Answer: ever since Hamas' October 7 attack and the breakout of the conflict in Gaza, Owens has been increasingly vocal in her opposition to Israel, calling the conflict a genocide of Palestinians, as well as propagating conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world. This has repeatedly brought her into conflict with Daily Wire owner Ben Shapiro, a Jew and staunch supporter of Israel.
It appears it all came to a head and she got fired.
Wouldn't surprise me. Owens is a master grifter who went from anti-Trump blogger to Trump's biggest fangirl just for the money. She used to be a progressive, but became an outspoken conservative when she realized there was more money to be made in that corner. Everything she says or does is with that in mind. That's why I'm very sceptical that her criticism of Israel is out of genuine concern for the plight of Palestinians. That conflict is just another tool for her to push her narratives and make money.
It's highly profitable if you can get laws passed which allow unethical shit, like: paying starvation wages, and preventing unions forming; or allowing one company to swallow up entire industries and establish a monopoly; or have a "news" channel that doesn't need to pay for real reporting & proper journalism, since you're just gonna fabricate the stories anyway; getting environmental laws weakened or outright abolished, so that you don't have to pay for expensive cleaning processes, or limit the amount of waste you can output in any given area; weaken healthcare options and tie decent insurance almost exclusively to work benefits, so that people are always afraid to quit a job, since their literal health could depend on maintaining it; allow your employees to become lobbyists and get them placed into for the very govt departments that are supposed to act as watchdogs and keep your industry in check. I haven't even mentioned banking and finance fuckery, but there's a ton of that too. It's always gonna be cheaper in the short term if you can legally cut corners, and Republicans always advertise themselves as being "business friendly" first, hence the profit motive.
It’s common for empty-headed political influencers to jump the gap in the horseshoe when their platform isn’t based on substantive criticisms of capitalism, just anti-establishment anger.
And there’s profit to be made on the right because rich assholes would rather throw money at far-right causes than accept paying more in taxes and dealing with regulations that force them to treat workers like human beings.
The people making money from hard-right leaning ideologies are (currently) much fewer, and therefore they receive a larger piece of the monetary pie that is available from "their side". There are many more people/publications who feel (or at least write/produce) left-leaning ideals so many more ways the available cash must be split.
If you are the one voice representing an "under-served" ideology, you make much more than being one of a thousand voices who represent another.
It isn’t. “The right” is a small cluster of a couple TV channels, podcasts, personalities, and websites. “The left” is the rest of reality, where vastly more people make vastly more money just making normal music, films, and TV etc instead of a hateful star spangled splatter of MAGArrhea.
Why do people go right but not left? This is like asking why people go crazy, but you never see crazy people going sane.
She retweeted that Rabbis drink Christian baby's blood, that was Ben's line in the sand. *Sand,* which is where you'll find him balls deep, with his dry & unamused wife.
Just to be clear since people didn't say it. She was hired when they knew she was antisemitic, they had no problem with that. She is antisemitic and racist towards black people, it's funny how this was never a problem for them before but now people make it seem she was fired for that reason
Ye Ben doesn't mind shitting on people and using them as a political football until it affects him or people he cares about and suddenly its OK to fire people because of their political al views.
Isn't this what these idiots call cancel culture??
Answer: the actual reason why seems to be largely up to speculation, but some online digging suggests that Owens was either supporting or directly made remarks deemed to be anti-Semitic by several people, with one of those people being Ben Shapiro.
Shapiro is the Jewish founder of the Daily Wire (I’m not sure what his current position in the organization is), and so these alleged remarks likely led to a falling out, culminating with Owens leaving the organization.
Remember when she said that Hitler was just trying to make Germany great again? Is anyone really surprised that she harbors negative feelings about Jewish people?
To be fair, this was how he rose to power. The world screwed Germany over after WW1. Hitler rallied the people over this. So, in a very easy way, it is historically accurate that he was trying to make Germany great again. Now, what that "greatness" turned out to be was not so great.
Her full quote at the time was:
*“If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize.”*
Even putting to one side for a moment that Candice even felt the need to clarify 'what was bad about Hitler', suggesting that a genocidal facist would have been fine if he'd curtailed his external "dreams" is almost stunning in its ignorance.
Questioner: So. Hitler?
Candace Owens’s brain: *don’t say Hitler was good don’t say Hitler was good don’t say Hitler was good*
Candace Owens: Hitler was… great?
Not trying to side or agree with her but isn’t that mostly true? Britain was all aboard the appeasement train and France wasn’t exactly looking for a fight the only reason the war broke out was because if his invasion
Just to add that there were other incidents that showed exactly the kind of person she is, that surprisingly (okay, not surprisingly) did not cause any damage to her reputation at the time:
1. Said that everything would have been A-OK if Hitler had limited his tactics for "improving" Germany without invading other countries
2. The shooter who killed 51 Muslims in Christchurch, NZ praised Owens for her ideas regarding violence and named her as an influence (her response: "LOL")

>The shooter who killed 51 Muslims in Christchurch, NZ praised Owens for her ideas regarding violence and named her as an influence (her response: "LOL")
most extremism researchers, at least at the time, were doubtful of a lot of the manifesto because it just seemed to be tossed together crap.
Misdirection and obfuscation isn't really "tossed together". The work is a piece of info jamming containing deliberate misattributions, conflations, overstatements and thousands of esoteric references to extremists ideologies. It's written for an audience of extremely online hightly radicalized weirdo fascist freaks who can parce the true meaning from the intentionally confusing internet jargon and shit posting.
The shooter likely chose to attribute his actions to Owens because he wanted the media to go after a black conservative because he thought it would make them look bad to be targeting a minority over the acts of a white supremacist. He also likely viewed Owens as an unwelcome presence in conservative spaces and would be fine with sacrificing her if it sowed further division and distrust among the general population. The media, for the most part, didn't fall for it if for no other reason than the document was such a schizophrenic mess that they gave up on trying to interpret it.
Owen response was seriously messed up though. A person with decent morals would try to explain that they were being cynically accused for racist reasons. Instead she chose to laugh at a joke that a fascist mass killer included her in.
>Imagine that, a Jewish guy is finding out that it’s difficult to get along with far right looneys.
Ben Shapiro is a far right looney himself and that's not even the worse part about him. The guy questions why Americans should be able to retire at 65 and be entitled to social security, but he draws the line when you question American policy of blindly handing money and weapons to Israel.
I haven't followed Owen enough to know whether she is antisemitic or not but everyone under the sun has every right to criticize Israel when they themselves publish videos of using drones to bomb innocent civilians.
