Democratic ruling hasn't done much for the black communities, and she calls this out.

The right wing offers a **** ton more money than the left. Right wing media is a quick way to get rich because as long as you sing from the hymn sheet, you'll have a place and a rabid fanbase ready to be told what you want to hear.

Nigel Farage has tried multiple times to get in on it, Katie Hopkins came close (and still makes bank here), a lot of right wing youtubers do it because it's an easy way to make money.

The left wing doesn't have the same amount of vast wealth powering it's media, it doesn't have the same resources to shower on mouth pieces. Being a right wing commentator in the US is a quick way to get rich, to make out the opposite is just plain false.

As for Candace's arguments, you can blame an economy that only truly benefits the ultra rich for all that, the same people who pay Candace a fortune to slate the other side while ignoring that it's the system itself that the right wing seeks to uphold that limits the potential of the poor and minorities.
