Candace Owens booted from Daily Wire after promoting anti-Semitic conspiracies

Candace Owens is described by left-leaning and far-left media as a "far-right" media figure when she was a contributor on The Daily Wire. But the left labels anyone who is not woke as "far-right." Owens is closer to the middle than that, except when it comes to those, you know, Jews.

The Daily Wire is a conservative outlet founded by Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jewish man, and Jeremy Boreing, a Christian. When it became clear that Owens not only sided with her friend, the anti-Semite Kanye West, but also agreed with him about Israel, Shapiro was visibly upset but did not fire Owens because conservatives find canceling people they disagree with repugnant. 

But after months of Owens' anti-Semitism continuing, it was obvious that she had to go. It wouldn't surprise me if Daily Wire lost subscribers because of her anti-Semitic rhetoric. 

Boreing posted the news about Owens' firing to social media on Friday, writing that Owens and the company had “ended their relationship.” She had joined the company in 2020 and was one of their leading pundits. When she was terminated she covered her embarrassment on X by posting:

 “The rumors are true – I am finally free.”

Yes, Candace Owens is free of a. job, at least for now. I'm sure she'll find one, perhaps at Al Jazeera or Huffington Post, but I repeat myself. 

Owens became publicly anti-Semitic when she defended Kanye West, an open anti-Semite who helped make it fashionable among the woke, and confirming among Islamists. Back in 2022 West tweeted that he was "going Deathcon 3 on Jewish people." This was his first sign of Jew hatred.

But Owens had even made questionable statements before backing West's sentiments. For example, in 2019 she said that Adolf Hitler would have been “fine” if he had kept his nationalism local rather than trying to project it globally.

In 2021 Owens compared mandatory Covid-19 shots for children to Nazi and Soviet youth programs.

Insofar as her employment with The Daily Wire is concerned, she and Shapiro banged heads after the Hamassholes massacred Israelis on October 7, 2023 and she became highly critical of Israel fighting back in Gaza. The following month, Shapiro said on video that Owens' behavior was "absolutely disgraceful" when he spoke at a private event.

Earlier this month, Owens suggested in Daily Wire video that “secret Jewish gangs” perpetrate “horrific acts” against people in Hollywood and proposed the idea that a “ring of Jews in Hollywood” is involved in “something quite sinister.” She also recently favorited a tweet repeating a false claim about Jews drinking Christians’ blood.

Perhaps she's doing this anti-Semitic bit to get her face on screen, but it's a hell of a way to go about it. For me, I don't give her that much credit other than to say that I think she's the racist that she often calls others.

Good riddance to her.
