 if the earth is flat then what about night and day? I don't know let me think about it maybe because the earth is double sided and god flips us over when it's time for us to go to bed. She did a parody and she said oh we can flip the earth upside down and have day and night. I would never have thought to say something so dumb. So the week has been absolutely draining so I thought that it'd be nice to kick off friday with a more lighthearted story and no we're not going to talk about pat robertson dying although crab dance but today we're actually going to be talking about my new favorite republican lul cow of course kandace taylor of georgia who recently came out as a flat earth earth saying this in an episode of her podcast jesus guns and babies with flat earth more and more i'm like it doesn't make sense so is it or not i don't know 100 but it's just it doesn't make sense the other way i can't unsee this all the globes everywhere i turn on tv there's globes in the background there's globes on there right here like this would be a globe if i was a normal person like everywhere there's globes you see them all the time i mean it's constant my children are about mama go go go go they're everywhere and that's what they do the to brainwash and so for me if it is not a conspiracy if it is you know real why are you pushing so hard yeah now we did a deep dive on her last week and that of course is not the only conspiracy theory she believes in shocking i know and i even made a music video about her that absolutely nobody asked for so i'll link to that as well as my deep dive on her down below but one thing that really set kandace taylor off following the virality of that video of her was comedian blaire urskine making a parody of her and in case you missed it this was blaire's response to kandace taylor's questions about the shape of our globe you know i'm not a scientist because that is a made up job but i know that the earth is flat okay because if the earth was round why would maps be flat they can never answer that okay and people would be like well oh if the earth is is flat then what about night and day hmm i don't know let me think about it maybe because the earth is double sided and god flips us over when it's time for us to go to bed and flips us back over when it's time for us to wake up like i do with my husband like use your brain use your head for a minute if the earth was round like a globe everything would be falling off of it all the oceans will be dripping down it like ice cream okay unless the earth is a dq blizzard where nothing falls out but even then sometimes things do fall out and they do have to give you your money back so that doesn't really make sense to me they're trying so hard to make us think the earth is a globe i see globes on tv globes at my children's school i saw a globe at hobby lobby a place of worship hobby lobby there is a globe there i mean if i were a normal person there would be a globe behind me but i have a rotary telephone that's not hooked up to anything so bill gates can't track me okay because i'm using my head that was incredible but kandace taylor did not take kindly to it and she denounced blare by name in a 12 minute video that she posted to twitter and she clarified that she's actually not a flat earther contrary to popular belief but she admits that she still does have some issues with globe globe propaganda here's what she said i am a christian i love jesus i am a woman i'm created perfect in the image of god and i know who i am i'm firming that i've never said the earth was flat i've never said that i was a flat earther never ever ever have i said that i did not say that globes were fake i never said that what i said was that nasa taking billions of dollars every month of our taxpayer money and funding something that we do not see any progression in if the earth is a globe which we've always believed the earth is a globe and we believe that why do we see globes on all the tv shows on all the movies and all the stores why are there globes everywhere why because it's propaganda it's propaganda for us to be okay with nasa spending billions of dollars of our taxpayer money to fund whatever they want to fund that does not mean that i'm crazy that does not mean that i'm an ethical that does not mean that anything that a radical liberal psychotic girl in atlanta who did a parody on me said because she did a parody and she said oh we can flip the earth upside down and have day and night i would never have thought to say something so dumb that is completely idiotic she said that her not me and people that say oh this is you know look at my lips she had a red lipstick but she does not have a full front top lip and i told her that the red was a nice touch but you don't have a lips for it she looks nothing like me praise the lord and she writes skits for saturday night life she has a fake southern accent she's an atlantic and she doesn't sound like me from south georgia and she's trying to but it's not me people it's her it's blair her name's blair i don't even know her last name damn shots fired now i've got to say she seemed obviously peeved that people are accusing her of being a flat earth her but i mean kandace you literally did a podcast with the guy named flat earth dave and you called globes a conspiracy during that interview so so you don't have much plausible deniability here although to be fair to her she did address this in her 12 minute video and what she said surprised me again for me to interview someone that doesn't believe exactly how i believe or exactly what i've always been taught it's not an anomaly it's normal for me it's normal for me to interview people and learn from them in fact i'm interviewing a transgender next week that doesn't mean i'm a trans okay that's fair although i've got to say i fear for the trans person who she will be interviewing because that is uh gonna be a very uncomfortable interview but um she didn't just listen to a different perspective in her interview with flat earth dave to be fair