Candace Owens Unhappy Over FBI “Showing Up At Doors” To Investigate Capitol Attack

The FBI is continuing to investigate to get to the roots of the January 6th attack on the nation, and on Democracy, and Candace Owens is not happy about it. She tweeted Wednesday evening to complain about Federal law enforcement agents visiting the homes of suspects.

As Owens complained about the investigation, she never explicitly said whether agents showed up at her own door, but she said that several of her friends who attended Trump’s insurrection day speech were questioned about their presence in D.C. She does not suggest that they were in any way charged or threatened, only questioned about their proximity to the scene of the crime.

About 10 of my friends who attended Trump’s speech but DID NOT go to Capitol building thereafter have had the FBI turn up at their door to ask them why they went to D.C

This is criminal intimidation. Our FBI is trying to scare conservatives against ever gathering in the future.

Owens’ ‘BLEXIT’ group holds Back the Blue events, but she indicates her support of law enforcement doesn’t extend to the Federal level, and seems to hint that questioning people who were at the scene of a crime and share ideology with the attackers, determining whether the individuals are suspects or witnesses, is somehow the equivalent of the government’s efforts to prevent Martin Luther King Jr. from fighting racism.

Our FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, was created to intimidate harass and blackmail American citizens who went against their preferred politics.

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of their many targets.

It is appalling to think that under @JoeBiden they are harassing Trump supporters.

Replying to a since-deleted tweet, Owens insists that the investigation is “political harassment,” targeted to intimidate conservatives, and prevent right-wing political movements from organizing in the future.

I agree with this emphatically.
I am a huge supporter of law enforcement but what is happening right now in America is not about enforcing any laws.

It’s political harassment, plain and simple, and every American should be outraged about it.

She does not address that there have been no such investigations of other political rallies or protests by Trump supporters, when those rallies and protests did not in turn lead to an attempt, however failing, to overthrow the U.S. government and install the candidate who lost the election.