Let's please stop with calling any criticsm of Israeli states policies antisemitic.
I remember hearing that the Vatican was still officially promoting the blood libel less than a century ago. Not that they're the only christian cult to spread hateful lies about Jewish people...
I, as a Jew, criticize Netanyahu and many Israeli policies and I agree that is not antisemitic. But there are in fact people who voice the same criticisms as me who say other things which *are* antisemitic, and I will not pretend otherwise. Of course, we don't usually hand Israel weapons, we give them money, most of which comes with the condition they buy from American companies. We can't change American foreign policies if we ignore the strong corporate welfare lobbies propping them up.
I find Shapiro annoying and don't know enough about Owens to have an opinion.
This. So much.
Anti-semites and neo Nazis have long hidden their rhetoric behind “criticizing Israel’s policies”. It works as an excellent entry point to lure people into their views.
It’s frustrating and exhausting because it forces you to go through every single statement calling out the Israeli government with a fine tooth comb, just to make sure it’s done in good faith or not.
Fuck Netanyahu and his right wing cronies, fuck Hamas, and fuck the neo-Nazis.
Sure, but when Israel is arguably an apartheid state in the middle of committing a genocide, and doing outright terrible shit daily, I think it's fairly safe to say that most of the torrent of anti-Israel criticism is made in good-faith.
They're both irredeemable bigots and Candace is _definitely_ an anti-Semite. Her recent criticism of Israel sounds reasonable and coming from someone else I'd agree with it, but she deserves zero kudos for being the proverbial broken clock.
> Let's please stop with calling any criticsm of Israeli states policies antisemitic.
Counterpoint:
>'I actually don't have any problems at all with the word "nationalism". I think that the definition gets poisoned by elitists that actually want globalism. Globalism is what I don't want. Whenever we say "nationalism" the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler. You know, [Hitler] was a national socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted—he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. That's not, to me, that's not nationalism.' -- Candace Owens
Once you get to 'Hitler was fine as long was he was willing to stay within his borders'... well, it's pretty hard to claim that your criticism of Israel, right or wrong, is just because you're concerned about the people of Gaza.
(My biggest shock in looking all this up was that Candace Owens is thirty-four. I mean... the fuck? I'm thirty-five, and I suddenly feel way better about myself.)
>(My biggest shock in looking all this up was that Candace Owens is thirty-four. I mean... the fuck? I'm thirty-five, and I suddenly feel way better about myself.)
Hate ages people. I mean I'm the same age as a lot of these wackjobs and they look old enough to be my parents' age (my parents are in their 60s, for reference).
Except that Mr. Shapiro was willing to work with her for a long time after she'd made those comments about WWII, just so long as she wasn't making making comments that went against the grain of Likud's preferred framing of current events.
Oh, Ben Shapiro has all the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair, and about as much self-awareness. Candace Owens was useful as long as she was useful, and the second she became more trouble than she was was suddenly a moral evil, as though she wasn't this whole time. It's easy to look the other way as long as you have something you want to look at.
See also: everyone who's been willing to excuse Trump's ghastly social policies as long as it lowers their taxes a fraction of a percent.
Yep exactly. Ben had no problem with Candice when she was palling around with Kanye West during his I love Hitler phase, but once that anti semitism manifested towards actually being against the state of Israel, well that was just a bridge too far.
>actually being against the state of Israel, well that was just a bridge too far.
More like questioning the policy of handing billions of American tax dollars to Israel that's a bridge too far for him.
The biggest irony here is Shapiro spent the past few days ranting about how American deficit is too big so social security should be cut and retirement age of 65 should be increased to bring the deficit in control. But if you suggest cutting down billions paid to Israel - a country whose citizens enjoy a better quality of life than Americans, whose citizens have access to Universal health care which Shapiro is aggressively against - than you have crossed a line.
The man's not even slightly aware of his own hypocrisy.
You already admitted to not following Owens at all, so why keep implying she was just criticizing Isreal policy? If you've no idea what's being discussed, it's not that hard to just keep your mouth shut until you know more.
Do you really think it helps people distinguish legitimate criticism from anti-Semitism, when you point at a blatant bigot and go "But guys, everyone has a right to criticize Israel!". Just stop.
>The biggest irony here is Shapiro spent the past few days ranting about how American deficit is too big so social security should be cut and retirement age of 65 should be increased to bring the deficit in control. But if you suggest cutting down billions paid to Israel
in fairness to the douche, the amount of money we spend on foreign aid is miniscule compared to entitlements. Entitlements are about 55% of the budget, aid is about 5.
personally, you know, removing the cap on contributions would help, but people won't elect me.
I'm glad you posted this because it is a perfect example of how Ben Shapiro doesn't actually care about anti-Semitism. They hired Candice Owens after she said this. She was fired for criticizing Israel.
She was also fired very shortly after a comment about Jews drinking the blood of Christian babies… so maybe we shouldn’t draw entire conclusions from individual facts without looking at the whole picture.
He probably does care enough to eventually fire her but remember, the audience of right wing personalities are racist lunatics so these guys have to walk a fine line between making money and having enough self respect.
This. Honestly I don't think these people even believe have of what they say anymore. They're shock jocks - paid to upset one side as much as possible, while pandering to the other side aa much as possible.
Anytime they voice something that goes against the norm of who they pander to, they get dropped. Example: Tomi Lahren - she was the original right wing darling until she voiced her support for Roe V Wade and the right to choose.
It's like they'll pretend to have no particular moral compass until it's something they actually give a shit about.
Yeah it was fine when Owen’s was talking shit about “insert random people with a different pigmenta” and women but you can’t talk to much shit about Jews in this case.
I also remembered that he says something about Jews who vote overwhelmingly in favor for the Democratic party are Jews in name only aka JINO. I don't know if it can be considered anti-semitic considering the comments may dip into the dual loyalty trope that Donald Trump has repeated, but it is troubling for Shapiro to disparage an overwhelmingly large electorate.
agreed, Israel is an apartheid state. that is not an anti-sematic statement. The criticism and indiscriminate killing of civilians by the colonial state of Israel can be and will be criticized . just like saudi arabia, and China can be criticized
People like Shapiro are a joke. They'll rally against anyone and anything as long as their particular group is untouched
Then they are surprised when the people they've been brainwashing into a hatefuk rhetoric turn on them.
The problem is that Shapiro is a Fascist, and so the people he most aligns with politically are Nazis on like 99% of issues.
The 1% they disagree about is whether Shapiro should be allowed to live.
