Wikipedia Smears Candace Owens over George Floyd Criticism, Trump Support

Conservative black activist Candace Owens has been subject to a prolonged smear campaign on Wikipedia since expressing her support for President Donald Trump. Many of the edits made to her page have selectively quoted or misrepresented Owens to portray her negatively. This included recent comments she made criticizing attempts to minimize the criminal past of George Floyd in the wake of his death in police custody.

An earlier addition to the Wikipedia article on Owens, which referenced an old deleted blog post, has been repeated by media outlets to attack her credibility. Editors have also sought to smear Owens by linking her to the Christchurch shooting last year.
