Now, it\u2019s doing the rounds again, and Candace Owens wants to debate Logan. The viral clip started picking up steam once again in July 2021 for all the wrong reasons, drawing some negative attention to Paul, and Owens in particular took a dislike to it. On July 23, Owens tweeted the video and publicly called Paul out on it, saying that she would \u201clike to publicly challenge him to go a few rounds with me in a political debate.\u201d The challenge was clearly spelt out: \u201cHow about you stop by my show and explain to me how you\u2019re *checks notes* more privileged than me\u2026?\u201d Logan loves to challenge people in the boxing ring. I\u2019d like to publicly challenge him to go a few rounds with me in a political debate.@LoganPaul\u2014how about you stop by my show and explain to me how you\u2019re *checks notes* more privileged than me because you\u2019re white and I\u2019m not? https:\/\/t.co\/qhTK3nPWQe\u2014 Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) July 23, 2021 Logan didn\u2019t respond initially and most believed he would simply ignore the offer handed to him from Owens, but he instead waited to discuss it on his Impaulsive podcast, where the original clip came from. Logan explained that he realized he was trending on Twitter, much to his confusion, and upon checking the trend he found that the old clip had gone viral once again, adding that he was confused by the situation, especially with Candace Owens reaching out. \u201cI\u2019m perplexed, to say the least,\u201d he explained. \u201cI actually ended up speaking with her, and there may be a future where we sit down and have a civil discourse because I think there\u2019s some meat on this bone.\u201d Timestamp 1:00:27 Logan went on to say that she\u2019s an expert when it comes to debating, but he feels that he\u2019s able to educate himself and because he cares about the topic, he has a \u201csemi-intelligent brain\u201d and thinks he could hold his own. Owens is a feisty debater and she definitely wouldn\u2019t make things easy for Logan, who might not realize just what he\u2019s getting himself in for. That said, he\u2019s taken on Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring and went the distance, so what\u2019s he really got to be scared of?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul responds to Candace Owens debate challenge over viral \u201canti-racist\u201d video YouTube: Impaulsive, Instagram: realcandaceowensIn 2020, a clip of Logan Paul went viral, with the YouTube star urging viewers to be more aware of their treatment of minorities, saying that not being racist isn\u2019t enough, and we must be anti-racist.