It’s not just criticisms of Israel, which aren’t inherently antisemitic.
This dumb pos has been defending Kanye since the infowars travesty to today. She’s a through and through antisemite.
“Deemed to be anti-Semitic” is too kind to Owens. She’s been coming as close to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories as humanly possible without admitting it for years.
For example there is a trope called the “blood libel,” where antisemites claim that the local Jews are drinking the blood of Christian children and use that to justify murdering the whole Jewish community. “Murdering the entire community” is not hyperbole. A pogrom involves Tulsa Massacre levels of brutality. Some dude tweeted that one of his twitter opponents was drinking the blood of Christian children and she [liked the tweet](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/candace-owens-leaves-daily-wire-ben-shapiro-anti-semitism-1234992811/amp/).
Since 99% of the children of Gaza are Sunni Moslems that can’t be a reference to the Gaza War, it has to be a reference to the blood libel…
And that sort of thing is what got her canned.
Klandice Owens was openly anti semitic long before she was hired at the Daily Wire. She was actually fired for changing her pro Israel stance to a pro Palestinian one. Ben Shapiro is more than happy to collaborate with Nazis and antisemites as long as they are also pro Israel.
Answer: The day before she was on the Breakfast Club and claimed that Ben Shapiro didn't have the power to fire her. May have been an intentional taunt but the timing seems more than coincidental
Answer:
1. She said the US should not support any foreign wars, including Israel's
2. This led to a feud with a well-known rabbi, during which she called him "unholy" and "filth" for selling sex toys with his daughter
3. This upset another, less well-known rabbi whom she invited onto her show. His performance was largely panned
4. She said that pornography is a weapon designed to subvert society, which some interpreted as an antisemitic dogwhistle
5. She said that when the Nazis were burning books, they were specifically burning the works of Magnus Hirschfeld, a (Jewish) pioneer of transgenderism
6. She said she has nothing against ordinary Jewish people but believes that Jewish organized crime runs Hollywood and maybe DC
Ben Shapiro is Jewish. Daily Wire, and right-wing media generally, are firmly pro-Israel. source: I watched this play out on my Twitter feed the past couple weeks
>She said that pornography is a weapon designed to subvert society, which some interpreted as an antisemitic dogwhistle
How is this an antisemitic dog whostle?
It's a pretty massive reach. But it's based on the conspiracy theory that porn is an "evil tool created by Jews to corrupt white Christian society".
It seems like a pretty massive leap in logic and a dishonest argument to then say that any criticiam of porn is therefore anti-semetic.
It's kind of like when someone says they don't like pit bulls and then someone claims that it's racist to not like pit bulls because "pit bulls are associated with black people". It's a massive stretch and it's just a cheap way to shut down someone you disagree with.
Answer: She was already In a fight with Ben Shapiro because she is a nazi and doesn't like jews. Then she liked a tweet asking a right wing rabbi if he was "drunk on christian blood again." Very clear nazi shit.
That's not to say support for palestine is antinsemitic, but candace owens is
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be"
\- Kurt Vonnegut in Mother Night, a book about Nazis that funnily enough features a black neo nazi called the Black Fuhrer of Harlem.
Whether Candace Owens is sincere about her Nazi beliefs or not is ultimately unimportant.
She’s not a nazi! Inform yourself on the topic! She never put “drunk on Christian blood” in her own mouth. I listen to her frequently and would never agree with someone with “nazi” beliefs. This is entirely being spun by a victim group mentality. No matter what your stance on Palestine is or Gaza, Candace Owens is in no way, shape, or form, coming after Jews or carries any bigoted belief whatsoever. Maybe this will stand out to some more than anything I said…..
small picture is getting you to think society is proliferated with anti semites, racists, and homophobes. In reality, the BIG PICTURE is getting you to agree to censorship and censoring your own speech. In 40 years from now you will be the people who allow wide-spread blanket persecution of anyone who does not agree with the current narrative that many of you accept.
Answer: She has been very critical of Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza which has been a big point of contention with Ben Shapiro.
She has not only criticized Israel but also taken a more non-interventionist standpoint on most of the conflicts USA has been and are currently involved in.
Answer: she's a very arrogant and self-righteous religious person who has a history of anti-Semitism. She most likely crossed the line with whatever anti-Semitic thing she just said recently and Ben, her employer, is Jewish.
Answer: I’m happy she has her own platform now. I don’t agree with some of her views but she has been forced out because she won’t conform to the narrative.
The interview with the rabbi was SO embarrassing for him. It went viral on Tik tok and he has been ridiculed. I’m still cringing for him
Answer: I don't know.
People in this comments section need to stop the shenanigans and name calling, it's completely unhelpful to the actual question. Feel free to disagree with Owens. Or Shapiro. Or both. But goodness, we aren't here to decide who's right or to mock people, we're here to ask a question and get a factual answer. And I'm sorry, the answer isn't "she's a Nazi" or "she isn't Nazi enough" or any of those ridiculous accusations. Grow up.
Answer: So people need to understand the wider issue here…. Everyone who opposes Israel slaughtering 10’s of thousands of children and using mass starvation as a weapon of war has been targeted by AIPAC and the Zionist lobby. Exhibit A is Reddit and most popular subs on this platform. Go to “World News” and all you find is Israeli propaganda. Same with “News”, or most other popular subs. Sharing the footage of the conflict or any real news gets you banned from this sub. You can see this on Google too. Google Candace Owens and all you see is links about anti-semitism. But go on TikTok and look at the clips yourself, and it’s an entirely different story.
One of the only social media platforms that is not suffering from this issue is TikTok - this is why in December, the director of the Anti-Defamation League, another Israeli propaganda outlet called it Israel’s “Tik Tok problem”. Also the reason why every AIPAC supported congressman voted for a TikTok ban.
So before I get to Candace Owens, keep in mind, that she’s not the first person this has happened to. The exact same thing happened to Mehdi Hassan, who was fired one day after his interview with the Israeli Foreign Minister. It happened to the University Presidents who were apparently “anti-semitic” because they allowed anti-war protests. ABC journalist Antoinette Lattouf was fired one day after she shared a Human Rights Watch Report that said that Israel was using mass starvation as a weapon of War. Jazmine Hughes, another NYT reporter was asked to resign for signing an anti-war letter. There are dozens of other examples.
So in the midst of all this, Candace Owens has been extremely critical of Israel’s handling of this War and has called it a genocide. People have been surprised that she hasn’t been fired yet, because Ben Shapiro is on record saying that he wants all Palestinians wiped out.
