"If youre wondering why so many of Charlies friends are cowards- its this. @GrahamAllen had the courage to call her out and then she commented calling him a pervert who isnt safe around kids. Her comment got more than double the likes of his original post due to her huge audience of flying monkeys. People know that she is vicious and that she will make wildly damaging and irresponsible claims with absolutely zero basis. They would rather watch Erika twist in the wind than be on the receiving end of her venom. Graham stop talking about Candace Owens As long as she continues her evil/demonic"
