If you are a 20 year old adult who feels "actively victimized" by my standing on stage to speak about social and economic conservatism, it is because your parents failed you, entirely.
It is not my job to coddle adults."At the time of writing this article, the video clip had been viewed 3 million times by users of the social media platform.Comments from her supporters praised the TV personality with messages such as: "You are brave, Candace!" and "Well said, Candace!"Another viewer said: "Hoping to see you more often on here, in the future, we need that kind of straight talk"I am over 8 months pregnant with two toddlers at home.
