In Piers Morgan's latest episode of his YouTube show Uncensored, he and Candace Owens took aim at each other. Piers Morgan asked her,

"What's your theory, though? You must have an idea."

Candace Owens responded,

"My theory is that we should investigate everything strange that happened on that day so we can figure out what happened. It's literally just called an investigation. Are you suggesting Egypt? Why are we pretending that we don't know why we ask questions? You're a journalist. You know what this is.
"You're like, what's going on? What's going on? Why do you want to know why these planes were tracking Charlie? Well, my theory is that we are being sold absolute fed slop. The media is doing their Operation Mockingbird Part 2 scenario by telling us, well, unless you absolutely have a conclusion, you can't even ask the question. Yes, we very well damn can. But it may be candid. asking consistent questions until we get a clarified explanation for what happened on that day. And right now, we have nothing, okay? And that is the reason why people are watching my show, because I'm the only one not treating them like they're absolute idiots who don't have two eyes, who believe in magic bully theories, and who understand that Egyptian planes should not have been tracking Charlie even three times this year would be an anomaly, okay? They've been tracking him. We don't know where it's going to end, but we are going to keep asking questions until we get clear answers."

Piers Morgan replied,

"Candace, it may be that the person in the media spewing bullshit to the public is you."

Candace Owens said,

"No nice try it's not it's you by saying why are you asking questions don't you worry about mikey's feelings everyone knows what this is and like I said because we have the example the concrete example of after JFK's assassination the media members quite literally being put on the payroll of the cia we have a historical example that we can look at and go.
"We're not doing that again does not matter how many times you keep telling the public that I'm spewing it is only because there has not been anything that has come out of this investigation that makes any sense that the public is not listening to I am sorry to say this pierce people like you and what I love about you and i sitting down is that this exact same time last year you were doing the same weird questioning and making all these things when I said that they were committing a holocaust against the gazans and then you changed your mind I'll see you next year when you change your mind again and we have more information about what happened and you realize that the difference between me and you is that I have the courage to take the risks and ask the questions first, okay, before it's popular. You wait until it becomes popular and then you change your mind."

Chief Nerd shared the viral clip via its official X (formerly Twitter) page, captioning,

"PIERS: "It may be that the person in the media spewing bullsh*t to the public is you." CANDACE: "The difference between me and you is that I have the courage to take the risks and ask the questions … You wait until it becomes popular, and then you change your mind.""

Netizens reacted, saying,

"Exactly right. Piers is an absolute coward. If not outright controlled opposition."

Internet reactions to Piers Morgan and Candace Owens trading sharp words over the "courage" of "asking questions"

Netizens were notably quick to jump into the comment section of the X (formerly Twitter) post as they shared their remarks on Piers Morgan and Candace Owens' statements. Below are some of their reactions:

"A new suspect named. Candace Owens is now alleging that Lance Twiggs, the roommate of the accused shooter, was the person seen in the TMZ footage walking toward the university, not Tyler Robinson. She claims Robinson was merely a "patsy" given busy work near a Dairy Queen.", stated an X user.
"Candace Owens is dumb but this was a brutal takedown 🤣", declared another.
"Candace Owens eviscerated the establishment's favorite weather vane. Piers Morgan embodies the pathetic cowardice of legacy media, clinging to safe lies until the truth becomes unavoidable. He follows the herd while pretending to lead. Candace wields the courage he surrendered years ago. Watching a gatekeeper realize he has lost his gate is pure satisfaction. He is obsolete. The era of comfortable lies is over. Piers is simply too weak to survive the new reality where courage is the only currency.", penned a third.

Others also chimed in:

"This is ego versus ego, not truth versus lies. One calls it courage, the other calls it noise. Real integrity is asking hard questions and standing by facts even when they stay unpopular, not trading soundbites for applause.", commented a netizen.
"So, Candace Owens reached #1 podcast status "just asking questions" without actually knowing anything... 3 months of "investigating" and she hasn't even visited the crime scene to see that it didn't take a Spiderman to get onto the roof... She is not "courageous". She is just a clout-chaser, as always, who thinks being first to the table to rant about sandwiches means she gets to pretend she brought the sandwiches. I mean, you don't get to spend months floating and emoting world-implicating theories, admit you "don't know" what you're actually even getting at, and then argue that there's no chance you've been the one spewing BS the whole time.", added another.
"Candace Owens bi**h slapped his a** 😂😂 He has forgotten how to do journalism, and she is right. We can all see through the BS and inauthenticity.", commented a third.

Amid this buzz, it is worth noting that no new evidence emerged from the interview.
