Candace Owens, the Communications Director for Turning Point USA, issued a challenge to Avengers 4 star and Captain America actor Chris Evans after he expressed “racist sentiments.”
By the way, @ChrisEvans— since you seem to suggest that black people who don’t agree with you are “stupid”, I openly challenge you to a debate. @Politicon is in a couple of weeks.
Why don’t you put your racist sentiments on full display and debate a black conservative? https://t.co/hcZxXdEH8d— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) October 1, 2018
After Kanye West appeared on Saturday Night Live wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, the superstar musician would follow it up by stating the hat and slogan “represents good and America becoming whole again.” He would go on to praise President Trump’s recent trade agreements with Mexico and Canada before making a call for prison reform by ending Constitutionally approved slavery as a punishment for those who are convicted of a crime.
Evans would insult Kanye by calling him someone “who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue.” He would then go on to call Kanye’s opinions as “retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying.”
There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying. https://t.co/4jCFwB4T5U

While Evans decided to attack Kanye West, he praised Matt Damon’s appearance on Saturday Night Live. The actor played a spoof of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Matt Damon just crushed it on SNL. That was hilarious.

Owens doubled down on the offer while once again calling out Evans saying that he “just basically called Kanye a ‘dumb n*****’ and he shouldn’t get away with it!” She would even describe Evans as “Captain Out of Touch With America.”

She would then go a step further stating, “I take great issue with liberals insinuating that blacks that don’t agree with them are no-history-knowing, no-book-reading, dummies.”
I take great issue with liberals insinuating that blacks that don’t agree with them are no-history-knowing, no-book-reading, dummies. @ChrisEvans the offer still stands: Debate me, and see how much more educated black conservatives are than you. https://t.co/uGWYtNna3J

Evans has not answered Owens’ challenge for a debate, and it doesn’t appear like he will.
Do you think Chris Evans’ statement on Kanye West was racist? Do you agree with Candace Owens? Could it affect ticket sales for Avengers 4? Should Evans debate Candance Owens?
