On Sunday, conservative firebrand Candace Owens appeared on Fox News to recap the year in politics and slam liberals, and ended up using an...interesting turn of phrase to explain Donald Trump's so-called appeal among the youth in America.

Confronted with poll numbers that show Donald Trump with 69% disapproval among those Americans between 15-26, Owens explained to Judge Jeanine Pirro that the polls are nonsense and, in fact:

"But this president, in particular, will appeal more to the youth generation. Something about him feels punk rock and rebellious. He’s rebelling against the establishment and the mainstream media."

You can watch the clip below:

It didn't take Twitter long to drag Owens for that doozy.

Literally the opposite.

The GIFs flowed in.

And they did not disappoint.

Pretty much sums it up.

2018 was a rough year for Owens, who roped Kanye West into her #Blexit campaign with predictably awkward results, and then there was her feud with fellow righty Tomi Lahren.

Her latest analysis seems to be going over just about as well.

Trump Slammed After Rudely Fat-Shaming Illinois Governor JB Pritzker During Turkey Pardon

In keeping with his own traditions, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump once again took what was supposed to be a lighthearted family-friendly occasion and injected it with his brand of bullying.

The POTUS's petty, puerile personality was on full dusplay during the White House's annual Thanksgiving turkey pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. Trump’s target was, as usual, a more popular political rival.

Trump Family Dragged After Promise Of 'Trump Mobile' Phones 'Made In The USA' Goes Up In Flames

An NBC News investigation reports that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump did not meet their pledge to launch U.S.-made smartphones through Trump Mobile. The rollout of both the devices and the wireless service missed its August target, and the company has since quietly removed the promise that the phones would be “made in the USA” from its website.

The Trump Mobile T1 phone was unveiled on the anniversary of Trump’s original presidential campaign launch, marking the Trump brand’s debut in the mobile device and wireless service market. At the time, the company said the phone would be available in August.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.
