The media bias is evident considering the coverage given to comparatively small events held by the San Diego County Democratic Party. This is nothing new, of course, but further reveals the severity of media bias not just at the national level\u2014but here in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candace Owens is a political commentator known for her vocal criticisms of the Democratic Party and the left as a whole. She has dedicated her career to fighting the liberal machine and encouraging Americans, especially those caught in the chokehold of what she describes as the \u201cDemocratic Plantation.\u201d Currently, she stars in PragerU\u2019s \u201cThe Candace Owens Show\u201d and serves as the head of the \u201cBlexit\u201d Movement\u2014a political movement encouraging African-American voters to break away from the Democratic Party.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What an honor it is to be able fill rooms like this and a reminder to us all that California is not a lost cause. <br \/>Thank you, San Diego for having me.\u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BLEXIT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BLEXIT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MAGA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MAGA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KAG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KAG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MakeCaliGreatAgain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MakeCaliGreatAgain<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N8Qh07j6td\">https:\/\/t.co\/N8Qh07j6td<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealCandaceO\/status\/1224731727790145536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 4, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the event, Owens discussed her passion for changing liberal hearts and minds. She recounted how she has always been at odds with how America\u2019s education system pushes a narrative of indoctrination, telling students <em>what<\/em> to think instead of <em>how<\/em> to think. She has long noted that this robs students of their ability to think for themselves, leading them to become reliable Democratic voters as adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAn educated mind can&#8217;t be enslaved,\u201d Owens said, emphasizing how the prevention of free thought is leading to an indoctrinated and submissive society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Republican candidates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherman2020.com\/\">Scott Sherman<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votefornguyen.com\/\">Michelle Nguyen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noli2020.com\/\">Noli Zosa<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/joeforsandiego.com\/\">Joe Leventhal<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewgade.com\/\">Andrew Gade<\/a> joined Owens in the speaker lineup, exemplifying the best of what Republican candidates in San Diego have to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">February\u2019s Central Committee was a true display of Republican pride, loyalty, and integrity.
