Debunking Candace Owens’ Evil Bulls***
"NCRI found that Owens's Erica-targeting posts on a given day predicted elevated threat volume 2 days later, a statistically unlikely pattern. One of the 10 highest volume accounts generating Erica Kirk-related content was one called Adam E Media, which references Owens in 26.2% of his posts. This is a pro-Russia fake MAGA node, this particular account."
The National Contagion Research Institute analyzed over 712,000 X posts targeting Erica Kirk and found 1,034 contained explicit threats, with 82.7% being genuine. The study found Candace Owens's posts about Erica Kirk statistically predicted increased threat volume two days later, and that pro-Russia accounts amplified the conspiracy theories. Owens herself made 412 posts mentioning Kirk or TPUSA during the period studied.
