Author and commentator mocks recent column on Tucker Carlson Tonight
Author and commentator Candace Owens knocked The New York Times during an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight Monday after the paper published a report implying that misinformation and conspiracy theories are to blame for the growing support for the Republican Party among Hispanic men.
The article, headlined A Vexing Question for Democrats: What Drives Latino Men to Republicans? argues that Hispanic men have been increasingly embracing the GOP due to misinformation, including conspiracy theories claiming that the deep state took over during the Trump administration, and a belief that Black Lives Matter protests caused widespread violence.

Candace Owens blamed the “bigotry” of The New York Times as “the reason Hispanics are fleeing the Democratic Party” in a Monday appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Owens joined host Tucker Carlson in criticizing a story published by The New York Times that claimed some Hispanic men are being driven to the Republican Party because of “right wing misinformation,” including “conspiracy theories” about Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the “Deep State.”
“Last week The New York Times posted a story entitled ‘A Vexing Question for Democrats: What Drives Latino Men to Republicans? ” Carlson began. “The New York Times is so dishonest at this point, such an out in the open political operation, that the paper literally blamed right-wing misinformation for the shift.”

While Democrats won the vast majority of Hispanic voters in the 2020 presidential race, the results also showed Republicans making inroads with this demographic, the largest nonwhite voting group and particularly among Latino men. According to exit polls, 36 percent of Latino men voted for Donald J. Trump in 2020, up from 32 percent in 2016. These voters also helped Republicans win several House seats in racially diverse districts that Democrats thought were winnable, particularly in Texas and Florida. Both parties see winning more Hispanic votes as critical in future elections.
Yet a question still lingers from the most recent one, especially for Democrats who have long believed they had a major edge: What is driving the political views of Latino men?
