After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle urged Spotify to make changes in the midst of the COVID-19 misinformation controversy involving Joe Rogan, they faced backlash. Candace Owens was one of the right-wingers who slammed the two, both in the United States and in America.
The conservative public figure wrote on Twitter:
“Everyday Harry and Meghan wake up and think ‘how can we make millions more people around the world hate us?’ ” She went on to wrote, ” ‘Oh, I heard Joe Rogan has 50 million unique listeners – let’s write an open letter indicating our inherent self-importance, and demand Spotify begin censoring him.”
“Next up from Harry and Meghan–a one on one sit down with Oprah declaring that Truckers everywhere are racist to their 75% white and extraordinarily wealthy son,” Candace added. Further shading the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, she concluded, “A brief follow up from Harry and Meghan– ‘But we just want our privacy…’.”
The president of conservative foundation Judicial Watch Tom Fitton wrote: “Breaking: Foreign national Prince Harry, and family member of a foreign head of state, wants to censor @JoeRogan and millions of other Americans.”
Noted provocateur and royal critic Piers Morgan shared his unsurprising view on the statement. He replied to royal journalist Omid Scobie’s tweet announcing the statement by saying, “If anyone knows about ‘spreading disinformation, it’s these two disingenuous clowns & their sycophantic media lickspittle.”
U.K.-based journalist Nick Stylianou hinted at bigger issues between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the streaming platform.
He wrote: “This is an interesting angle on the current issue Harry & Meghan have with Spotify, which is that the platform paid them £18 million [$24 million] in December 2020 to deliver original podcasts but published nothing in 12 months and now Spotify is having to take over production to make content.”
