Highly controversial media personality and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens is set to appear alongside Donald Trump Jr. for a “fireside chat” at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville.
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will be the keynote speaker at Bitcoin 2024 Nashville, which will see other speakers like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Edward Snowden, and Russel Brand take the stage.
Owens, who recently cast doubt on key facts related to the Holocaust, does not appear as an official speaker at the conference as her event is sponsored by a group called MAGAA – Make America Great Again, Again.
Late last week, Trump Jr shared that he would be participating in the MAGAA-sponsored event, which at the time did not yet show Owens as a panelist for the chat. “Make America Great Again, AGAIN has a nice ring to it!” Trump Jr. wrote on X while sharing a promotional flyer for the event, which appears to be hyping a new Bitcoin token as well.
The conversation between Owens and Trump Jr. will be hosted by former Trump White House official Camryn Kinsey, who was hired by former
Trump Presidential Personnel Office director John McEntee as external relations director. McEntee has since raised eyebrows for his alleged central role in the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and as an advisor to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.
Owens, who was fired from the Daily Wire after publicly feuding with Ben Shapiro and a string of statements widely seen as anti-Semitic, has continued to court controversy in recent months. Owens vowed she would stake her entire “professional reputation” on the claim that France’s first lady, who has given birth to biological children, was actually born a man.
Owens made headlines a few weeks ago when she defended avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, whose so-called “Groyper Army” used to troll Trump Jr. events and disrupt them. Owens praised Fuentes for calling out the number of Jews serving in the Biden administration and lambasted Jordan Peterson for criticizing Fuentes for doing so as part of an anti-Semitic attack on Biden’s Israel policy.
The announcement of the event with Owens and Trump Jr. read:
Candace Owens and Donald Trump Jr. will headline a fireside chat at L27 (the rooftop lounge at Nashville’s Westin Hotel) on Friday, July 26, at 7:30 PM CT. Camryn Kimsey will moderate the panel discussion, which will discuss the future of crypto, the state of American politics, and more timely topics.“Censorship is growing out of control in America. It’s more important
than ever to have control over your currency and payments,” Candace Owens says. “That is why I’m so excited about crypto.”
In early July, Owens engaged in Holocaust revisionism saying that accounts of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments sounded to her like “bizarre propaganda.” Owens also wildly claimed that the real genocide in World War II was perpetrated by the allied countries, including the United States, not Nazi Germany.
