the interview aired.
Owens previously claimed that Trump’s impeachment had “nothing to do” with the deadly US Capitol riots that left five dead.
She claimed that Black History Month is “praising black people without knowing them.”
Owens also slammed former President Barack Obama, and claimed Trump’s rise was a reaction to him.
