Candace Owens responds to Matt Tardio’s warning
The discussion began after Matt Tardio posted on X, “Again… If Candace has all of her electronics seized, try not to be shocked.” His post quoted another user who questioned Owens’ presentation of rooftop footage linked to the case.
Owens replied on X, writing, “If I have all of my electronics seized, try not to be shocked when every piece of footage and evidence hits the internet immediately anyway. When an investigation is truly decentralized, there is no nucleus that can be captured.”
