Tomi Lahren, Candace Owens and Kathy Griffin are engaging in a weird, yet entertaining Twitter war that involves Kanye West, failed careers and Halloween stunts.
It all started when Tomi posted a Tweet where she acted like she was the only person who didn’t believe Kanye West was genuinely entering the conservative political climate. She’s not, but whatever.
Called it. #Woke https://t.co/wlPvFTA0FS

Are you gonna turn on Kanye now? The ship was doomed to sink from the start but hunger for fame & money was placed over the movement. Funny how he was a “free thinker” before and now he’s a “traitor.” Sounds a lot like a tactic of the Left. You made your bed, now lie in it.

Candace Owens must have thought Lahren was calling her out, because she responded with a jab at her career.
Tomi,
I think I can speak on behalf of people on both sides of the political aisle and say we are sorry about your failed career.
The desperation to be relevant again by constantly subbing me and/or attacking @kathygriffin weekly—doesn’t bode well for any movement.
Grow up. https://t.co/iILhUQhYko

Owens was referring to this photo Lahren posted of her Halloween costume.

Lahren fired back at Owens, saying she wouldn’t be baited into some kind of Twitter war. (Ummm, hello – isn’t that what’s going on??)
Identity politics do NOT work.The fact some in the Conservative movement are trying to weaponize race & gender is truly disappointing. It’s about economic & personal freedom. It’s about national & border security. It’s limited government.Let the Left play the race & gender cards!

I’m talking about Leftist tactics, conservative ideas & failure of identity politics. YOU are talking about ME. If you’re trying to bait me into some Twitter war, it’s not going to work. It’s not about us. You can threaten me or lob low blows about my career but I’m not playing. https://t.co/d8iRSyvmNZ

Owens respond with a juicy threat to release nasty messages from Lahren, and then Kathy Griffin, who wasn’t amused by the Halloween stunt, started jumping in, adding another layer to the back and forth.
I’ve actually “chilled” for a year straight by not releasing nasty messages she sent about me that would have ended her non-career long ago.
Today I’m not in the chilling mood so unless she wants to get burned, she will stop subbing me immediately.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) October 31, 2018
Gosh you are just so original @TomiLahren! I thought images like this one incite violence! At least that’s what you and your colleagues at @FoxNews have told me for the past year and a half. I’m busy on tour right now or I’d dress up as you: a dumb, racist, and talentless hack. https://t.co/GCR8C2vYkA

I’m in heaven. To be in the middle of this drama in 2018 is just delicious. BRB have to update my act! Xoxo https://t.co/MAhURz9zZZ

Her response to Griffin seemed to end the bizarre exchange.
You’re right Kathy, if I was trying to impersonate you I should have worn the clown mask instead. That’s my bad! Happy Halloween! Xoxo https://t.co/LLacLMXzRY