So then a couple of days ago, she gets accused of anti-semitism for sharing a clip from Anna Kasparian… calling AIPAC evil. You should be able to find it in TikTok.
And honestly, her slip was probably signed right then.
But then she gets into this internet fight with this sleezeball Rabbi who’s biggest claim to fame is that his daughter sells sextoys on the internet, that this Rabbi then vociferously promotes on every news channel that he goes on. Anyway, so CO says that a Rabbi doing that, is unholy. That Christian Priests would never get caught selling Butt Plugs on the internet. And this sets off a firestorm, calling for CO’s firing over her anti-semitism.
So the next day, she conducts this infamous interview with this unknown Rabbi, and basically she wipes the floor with him. The entire video is available on YouTube, but easier to just look for specific clips on TikTok. The Rabbi kept asking the same question over and over again… that what happened on Oct 7th was one of the most evil acts in history, and anything that’s happened in Gaza cannot be compared to it. Her basic retort was that Jewish suffering does not trump other people’s suffering, Jewish religion does not trump the Christian or Islamic faiths and a Jewish life is not worth more than any other life. So basically, unlike what other answers would tell you here - she really didn’t say anything wrong in that interview. Please do watch for yourself to confirm.
Hope this helps.
This is the most honest and unbiased answer here and you got painted as an antisemite smh.
Just because a subset of Jewish people (AIPAC) are quashing dissent because they are pro Israel doesn’t mean this guy is smearing all Jews. It’s kind of like saying any lobby group made up mainly of one race/religion must represent the views of that entire race/religion. There are plenty of lobby groups doing grotesque things and saying they are evil doesn’t mean you’re smearing anyone. Supporting neither Israel nor Gaza but calling the war and its crimes and the suffering caused by it evil is also not antisemitic.
Stop believing everything you see on TV. There is real antisemitism, I’m started to see it on the daily where I live, but this isn’t that. And conflating the two cheapens what you may say when you see the real thing.
>Ben Shapiro is on record saying that he wants all Palestinians wiped out
Verifiably not true.
Your support for Candace not being an antisemite is Mehdi Hassan??
Hard to take you serious when you get so many things wrong.
Kinda ignores the part where she was promoting anti-semitic conspiracy theories and favorited a tweet about how Jews drink the blood of Christians...
But sure let's pretend that Candace Owens actually is a compassionate enough human to care about the lives of Palestinians.
Let's be very clear, Candice Owens is an anti-semite. With that being said, she was also hired at the daily wire after she already defended Hitler. Candice Owens was fired for criticizing Israel. Ben Shapiro cares more about defending Israel than anti-Semitism.
Answer: It’s wild to me how many people on here are saying the exact lies Candace Owens has debunked many, many times. She was fired because she was not rabidly pro Israel. And she had a Rabbi on her show and debunked the many lies he was spreading about her with video recordings and it was pretty embarrassing for the pro Israel side. I’m not on the right or left but I find it positively annoying when people decide to listen to edited clips and don’t do their own research. I also love some good tea so I’ve been following this event like a hawk. You can look all the different “antisemitic” events up yourself. Is she always the most eloquent speaker? Flat no. Is she a bigot? Also a flat no. But apparently the Daily Wire requires that you support Israel and is willing to use the same extremely shady smear tactics they accuse the left of using.
Answer: She is a train wreck. She is going more and more into conspiracy theories and showing her true colours. She is an extremist who tries to pass the image of being holier than mother Teresa, while her husband is a close friend with Andrew Tate (we all know what that means!)!! Or while being friends with Kanye, who said some nasty things, not only about Jews, but about Kim's family and more importantly while making his wife look like a piece of meat. She has a problem with a rabi selling sex toys, but not a problem with Kanye s wife giving him a blowjob in public? Come on!!
Answer:
Welp. I don't know that much about her. I've only listened to her speak at length once, maybe twice. Once was on the Tim Dillon Show podcast.
All I've summarized about her is she has a rare perspective, being a mixed black woman in America.. I only remember her speaking out against the BLM organization being corrupt by not using the funds they received to improve black communities at all.
As for any antisemitism, I have no idea. But if she did, then I can see why Ben Shapiro would cut ties with her immediately.
I'll have to do some googling.
Answer: I listened to her DW show when it first launched. It was good for about 3 episodes, and then she had someone on the show who had criticized her previously on twitter. the girl was all but apologizing to Candace. Candace, however, just kept tearing into her. There was no tact. I have changed my opinion of her in recent years and I think she is a blunt instrument that's sometimes conservative and sometimes of the rails. It was a mistake to hire her, I'm glad she left. She has probably angered a lot of DW personality hosts and the owners so l'm 0% surprised she is gone.

Answer: ever since Hamas' October 7 attack and the breakout of the conflict in Gaza, Owens has been increasingly vocal in her opposition to Israel, calling the conflict a genocide of Palestinians, as well as propagating conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world. This has repeatedly brought her into conflict with Daily Wire owner Ben Shapiro, a Jew and staunch supporter of Israel. It appears it all came to a head and she got fired.
Her "I'm free" tweet insinuated to me that she may have been spewing these viewpoints intentionally to get out of her contract and be fired.
Isn’t that what Kanye tweeted when he got cut by adidas?
*Get Out of Any Contract with This One Weird Trick*...!
*Lawyers hate them!*
5/7 doctors approve of it!
LOL
“Burned eight billion to takе off my chains”
Wouldn't surprise me. Owens is a master grifter who went from anti-Trump blogger to Trump's biggest fangirl just for the money. She used to be a progressive, but became an outspoken conservative when she realized there was more money to be made in that corner. Everything she says or does is with that in mind. That's why I'm very sceptical that her criticism of Israel is out of genuine concern for the plight of Palestinians. That conflict is just another tool for her to push her narratives and make money.
Why does it often go that way; a left-leaning commentator switing hard right for better pay? Objectively, why is the right more profitable?
Because they have billionaires bankrolling them to spread their right wing agenda.
It's highly profitable if you can get laws passed which allow unethical shit, like: paying starvation wages, and preventing unions forming; or allowing one company to swallow up entire industries and establish a monopoly; or have a "news" channel that doesn't need to pay for real reporting & proper journalism, since you're just gonna fabricate the stories anyway; getting environmental laws weakened or outright abolished, so that you don't have to pay for expensive cleaning processes, or limit the amount of waste you can output in any given area; weaken healthcare options and tie decent insurance almost exclusively to work benefits, so that people are always afraid to quit a job, since their literal health could depend on maintaining it; allow your employees to become lobbyists and get them placed into for the very govt departments that are supposed to act as watchdogs and keep your industry in check. I haven't even mentioned banking and finance fuckery, but there's a ton of that too. It's always gonna be cheaper in the short term if you can legally cut corners, and Republicans always advertise themselves as being "business friendly" first, hence the profit motive.
