The conservative US commentator has rejected accusations of \u201cRussian collusion\u201d<\/p>\n
US conservative political commentator Candace Owens has brushed off criticism of her visit to Russia after posting photos from what she described as an \u201cunbelievably beautiful\u201d Moscow.
\nOwens described the trip to her 6 million YouTube subscribers as a \u201cfamily vacation.\u201d Some fellow commentators criticized the visit, with Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro labeling it an act of \u201cideological subversion.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m starting to understand why the talking heads panic and shout and lie about \u2018Russian collusion\u2019 when they learn an American with a platform is traveling here,\u201d Owens wrote on X on Sunday, sharing a photo of herself on Red Square.
\n\u201cIt is genuinely shocking how clean, beautiful and orderly this city is. It is so far removed from media depictions,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Owens also shared photos from a theater and a church.
\n\u201cI\u2019m not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn\u2019t expecting this,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Republicans and Democrats alike, along with numerous media figures, similarly criticized journalist Tucker Carlson for traveling to Moscow twice in 2024 to record interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
\nCarlson said he found Moscow to be \u201cso much nicer\u201d than cities in the United States and argued that American media coverage of Russia and the Ukraine conflict was heavily biased. He dismissed his critics as \u201cprofessional liars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owens initially rose to prominence in the late 2010s by using her platform to urge black voters to stop supporting Democrats. She joined Ben Shapiro\u2019s Daily Wire in 2020, where her self-titled podcast reached millions of viewers, but was fired four years later following a public dispute with Shapiro over Israel\u2019s war in Gaza.
\nOwens later broke with US President Donald Trump over his support for the conflict. Following the launch of her own show on YouTube, the popular podcaster drew criticism for controversial statements, including suggesting that Israel could have been involved in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Last year, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation lawsuit against Owens after she suggested that France\u2019s first lady was born a man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
