Massive Astroturf Campaign To SHUT UP Candace Owens
Podcast:The Jimmy Dore Show Published On: Fri Jan 02 2026 Description: In this podcast, Jimmy argues that a coordinated, "astroturfed" media and influencer campaign was launched to discredit Candace Owens and whistleblower Mitch Snow after Snow claimed to witness key TPUSA security and political figures at Camp Huachuca shortly before Charlie Kirk's assassination. He highlights posts from Evan Kilgore and others who reversed their support for Owens while allegedly coordinating messaging, and shows claims that many of these same accounts promote the betting platform PolyMarket. He goes on to review accusations that PolyMarket is financially tied to Trump-world, citing Donald Trump Jr.-linked investments and the DOJ dropping charges against the company, while also noting pushback involving Tim Pool, Ian Miles Cheong, and other right-wing influencers. Jimmy frames the backlash as evidence that powerful interests are panicking over Owens' investigation, asserting that coordinated smears typically indicate someone is "over the target." Plus segments on the additional reporting about shady financial dealings at Turning Point USA and online "bounty" deals that reward influential social media operators for spreading propaganda. Also featuring Ryan Matta and Stef Zamorano!