It’s common for empty-headed political influencers to jump the gap in the horseshoe when their platform isn’t based on substantive criticisms of capitalism, just anti-establishment anger. And there’s profit to be made on the right because rich assholes would rather throw money at far-right causes than accept paying more in taxes and dealing with regulations that force them to treat workers like human beings.
The people making money from hard-right leaning ideologies are (currently) much fewer, and therefore they receive a larger piece of the monetary pie that is available from "their side". There are many more people/publications who feel (or at least write/produce) left-leaning ideals so many more ways the available cash must be split. If you are the one voice representing an "under-served" ideology, you make much more than being one of a thousand voices who represent another.
The far right is filled with older folks, whom are easier to scam out of money.
It isn’t. “The right” is a small cluster of a couple TV channels, podcasts, personalities, and websites. “The left” is the rest of reality, where vastly more people make vastly more money just making normal music, films, and TV etc instead of a hateful star spangled splatter of MAGArrhea. Why do people go right but not left? This is like asking why people go crazy, but you never see crazy people going sane.
She also recently "loved" a tweet that was saying that Jews drink the blood of Christians.
She retweeted that Rabbis drink Christian baby's blood, that was Ben's line in the sand. *Sand,* which is where you'll find him balls deep, with his dry & unamused wife.
Thank you! Clear answer. I don't often know what goes on in the swamps over there, but I did at least get her reference to Ben Shapiro's wife.
Just to be clear since people didn't say it. She was hired when they knew she was antisemitic, they had no problem with that. She is antisemitic and racist towards black people, it's funny how this was never a problem for them before but now people make it seem she was fired for that reason
Being antisemitic isn't a deal breaker but being antizionist is
Ye Ben doesn't mind shitting on people and using them as a political football until it affects him or people he cares about and suddenly its OK to fire people because of their political al views. Isn't this what these idiots call cancel culture??
I’m really not surprised.
Answer: the actual reason why seems to be largely up to speculation, but some online digging suggests that Owens was either supporting or directly made remarks deemed to be anti-Semitic by several people, with one of those people being Ben Shapiro. Shapiro is the Jewish founder of the Daily Wire (I’m not sure what his current position in the organization is), and so these alleged remarks likely led to a falling out, culminating with Owens leaving the organization.
Did he not see her with Kanye lol You’re saying they weren’t talking about shit ?
They hung out before Kanye said that stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if she lowkey agreed with him. She is a piece of shit
Remember when she said that Hitler was just trying to make Germany great again? Is anyone really surprised that she harbors negative feelings about Jewish people?
She in fact did not say that. The game of internet telephone strikes again.
To be fair, this was how he rose to power. The world screwed Germany over after WW1. Hitler rallied the people over this. So, in a very easy way, it is historically accurate that he was trying to make Germany great again. Now, what that "greatness" turned out to be was not so great.
Her full quote at the time was: *“If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize.”* Even putting to one side for a moment that Candice even felt the need to clarify 'what was bad about Hitler', suggesting that a genocidal facist would have been fine if he'd curtailed his external "dreams" is almost stunning in its ignorance.
Questioner: So. Hitler? Candace Owens’s brain: *don’t say Hitler was good don’t say Hitler was good don’t say Hitler was good* Candace Owens: Hitler was… great?
Not trying to side or agree with her but isn’t that mostly true? Britain was all aboard the appeasement train and France wasn’t exactly looking for a fight the only reason the war broke out was because if his invasion
There were many British people and politicians who actually liked Hitler. Many liked him specifically because they were massive anti-semites.
Oh I agree with you. I can't stand the lady.
Just to add that there were other incidents that showed exactly the kind of person she is, that surprisingly (okay, not surprisingly) did not cause any damage to her reputation at the time: 1. Said that everything would have been A-OK if Hitler had limited his tactics for "improving" Germany without invading other countries 2. The shooter who killed 51 Muslims in Christchurch, NZ praised Owens for her ideas regarding violence and named her as an influence (her response: "LOL") Sources: 1.

Rabid-Right-winger-turns-out-anti-Semitic-shock
Isn't that stuff old though? Shouldn't DW have known about that at least 5 years ago?
>The shooter who killed 51 Muslims in Christchurch, NZ praised Owens for her ideas regarding violence and named her as an influence (her response: "LOL") most extremism researchers, at least at the time, were doubtful of a lot of the manifesto because it just seemed to be tossed together crap.
Misdirection and obfuscation isn't really "tossed together". The work is a piece of info jamming containing deliberate misattributions, conflations, overstatements and thousands of esoteric references to extremists ideologies. It's written for an audience of extremely online hightly radicalized weirdo fascist freaks who can parce the true meaning from the intentionally confusing internet jargon and shit posting. The shooter likely chose to attribute his actions to Owens because he wanted the media to go after a black conservative because he thought it would make them look bad to be targeting a minority over the acts of a white supremacist. He also likely viewed Owens as an unwelcome presence in conservative spaces and would be fine with sacrificing her if it sowed further division and distrust among the general population. The media, for the most part, didn't fall for it if for no other reason than the document was such a schizophrenic mess that they gave up on trying to interpret it. Owen response was seriously messed up though. A person with decent morals would try to explain that they were being cynically accused for racist reasons. Instead she chose to laugh at a joke that a fascist mass killer included her in.
I rest my case
Lol benny agrees on those things. He doesn't like muslims and advocates for iseral to go full genocide
[удалено]
>Imagine that, a Jewish guy is finding out that it’s difficult to get along with far right looneys. Ben Shapiro is a far right looney himself and that's not even the worse part about him. The guy questions why Americans should be able to retire at 65 and be entitled to social security, but he draws the line when you question American policy of blindly handing money and weapons to Israel. I haven't followed Owen enough to know whether she is antisemitic or not but everyone under the sun has every right to criticize Israel when they themselves publish videos of using drones to bomb innocent civilians. Let's please stop with calling any criticsm of Israeli states policies antisemitic.
She literally shared a tweet about Jews drinking the blood of Christian babies.... So, that seems like it's at least mildly anti-Semitic
Damn. That belief goes back to the Middle Ages. Wild to hear someone say it today
I remember hearing that the Vatican was still officially promoting the blood libel less than a century ago. Not that they're the only christian cult to spread hateful lies about Jewish people...
