Rising conservative star Candace Owens is calling out the Democrat’s new darling, socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for ignoring her requests for a debate.
And Owens is putting her money where her mouth is.
The Democratic socialist recently turned down an opportunity to debate The Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, and claimed his offer to donate $10,000 to a charity of her choice in exchange was sexist and “catcalling.”
So what happens when a woman makes the same offer?
Total silence from Ocasio-Cortez.
On Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk announced that he had a group of donors willing to donate $100,000 to charity in exchange for a debate between Ocasio-Cortez and Owens… but the socialist congressional candidate won’t answer the call-out. Kirk tweeted,”I’ll up the ante inspired by @benshapiro offer – I have a group of donors that will contribute $100,000 to the charity of your choice to debate @RealCandaceO. ANY CHARITY.”
He added, “Why are you scared to discuss your ideas @Ocasio2018 ?”

Owens shared Kirk’s tweet and added her own response saying,”Just reminding everyone that @Ocasio2018 is turning down $100,000 to a charity of her choosing— because she doesn’t want to debate her socialist platform with me.”
“Weird. I thought socialists LOVE taking money they don’t earn,” she added.

As of Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez still had not responded to their offer.
During an appearance on Fox & Friends, Owens claimed that Ocasio-Cortez is scared of her calls for a debate because she has no clue how to debate her own platform.
“It’s unfortunate, but I’m not surprised whatsoever,” Owens said, explaining that Ocasio-Cortez campaigns on”utopian concepts” that have no basis in reality.
On July 24, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to claim that “Republicans are so scared” of her. When they respond, she calls them sexist and refuses to debate their ideas?
This socialist darling is on the big stage now.
No wonder she’s hiding.
