A Democratic House Candidate replied to a tweet of prominent conservative Candace Owens by posting a picture of a Ku Klux Klan mask.
“The #1 violent offenders against black people are other black people. The #1 violent offenders against Asian Americans are also black people. But both #BlackLivesMatter and #AsianLivesMatter are campaigns dedicated to stomping out white supremacy because, clown world,” Candace’s original tweet read.
“Yikes. You may’ve dropped this,” commented Liam O’Mara who is a Democratic candidate for Congress.

“The BLEXIT founder called out O’Mara, and called him a ‘racist’ and a ‘pig’ for sending the picture.”
“How do we feel about Democrats sending photos of Ku Klux Klan hoods to black conservatives as an insult because I’m pretty sure—as my grandfather is still alive and breathing and suffered the REAL klansmen in his youth— that this is RACIST and you are a PIG for sending this,” she wrote, adding, “If you dropped this bullshit at my front door, it would be considered a hate crime. Twitter Safety should have this count FULLY deleted for this type of racist harassment.”
Dave Rubin from Rubin Report also took aim at O’Mara’s comment.
Candace retweeted Rubin’s remark, adding, “And he’s running for Congress! If this account is not removed from TwitterSafety than they are allowing racist harassment and threats against black people. Sending photos of a klansmen hood is a threat—plain and simple. Liam O Mara IV should be forced to resign from his race.”
Candace also said she contacted Twitter about the picture, but the platform responded that O’Mara’s comment has not violated any of their rules.
Then Candace dealt a major blow to the Democrat. She said she notified the police, and that she will be filing a police report against him.
“Might not be a crime on Twitter but guess what?! It’s a crime in the real world. Twitter Safety you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing this to fly,” she added.
O’Mara tried to defend his comment, arguing that Candace’s original comment used ‘explicit white supremacy rhetoric.’
“I tried to point out that your argument used explicit white supremacist rhetoric. I’m sorry that the image offended you, though the point was that it deeply offends me, too, and I don’t like seeing normalized white supremacy in American political discourse,” he wrote.
Candace quickly fired back.
Other Twitter users also pushed back on O’Mara’s claims.
