Author and commentator mocks recent column on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' Author and commentator Candace Owens knocked The New York Times during an appearance on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday after the paper published a report implying that "misinformation" and "conspiracy theories" are to blame for the growing support for the Republican Party among Hispanic men. The article, headlined "A Vexing Question for Democrats: What Drives Latino Men to Republicans?" argues that Hispanic men have been increasingly embracing the GOP due to "misinformation, including conspiracy theories claiming that the 'deep state' took over during the Trump administration, and a belief that Black Lives Matter protests caused widespread violence."
