Conservative commentator Candace Owens was on a fearmongering roll Monday about how the “radical left” is “gonna come for you” and “move into the suburbs.”
Owens, on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, seemed to buy into the paranoid view of the left that the prime time host laid out months ago. But Owens didn’t quite nail her point.
“You are either on the side of mob rule or you are on the side of law and order. And I am on the side of mob rule,” she told Carlson. “Tomorrow I’ll be casting my ballot for Donald J. Trump.”
Whoops.
Carlson didn’t seem to catch the blunder. “Amen,” he said. “Nicely put.”
Welp.

Looks like Candace Owens flubbed her talking point.
Owens: "You are either on the side of mob rule or you are on the side of law and order. And I am on the side of mob rule. Tomorrow, I'll be casting my ballot for Donald J. Trump."
Tucker: "Amen. Nicely put." pic.twitter.com/9n1TnBtRTZ
People on Twitter roasted Owens for the flub.
"And I am on the side of mob rule."

Are you sure this is a flub? Seems pretty accurate to me.
Isn’t that a Freudian slip?

That quote will live on for decades. See, Fox News is full of entertainment.
