Conservative pick-me pundit, Candace Owens, gave her unsolicited two cents on superstar gymnast’s decision to drop out of the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Owens retweeted a tweet from The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. The dense executive lambasted gold-medal champion, Simone Biles, for her decision to implement self-care instead of risking her body and spirit to compete in the global competition.
“Simone Biles just said sitting out the big competitions shows how strong you really are,” Dillon wrote. “That’s like saying soldiers who run away from battle are courageous. Cowardice is not courage; weakness is not strength. Great athletes understand this.”
Owens, in essence, agreed with Dillon’s blabbering of cowardice and weakness, writing, “Doing nothing is courage.
Anyone who disagrees is a white supremacist. Welcome to 2021.”

Girl.
Given the fact that Owens doesn’t have a quarter of the talent or skill Billes has in her pinky, she probably should have stayed in her mammying-ass lane. But alas, she didn’t. And users on Twitter gathered her unlaid edges and bad takes.
I’m always so confused by you. I mean, you are articulate – or maybe that’s just fluency because most of what you say is so nonsensical. Simone Biles chose to prioritize her mental health – how are you bothered by that. In 2021?

One Twitter user reminded the conservative woman of her hypocrisy by posting a previous tweet supporting Naomi Osaka.

SB won nationals w/ broken toes in both feet, world’s w/a kidney stone, & has carried the burden of being a face of sexual assault survivors as a Nat’l institution failed 2 support them. Those questioning her “toughness” or “mentality” were whining about wearing a mask months ago

She didn’t sit out the fight to address abuse of young girls by Larry Nasser.
Have you ever shown up for anything that didn’t have a check attached to it?
People are beginning to see through you.

Despite Owens’ raggedy commentary, the 24-year-old star athlete has amassed an astounding 31 medals throughout her illustrious career.