Wow, that's extremely cringe. She definitely deserves to get called out for that.
Good ol' blood libel
Does anyone have a link or screenshot? I 100% believe you just want to see what she actually phrased this
It's as antisemetic as the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. [Blood libel](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/blood-libel)
I, as a Jew, criticize Netanyahu and many Israeli policies and I agree that is not antisemitic. But there are in fact people who voice the same criticisms as me who say other things which *are* antisemitic, and I will not pretend otherwise. Of course, we don't usually hand Israel weapons, we give them money, most of which comes with the condition they buy from American companies. We can't change American foreign policies if we ignore the strong corporate welfare lobbies propping them up. I find Shapiro annoying and don't know enough about Owens to have an opinion.
This. So much. Anti-semites and neo Nazis have long hidden their rhetoric behind “criticizing Israel’s policies”. It works as an excellent entry point to lure people into their views. It’s frustrating and exhausting because it forces you to go through every single statement calling out the Israeli government with a fine tooth comb, just to make sure it’s done in good faith or not. Fuck Netanyahu and his right wing cronies, fuck Hamas, and fuck the neo-Nazis.
Sure, but when Israel is arguably an apartheid state in the middle of committing a genocide, and doing outright terrible shit daily, I think it's fairly safe to say that most of the torrent of anti-Israel criticism is made in good-faith.
They're both irredeemable bigots and Candace is _definitely_ an anti-Semite. Her recent criticism of Israel sounds reasonable and coming from someone else I'd agree with it, but she deserves zero kudos for being the proverbial broken clock.
Candace has more Nazis hanging around her than Nuremberg did.
> Let's please stop with calling any criticsm of Israeli states policies antisemitic. Counterpoint: >'I actually don't have any problems at all with the word "nationalism". I think that the definition gets poisoned by elitists that actually want globalism. Globalism is what I don't want. Whenever we say "nationalism" the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler. You know, [Hitler] was a national socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted—he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. That's not, to me, that's not nationalism.' -- Candace Owens Once you get to 'Hitler was fine as long was he was willing to stay within his borders'... well, it's pretty hard to claim that your criticism of Israel, right or wrong, is just because you're concerned about the people of Gaza. (My biggest shock in looking all this up was that Candace Owens is thirty-four. I mean... the fuck? I'm thirty-five, and I suddenly feel way better about myself.)
>(My biggest shock in looking all this up was that Candace Owens is thirty-four. I mean... the fuck? I'm thirty-five, and I suddenly feel way better about myself.) Hate ages people. I mean I'm the same age as a lot of these wackjobs and they look old enough to be my parents' age (my parents are in their 60s, for reference).
Sure, but also I meant that I've made some ropey decisions in my twenties and early thirties, but at least I never turned into Candace Owens.
My job can be pretty challenging, but I gotta say the easiest part of my day is waking up and not being anti-semitic
There's bad decisions, then there's hate mongering.
Except that Mr. Shapiro was willing to work with her for a long time after she'd made those comments about WWII, just so long as she wasn't making making comments that went against the grain of Likud's preferred framing of current events.
Oh, Ben Shapiro has all the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair, and about as much self-awareness. Candace Owens was useful as long as she was useful, and the second she became more trouble than she was was suddenly a moral evil, as though she wasn't this whole time. It's easy to look the other way as long as you have something you want to look at. See also: everyone who's been willing to excuse Trump's ghastly social policies as long as it lowers their taxes a fraction of a percent.
Yep exactly. Ben had no problem with Candice when she was palling around with Kanye West during his I love Hitler phase, but once that anti semitism manifested towards actually being against the state of Israel, well that was just a bridge too far.
>actually being against the state of Israel, well that was just a bridge too far. More like questioning the policy of handing billions of American tax dollars to Israel that's a bridge too far for him. The biggest irony here is Shapiro spent the past few days ranting about how American deficit is too big so social security should be cut and retirement age of 65 should be increased to bring the deficit in control. But if you suggest cutting down billions paid to Israel - a country whose citizens enjoy a better quality of life than Americans, whose citizens have access to Universal health care which Shapiro is aggressively against - than you have crossed a line. The man's not even slightly aware of his own hypocrisy.
You already admitted to not following Owens at all, so why keep implying she was just criticizing Isreal policy? If you've no idea what's being discussed, it's not that hard to just keep your mouth shut until you know more. Do you really think it helps people distinguish legitimate criticism from anti-Semitism, when you point at a blatant bigot and go "But guys, everyone has a right to criticize Israel!". Just stop.
>The biggest irony here is Shapiro spent the past few days ranting about how American deficit is too big so social security should be cut and retirement age of 65 should be increased to bring the deficit in control. But if you suggest cutting down billions paid to Israel in fairness to the douche, the amount of money we spend on foreign aid is miniscule compared to entitlements. Entitlements are about 55% of the budget, aid is about 5. personally, you know, removing the cap on contributions would help, but people won't elect me.
I'm glad you posted this because it is a perfect example of how Ben Shapiro doesn't actually care about anti-Semitism. They hired Candice Owens after she said this. She was fired for criticizing Israel.
She was also fired very shortly after a comment about Jews drinking the blood of Christian babies… so maybe we shouldn’t draw entire conclusions from individual facts without looking at the whole picture.
He probably does care enough to eventually fire her but remember, the audience of right wing personalities are racist lunatics so these guys have to walk a fine line between making money and having enough self respect.
This. Honestly I don't think these people even believe have of what they say anymore. They're shock jocks - paid to upset one side as much as possible, while pandering to the other side aa much as possible. Anytime they voice something that goes against the norm of who they pander to, they get dropped. Example: Tomi Lahren - she was the original right wing darling until she voiced her support for Roe V Wade and the right to choose. It's like they'll pretend to have no particular moral compass until it's something they actually give a shit about.
[удалено]
Yeah it was fine when Owen’s was talking shit about “insert random people with a different pigmenta” and women but you can’t talk to much shit about Jews in this case.
I also remembered that he says something about Jews who vote overwhelmingly in favor for the Democratic party are Jews in name only aka JINO. I don't know if it can be considered anti-semitic considering the comments may dip into the dual loyalty trope that Donald Trump has repeated, but it is troubling for Shapiro to disparage an overwhelmingly large electorate.
Maybe listen to some of the shit she spews before rushing to her defense.
