Candace Owens is asking that conservatives go easy on Trump because he is ‘too old’ to do ‘independent research’ on vaccines following an interview where he encouraged vaccinations and said he’d gotten a COVID booster.

The conservative pundit reached out to her followers in an Instagram video posted after her Wednesday interview with former president Donald Trump and told them that Trump, 75, only praised vaccines because he is not savvy enough to do better research.

‘People oftentimes forget that, like, how old Trump is,’ she said. ‘He comes from a generation — I’ve seen a lot of people who are older, have the exact same perspective, like, they came from a time before TV, before internet, before being able to conduct independent research. And everything they read to them that was in a newspaper that was pitched to them, they believed that that was a reality.’
