Call it what you will, but what Candace is doing can certainly be described to be one of the bravest things I have ever seen from famous/influencial people with lots of reach out there. She seems to be almost the embodiment of “refusing to bend, no matter what“.
Yes, you can ascribe lots of background reasons for making it easier to at least appear that way such as a high level of narcissism, recklessness and/or naivety, but the fact remains that the end result very much appears like that: brave.
Interestingly by now, I would guess that in terms of naivety I think she ranks among the lowest among those with lots of reach out there and not part of political circles. I think Ian Carroll and Jimmy Dore also rank similarly low in naivety while having similar public exposure and background.
