Another question concerns the fallout from the Minnesota shooting and why she believes it’s important to be slow to react to cases such as these. She also takes on a lengthy email about Candace Owens and discusses her views on Candace’s coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and why she believes people with large platforms should vet information before they share it with the public.
