I like Candace, and have a great deal of respect for her because she does her research and sticks to her guns. But she also sometimes goes off on tangents and says things that raise my eyebrows. She recently was all enthused because she'd discovered that Scientology hates psychiatric meds and won't let their adherents use them.
Even a broken clock can be right twice a day, and this is one of the things that Scientologists figured out; that the meds are awful and counterproductive. But some of their former members who've had mental crises really hate them for it--and for the alternatives that were forced on them instead (Scientology is a cult; stuff like that happens in cults). They didn't get the treatment they needed while in the cult, and after they left, they started taking the drugs and they're able to function again.
They may be stabilized for the moment, but--they aren't cured. Psychiatric meds can't cure any mental illness. Sooner or later they all stop working and leave patients worse off than before, but--these poor confused souls apparently haven't figured that out yet.
Anyway, hopefully Candace figures out how very abusive the cult of Scientology really is (and how they traffick children) before she says too much more about them.
Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Tucker Carlson follow an open thought process which means it is unrefined, and not necessarily meant to reach a conclusion. Instead of Scientology, Owens would have been better off reading The Myth of Mental Illness by Thomas Szasz. He makes his points clear.

Well maybe someone will recommend it to her. ;-)
