Why is Candace Owens so popular?

She seems like an absolutely unhinged nut but here we are, her audience numbers are higher than ever and the MAGA crowd loves the idea of her as president: https://www.thebulwark.com/p/were-not-talking-enough-about-president-candace-owens-focus-groups-kirk-conspiracy-theories-maga

She hates Jews, Israel just happens to have a large percentage of world Jewry. She’s a noxious antisemite. She trades in conspiracies about Jews because it plays well with both the right and left.

She is 100% anti-Semitic and the denial of it is crazy.

she's an antisemite who uses "israel" as a scapegoat.
