“The truth is, is we got here from women. The transgendered movement has been ushered in by women. I was explaining this to Charlie just now on his radio show. I said every ill that we are fighting right now in society has been brought forth by women.” – Candace Owens, speaking at Turning Point USA’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit.
Media Matters reports that the event is sponsored by a shady anti-vax and pro-police outfit:
A 2019 investigative report from the IndyStar revealed that the organization does not have the support of local police departments, and local police chiefs call it a “scam.”
The IndyStar reported that the NPA fundraises based on the assumption that donations go directly toward supporting police officers, with letters sent to “vulnerable people” asking for donations to “give our law enforcement officers the crime prevention tools they need.”
According to the IndyStar, these donations do not go to police agencies, and the outlet found that “only 25 percent of the group’s spending went to programming.” The letters the NPA sends paint “a dystopian picture of communities and police departments under attack,” even if the picture is plainly false.
