What We Know:
- His main argument during this exchange was “When was America actually great, what is Trump trying to emulate?” This led to a conversation about slavery where Candace stated that every nation in the world committed slavery.
- Candace clarified that she was referring to the Regan administration when she talked about the president’s hope to bring us back to the past.

- Candance asked T.I. and the crowd why they would not even let her finish a sentence. She later tweeted how there were no losers in this conversation because we all won by “making a moment for Black America.”
I see clips circulating, indicating that I crushed @Tip or that @Tip crushed me.
The truth is— yesterday was a moment for Black America. We ALL won. Thank you @Diddy for hosting such a wonderful event. I respect and love ALL of the panelists, despite our political differences. pic.twitter.com/woQl9nsYsq— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 15, 2019
