Candace Owens has basically two central arguments in Weinstein's defense. The first one is 130 women.

I do want to quickly name. She has said that he was convicted on the basis of three women's stories. That's not correct. He was convicted on the basis of three women's stories in New York and five stories in L.A. So that's eight women's total. For most people, that would be a lot. But it is true that for Weinstein, that's only about 10 percent of his accusers who made it to the courtroom.

She is making a lot out of the fact that a lot of the women who have accused Weinstein stayed in contact with him after their alleged attacks. How does someone get raped over five years? Some of them sent him friendly or affectionate messages, or they asked for professional favors. So Candace Owens' take is that this proves that they were being what she calls sugar babies.

And that they were they had a quid pro quo set up of asking for professional advancement in exchange for sexual favors.

She has two big demographics that are compelled by her story. And they're actually kind of similar to Joe Rogan's audience, but maybe more feminine leaning. So she has a lot of people who identify as sort of quote unquote free thinkers who don't like the narratives that are offered by the media and are maybe susceptible to some conspiratorial thinking.

She's also got an audience of young women who are not particularly engaged with politics and are kind of just there for her takes on celebrities.

Yeah, so Weinstein actually said that he originally tried to dissuade her from getting involved because of her history of anti-Semitism.