she engaged in the conspiracy that's the thing right like if she were talking to a transgender person and she explained how she herself had issues with her own gender identity then it would be i think reasonable to deduce that perhaps she's transgender or non-binary but because you engaged in the conspiracies with flat earth dave and you didn't push back against what he said i don't think it's unreasonable to say that you are a flat earther right now blare responded to kandace's remarks on twitter saying just learned a lot about myself don't have a full front top lip not from south georgia apparently work at snl thank you for clearing that up kandace taylor and don't let big globe get you down she added changing my bio to radical liberal psychotic girl this is the most hilarious beef ever now in her response video kandace basically primarily addresses the liberals who were making fun of her but unfortunately for her republicans in georgia are the ones who are really going to weaponize this against her and they are pointing to her comments about the earth being flat or possibly flat if we're trying to be charitable to her to remove her from power basically because remember she is the leader of the local republican party in her area so the atlanta journal constitution details how intraparty warfare is plaguing georgia's republican party and there's basically two factions there is the brian kemp slash mike pence wing which is i guess the more to even say it moderate is a bit of a stretch right but the less conspiratorial wing and then you have the trump slash carry lake slash kandace taylor wing the wing that is basically cuckoo for cocoa puffs and kandace taylor is a part of this wing but they kandace's wing they're going to be pushing for a rule at the upcoming g.o.p convention to literally disqualify republican candidates who they deem as traitors so they're as extreme as it gets and now because she decided to conspiracy monger about the flat earth well they're going to try to use that to undermine what her and her cronies are trying to do now here's what one of the officials on the kemp slash pence side said about these extremists without mentioning her by name but here's what they said quote we've got a woman who is accusing democrats of being globalists but she doesn't even believe in globes said ed henderson an officer with the raboon county g.o.p who is distraught at his party's direction quote we're going to have to reclaim the party you have a complete divorce between what 1500 activists want and common sense said henderson who is also a member of the state g.o.p committee we're a party now of performance artists and extremism cells yeah it's almost like pandering to extremists for decades would one day come back to bite you in the ass now kandace here is one of the ring leaders promising big things for state republicans and um we'll see how it goes they're gonna try to use her being a flat earth or against her in part right there's other issues with kandace taylor but that's one of the things that i'm assuming they're gonna bring up um but i mean this tells us that at least there is some limit to what the republican party will tolerate they'll accept conspiracy theories but they draw the line at flat earth which i guess is good but um she addressed this in her 12 minute long video and she's claiming that she have has majority support so i'll link you to her full response if you want to hear what she has to say because it gives us some additional insight into the g.o.p civil war in georgia and i just love how you've got the trad cons going up against um the cuckoo conservatives and you have a flat earth or as one of the leaders or excuse me somebody who's just asking questions about the shape of the globe but let's get back to blare because kandace was not done dragging her because the daily beast wrote an article about blare's parody and reached out to kandace for comment and here's what she said this was really mean quote when the daily beast reached out to taylor for comment she offered this response via text blare iriskein is a failed comedian and completely out of touch with the heartland of america the truth is the media has lied about everything from safe and effective vaccines secure elections to men now being able to babies everybody loves a good conspiracy theory but we can't smother and demonize people for their curiosity in the pursuit of political correctness now here's my favorite part asked if she believes the earth is flat taylor evaded the question by replying i'd love to visit space and see it for myself one day because that's totally not something that a flat earth or would say look kandace most people would just give a direct answer no the earth is not flat but she's like um i just like to see it for myself one day kandace you're not helping you're not helping and as she sprinkled in these conspiracy theories more conspiracy theories as she is attacking blare here she brought up transphobia referring to the fact that trans men have babies i mean that trans person coming on her podcast next week oh my god i really fear for you it's gonna be a mentally draining conversation unless she's talking to blare white then it's gonna be there's gonna be a lot of common ground uh either way that's the update to the story i will keep you posted and uh hopefully kandace as much as we uh have come to love her loses her position of power because somebody who is that extreme that conspiratorial should not be anywhere near power and i get that the bar is very low for the republican party but even by their standards she's a little bit too cuckoo for cocoa puffs if you know what i mean so um i guess i'm kind of rooting for the kemp slash pence side although if they all can like cancel out each other somehow take each other down that'd be the best outcome so i just say let them fight but i hope that kandace keeps dishing out the bangers because if you thought that marjorie taylor green was the biggest little cow in the gop you know kandace here said hold my bud light
