Previously, Klacik had claimed the court had held a hearing on Owens’ motion to dismiss. Owens denied that.
“Basically, the judge has decided he’s not going to dismiss the case as Candace Owens wanted to,”Klacik stated this on Twitter last year. Her comments were, “I look forward to clearing my name.”
Owens hit back. “To be clear.. Kim and I did not even have a hearing on a motion to dismiss. This simply never took place,”Owens stated in an now-deleted article reviewed by Newsweek. “This level of lying is actually incomprehensible to me.”
Klacik received national attention in 2020 for her House campaign’s viral videos. Klacik (a Republican) was running for the spot left vacant after the death of Elijah Cummings from Maryland, a critic of Trump. Klacik lost by 48 points in special elections to Democrat Rep. Kweisi-Mfume.
