But, in context, seems likely that his references to Owens were calculated to spark division, and perhaps even violence, between the left and the right.” Robert Evans from Bellingcat added: “It is possible, even likely, that the author was a fan of Owens’s videos she certainly espouses anti-immigrant rhetoric. “A thing they like to do to cause a lot of outrage – ‘Candace Owens supports genocide’ – to force her acknowledge him and to get attention. “It’s a type of trolling,” said Hope Not Hate researcher Patrik Hermansson.

The song is dedicated to the Bosnian Serb wartime leader, Radovan Karadžić, whose verdict on his appeal against conviction for genocide and crimes against humanity is due next Wednesday.
