'This is GOLD': NYT asks Candace Owens where she gets her ideas about Ukraine — and immediately regrets it

Daily Wire host Candace Owens tweeted Monday that the New York Times sent her a message asking where she got her ideas that “Ukraine was a corrupt country,” adding that such ideas are similar to those “seen from Russian state media.” Owen’s response was gloriously embarrassing — for the New York Times.

Received an email from The NYTimes asking for comment regarding me u201cadvancing ideas that Ukraine is a corrupt countryu201du2014similar to Russian state TV. nnI replied informing them that I actually got my ideas from the New York Times, and provided them links to their past articles. pic.twitter.com/Zy6a7Btih4

Thisu2026 Ukraine and other ex Soviet countries, including Russia, have some of the worst rankings on that index. Itu2019s well deserved. I donu2019t know why itu2019s suddenly controversial to state that corruption is a problem in Ukraine. It doesnu2019t mean they deserve to be invaded.

Candace has been under fire recently for her outspoken criticism of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and for calling out corruption in Ukraine.