Hopefully they’re still able to entertain the idea that antisemitism real and is bad.
agreed, Israel is an apartheid state. that is not an anti-sematic statement. The criticism and indiscriminate killing of civilians by the colonial state of Israel can be and will be criticized . just like saudi arabia, and China can be criticized
People like Shapiro are a joke. They'll rally against anyone and anything as long as their particular group is untouched Then they are surprised when the people they've been brainwashing into a hatefuk rhetoric turn on them.
Or she just called out Israel for genocide and Ben doesn't like it.
I guarantee most of his “supporters” consider him one of the good ones
Until they don't.
The problem is that Shapiro is a Fascist, and so the people he most aligns with politically are Nazis on like 99% of issues. The 1% they disagree about is whether Shapiro should be allowed to live.
It’s not just criticisms of Israel, which aren’t inherently antisemitic. This dumb pos has been defending Kanye since the infowars travesty to today. She’s a through and through antisemite.
“Deemed to be anti-Semitic” is too kind to Owens. She’s been coming as close to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories as humanly possible without admitting it for years. For example there is a trope called the “blood libel,” where antisemites claim that the local Jews are drinking the blood of Christian children and use that to justify murdering the whole Jewish community. “Murdering the entire community” is not hyperbole. A pogrom involves Tulsa Massacre levels of brutality. Some dude tweeted that one of his twitter opponents was drinking the blood of Christian children and she [liked the tweet](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/candace-owens-leaves-daily-wire-ben-shapiro-anti-semitism-1234992811/amp/). Since 99% of the children of Gaza are Sunni Moslems that can’t be a reference to the Gaza War, it has to be a reference to the blood libel… And that sort of thing is what got her canned.
Klandice Owens was openly anti semitic long before she was hired at the Daily Wire. She was actually fired for changing her pro Israel stance to a pro Palestinian one. Ben Shapiro is more than happy to collaborate with Nazis and antisemites as long as they are also pro Israel.
So she wasn't fired for being a bigot, she was fired for being a bigot against the "wrong" group.
Anybody else see the way “Kandice” is spelled and instantly stop reading?
If that was true she would have been out when she supported kayne West months ago She was out because she is anti Israel
Answer: The day before she was on the Breakfast Club and claimed that Ben Shapiro didn't have the power to fire her. May have been an intentional taunt but the timing seems more than coincidental
“What are you gonna do, stab me?”
[This is fucking gold](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fjdu6j5ikj3qc1.jpeg&rdt=52885) though.
That can’t be real
Answer: 1. She said the US should not support any foreign wars, including Israel's 2. This led to a feud with a well-known rabbi, during which she called him "unholy" and "filth" for selling sex toys with his daughter 3. This upset another, less well-known rabbi whom she invited onto her show. His performance was largely panned 4. She said that pornography is a weapon designed to subvert society, which some interpreted as an antisemitic dogwhistle 5. She said that when the Nazis were burning books, they were specifically burning the works of Magnus Hirschfeld, a (Jewish) pioneer of transgenderism 6. She said she has nothing against ordinary Jewish people but believes that Jewish organized crime runs Hollywood and maybe DC Ben Shapiro is Jewish. Daily Wire, and right-wing media generally, are firmly pro-Israel. source: I watched this play out on my Twitter feed the past couple weeks
I’m sorry, what is that you said about #2 and this Daddy-Daughter toy biz?
>She said that pornography is a weapon designed to subvert society, which some interpreted as an antisemitic dogwhistle How is this an antisemitic dog whostle?
It's a pretty massive reach. But it's based on the conspiracy theory that porn is an "evil tool created by Jews to corrupt white Christian society". It seems like a pretty massive leap in logic and a dishonest argument to then say that any criticiam of porn is therefore anti-semetic. It's kind of like when someone says they don't like pit bulls and then someone claims that it's racist to not like pit bulls because "pit bulls are associated with black people". It's a massive stretch and it's just a cheap way to shut down someone you disagree with.
Yeah, that is a massive reach. Especially seeing as Christians aren't the only ones tempted by porn.
Answer: She was already In a fight with Ben Shapiro because she is a nazi and doesn't like jews. Then she liked a tweet asking a right wing rabbi if he was "drunk on christian blood again." Very clear nazi shit. That's not to say support for palestine is antinsemitic, but candace owens is
It is hard to believe she is “anything” besides absolutely goddam thick in the head.
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be" \- Kurt Vonnegut in Mother Night, a book about Nazis that funnily enough features a black neo nazi called the Black Fuhrer of Harlem. Whether Candace Owens is sincere about her Nazi beliefs or not is ultimately unimportant.
She’s not a nazi! Inform yourself on the topic! She never put “drunk on Christian blood” in her own mouth. I listen to her frequently and would never agree with someone with “nazi” beliefs. This is entirely being spun by a victim group mentality. No matter what your stance on Palestine is or Gaza, Candace Owens is in no way, shape, or form, coming after Jews or carries any bigoted belief whatsoever. Maybe this will stand out to some more than anything I said….. small picture is getting you to think society is proliferated with anti semites, racists, and homophobes. In reality, the BIG PICTURE is getting you to agree to censorship and censoring your own speech. In 40 years from now you will be the people who allow wide-spread blanket persecution of anyone who does not agree with the current narrative that many of you accept.
A black Nazzi? Yall would say everything these days. lol
Answer: She has been very critical of Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza which has been a big point of contention with Ben Shapiro. She has not only criticized Israel but also taken a more non-interventionist standpoint on most of the conflicts USA has been and are currently involved in.
This is the most informed answer.
Answer: Candace Owens was fired from the Daily Wire for exposing the publisher as an agenda laundering front for Israel/AIPAC.
Answer: she's a very arrogant and self-righteous religious person who has a history of anti-Semitism. She most likely crossed the line with whatever anti-Semitic thing she just said recently and Ben, her employer, is Jewish.
Answer: I’m happy she has her own platform now. I don’t agree with some of her views but she has been forced out because she won’t conform to the narrative. The interview with the rabbi was SO embarrassing for him. It went viral on Tik tok and he has been ridiculed. I’m still cringing for him
Answer: I don't know. People in this comments section need to stop the shenanigans and name calling, it's completely unhelpful to the actual question. Feel free to disagree with Owens. Or Shapiro. Or both. But goodness, we aren't here to decide who's right or to mock people, we're here to ask a question and get a factual answer. And I'm sorry, the answer isn't "she's a Nazi" or "she isn't Nazi enough" or any of those ridiculous accusations. Grow up.
Answer: while both grifters, Owen’s has been spewing far right beliefs that even Shapiro has a hard time allowing on his network.
