'Enjoy your straight, white echo chamber'
In April, GAC Family wooed Bure over from Hallmark. She refused to go into details about her departure. "It basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership," she told the Journal.
'Candace Cameron Bure accidentally said the quiet part out loud'
"My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them," Bure, 46, further explained. "I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment."
'Your yearly reminder Candace Cameron is a horrible person'
Back in September, Bure made similar comments about GAC Family's dedication to strictly Christmas movies. "This year, we're absolutely focusing on Christmas," she told Variety. "I'm sure as the channel continues to build content, it will include other holidays, but I think we know the core audience and what they love is exactly how Bill originally built the Hallmark Channel and that was Christmas and those traditional holidays and so that's what the focus is going to be. You got to start somewhere. You can't do everything at once."
'Every family is a family'
Bure's first GAC Family movie is A Christmas... Present, which debuts on Nov. 22. She is also producing movies for the network under the Candace Cameron Bure Presents banner, beginning with Christmas on Candy Cane Lane, starring Bure's Full House co-star Andrea Barber.
'Bye Candace Cameron Bure'
Hilarie Burton Morgan had a blunt response to Bure's comments. "Bigot. I don't remember Jesus liking hypocrites like Candy," she wrote in one tweet. "But sure. Make your money, honey. You ride that prejudice wave all the way to the bank."
'Being lgbtq+ is not a 'trend''
In another message, Burton Morgan said Abbott and Bure were "openly admitting" their bigotry. "I called this s- out years ago when Abbott was at Hallmark. Glad they dumped him. Being LGBTQ isn't a 'trend,'" she wrote. "That guy and his network are disgusting. You too, Candy. There is nothing untraditional about same-sex couples."
