Conservative commentator Candace Owens has sparked yet another controversy, this time leaving U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe seemingly speechless. During a recent episode of her podcast, Owens criticized Rapinoe’s outspoken political stances, particularly her frequent criticisms of the United States.
The tension between the two high-profile figures has been brewing for some time. Rapinoe, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time World Cup champion, is known for her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality, and her outspoken stance against former President Donald Trump. She has often used her platform to criticize what she sees as systemic injustices in the United States, including police brutality and gender inequality. Rapinoe’s decision to kneel during the national anthem as a protest against racial injustice further fueled the debate about patriotism and dissent.
Owens, a staunch conservative, has been a vocal critic of Rapinoe’s activism, accusing her of being ungrateful and disrespectful to the country that provided her with the opportunities to succeed. On her show, Owens took her criticism to a new level, directly addressing Rapinoe’s comments about America.
“If Megan Rapinoe hates America so much, then why doesn’t she just leave?” Owens said during the broadcast. “She’s free to go wherever she wants. There are plenty of countries where she can live, and she can find out how good she has it here.”
The remark, which some have called inflammatory, appears to have caught Rapinoe off guard. Known for her quick wit and sharp responses, Rapinoe has yet to publicly reply to Owens’ challenge, leading many to speculate on why she has remained silent. Owens’ comment has also ignited a broader conversation on social media, with some people supporting her viewpoint while others defend Rapinoe’s right to criticize her own country.
As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen whether Rapinoe will break her silence and respond to Owens’ pointed remarks, or if she will choose to focus on her activism and athletic career, letting her actions speak louder than words.