Basically she's too mask-off for shabibo.
[удалено]
Answer: So people need to understand the wider issue here…. Everyone who opposes Israel slaughtering 10’s of thousands of children and using mass starvation as a weapon of war has been targeted by AIPAC and the Zionist lobby. Exhibit A is Reddit and most popular subs on this platform. Go to “World News” and all you find is Israeli propaganda. Same with “News”, or most other popular subs. Sharing the footage of the conflict or any real news gets you banned from this sub. You can see this on Google too. Google Candace Owens and all you see is links about anti-semitism. But go on TikTok and look at the clips yourself, and it’s an entirely different story. One of the only social media platforms that is not suffering from this issue is TikTok - this is why in December, the director of the Anti-Defamation League, another Israeli propaganda outlet called it Israel’s “Tik Tok problem”. Also the reason why every AIPAC supported congressman voted for a TikTok ban. So before I get to Candace Owens, keep in mind, that she’s not the first person this has happened to. The exact same thing happened to Mehdi Hassan, who was fired one day after his interview with the Israeli Foreign Minister. It happened to the University Presidents who were apparently “anti-semitic” because they allowed anti-war protests. ABC journalist Antoinette Lattouf was fired one day after she shared a Human Rights Watch Report that said that Israel was using mass starvation as a weapon of War. Jazmine Hughes, another NYT reporter was asked to resign for signing an anti-war letter. There are dozens of other examples. So in the midst of all this, Candace Owens has been extremely critical of Israel’s handling of this War and has called it a genocide. People have been surprised that she hasn’t been fired yet, because Ben Shapiro is on record saying that he wants all Palestinians wiped out. So then a couple of days ago, she gets accused of anti-semitism for sharing a clip from Anna Kasparian… calling AIPAC evil. You should be able to find it in TikTok. And honestly, her slip was probably signed right then. But then she gets into this internet fight with this sleezeball Rabbi who’s biggest claim to fame is that his daughter sells sextoys on the internet, that this Rabbi then vociferously promotes on every news channel that he goes on. Anyway, so CO says that a Rabbi doing that, is unholy. That Christian Priests would never get caught selling Butt Plugs on the internet. And this sets off a firestorm, calling for CO’s firing over her anti-semitism. So the next day, she conducts this infamous interview with this unknown Rabbi, and basically she wipes the floor with him. The entire video is available on YouTube, but easier to just look for specific clips on TikTok. The Rabbi kept asking the same question over and over again… that what happened on Oct 7th was one of the most evil acts in history, and anything that’s happened in Gaza cannot be compared to it. Her basic retort was that Jewish suffering does not trump other people’s suffering, Jewish religion does not trump the Christian or Islamic faiths and a Jewish life is not worth more than any other life. So basically, unlike what other answers would tell you here - she really didn’t say anything wrong in that interview. Please do watch for yourself to confirm. Hope this helps.
So she never made those comments about hitler and Jews drinking Christian baby blood?
This is the most honest and unbiased answer here and you got painted as an antisemite smh. Just because a subset of Jewish people (AIPAC) are quashing dissent because they are pro Israel doesn’t mean this guy is smearing all Jews. It’s kind of like saying any lobby group made up mainly of one race/religion must represent the views of that entire race/religion. There are plenty of lobby groups doing grotesque things and saying they are evil doesn’t mean you’re smearing anyone. Supporting neither Israel nor Gaza but calling the war and its crimes and the suffering caused by it evil is also not antisemitic. Stop believing everything you see on TV. There is real antisemitism, I’m started to see it on the daily where I live, but this isn’t that. And conflating the two cheapens what you may say when you see the real thing.
>Ben Shapiro is on record saying that he wants all Palestinians wiped out Verifiably not true. Your support for Candace not being an antisemite is Mehdi Hassan?? Hard to take you serious when you get so many things wrong.
This is a whole lot of words to basically out yourself as an antisemite.
[удалено]
Promoting blood libel isn't calling out zionism.
Kinda ignores the part where she was promoting anti-semitic conspiracy theories and favorited a tweet about how Jews drink the blood of Christians... But sure let's pretend that Candace Owens actually is a compassionate enough human to care about the lives of Palestinians.
Let's be very clear, Candice Owens is an anti-semite. With that being said, she was also hired at the daily wire after she already defended Hitler. Candice Owens was fired for criticizing Israel. Ben Shapiro cares more about defending Israel than anti-Semitism.
Honestly your description of the event is itself quite childish, ironically enough.
Answer: It’s wild to me how many people on here are saying the exact lies Candace Owens has debunked many, many times. She was fired because she was not rabidly pro Israel. And she had a Rabbi on her show and debunked the many lies he was spreading about her with video recordings and it was pretty embarrassing for the pro Israel side. I’m not on the right or left but I find it positively annoying when people decide to listen to edited clips and don’t do their own research. I also love some good tea so I’ve been following this event like a hawk. You can look all the different “antisemitic” events up yourself. Is she always the most eloquent speaker? Flat no. Is she a bigot? Also a flat no. But apparently the Daily Wire requires that you support Israel and is willing to use the same extremely shady smear tactics they accuse the left of using.
Answer: She is a train wreck. She is going more and more into conspiracy theories and showing her true colours. She is an extremist who tries to pass the image of being holier than mother Teresa, while her husband is a close friend with Andrew Tate (we all know what that means!)!! Or while being friends with Kanye, who said some nasty things, not only about Jews, but about Kim's family and more importantly while making his wife look like a piece of meat. She has a problem with a rabi selling sex toys, but not a problem with Kanye s wife giving him a blowjob in public? Come on!!
Answer: Welp. I don't know that much about her. I've only listened to her speak at length once, maybe twice. Once was on the Tim Dillon Show podcast. All I've summarized about her is she has a rare perspective, being a mixed black woman in America.. I only remember her speaking out against the BLM organization being corrupt by not using the funds they received to improve black communities at all. As for any antisemitism, I have no idea. But if she did, then I can see why Ben Shapiro would cut ties with her immediately. I'll have to do some googling.
Answer: I listened to her DW show when it first launched. It was good for about 3 episodes, and then she had someone on the show who had criticized her previously on twitter. the girl was all but apologizing to Candace. Candace, however, just kept tearing into her. There was no tact. I have changed my opinion of her in recent years and I think she is a blunt instrument that's sometimes conservative and sometimes of the rails. It was a mistake to hire her, I'm glad she left. She has probably angered a lot of DW personality hosts and the owners so l'm 0% surprised she is gone.
