Candace Owens Sees Plot to 'Destroy Fabrics of Society' in Minnie Mouse Wearing a Pantsuit

https://www.thedailybeast.com/candace-owens-sees-plot-to-destroy-fabrics-of-society-in-minnie-mouse-wearing-a-pantsuit



Candace Owens argued with a completely straight face late Wednesday that a new campaign featuring Minnie Mouse in a pantsuit in France is evidence of a progressive plot to “destroy fabrics of society” and distract from bacon that she claims costs $30 in the U.S.

Speaking to Jesse Watters on Fox News, Owens appeared to barely contain her outrage. “I mean look, this is why people don’t take these people seriously,” she said. “They’re trying to destroy fabrics of our society saying that there’s issues, so everybody looks over here. Look at Minnie Mouse. Don’t look at inflation, Jesse, look at Minnie Mouse. The world is going forward because you’ve got her in a pantsuit. Never mind that you can’t get anything at the grocery store and you can’t buy a piece of bacon unless you’ve got $30 in your pocket. At least we’re addressing the real problem, which is Minnie Mouse,” she said.

It was not immediately clear where Owens got the idea that Minnie Mouse’s traditional red and white polka dot dress had been deemed a “problem.” Disneyland Paris and designer Stella McCartney made very clear in statements this week that the Disney character’s new garb is only temporary, part of a one-month promotion to honor Women’s History Month in March and Disney’s 30th anniversary of its Paris theme park.

Their sickness is beyond any hope for sanity.

I hope they don't continue to attack Minnie Mouse.

I'm sure there's some store in some extremely remote part of the country that's selling $30 bacon. But, the vast majority isn't paying anywhere near that. They love to find some extreme outlier somewhere, and claim that's what everyone is paying, whether it's bacon, gas, or anything else.

I would not even have known anything about Minnie Mouse in a pant suit. The level of projection is astonishing. No one except maybe Disney fans, cares about Minnie wearing a pantsuit.

Only idiot right wingers who want to grift on stupid culture war topics to maybe distract from the fact that her party tried to, and is still trying to overthrow the legitimately elected government of the United States, are talking about this.

First it was the M&Ms. Now, it's Minnie Mouse. It's downright creepy. Please don't tell Candace about Fritz the Cat. She'd probably stroke out.

Democrats worry about COVID, the exon9my, the environment, throwing Trump’s private army in jail…

Republicans worry about what cartoon characters wear.

The culture of fear Ms. Owens attempts to promote to her audience does more harm than a pair of pants on Minnie.

It can't just be that after several decades of wear, Minnie needed to send her dress to the cleaners, or that she's put on a few COVID pounds and it doesn't fit anymore. Heck no.


**Some undefined "they" are PLOTTING to cause some undefined "harm." TO YOU!!!! BE AFRAID!!! BE VERY AFRAID!!!! AND BE ANGRY!!!!!**

She wouldn't be able to make a living if she weren't pushing fear and outrage. And the culture warriors are so addicted to it that they eat it up like candy.
