Daily Wire CEO Blasts Candace Owens Over ‘Christ Is King’ Refrain: ‘You Are a Blasphemer and an Antisemite and a Piece of Crap’

Jeremy Boreing, the CEO of The Daily Wire who announced Candace Owens’s departure from the outlet last Friday, blasted his former employee for using the phrase “Christ is King” to justify her descent into overt anti-Semitism over the last few months.

The refrain first gained attention last fall when Owens used it amidst a row with her then-colleague Ben Shapiro. She has since fallen back on it a number of times in order to justify her advancement of various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Lot of right of center YouTubers, for example, Auron MacIntyre, have talked about this topic. One of the more humorous aspects are Muslim YouTubers saying, "Christ is King".

I have not followed this closely, but what specifically did Candace say that was anti-Semitic?

[CodeToad]

Amazing how many jews own left-wing corporations.

Well Christ is king

I read an article on this and I could find nothing that she said there was antisemitic. There was a bit about coming to the surface the concept that Ben Shapiro is a Jew and she is a christian. The two religions do have different beliefs when it comes to christ. But saying Christ is King is not antisemitic.

This Boreing fellow is behaving rather infantile.

There’s a meme going around that I can’t find on short notice, which goes something like:

Anti-semitism used to be where someone disliked Jews. Now, it’s someone who Jews dislike.

Christus regnat!

Auron’s take was perfect. Klavan is craven when it comes to his bosses.

“But saying Christ is King is not antisemitic.”

Absolutely correct.

[escapefromboston]

If I recall it’s a Joseph Sobran quote

[old school]

There’s something suspicious about the fact that in this incessant accusation, I’ve not heard one detail that points me to anti-semitism. What did she say, dammit?

[thefactor]

Are you saying The Daily Wire is a left-wing corporation?

[hotsteppa]

Since this Isreal/ Hamas war there have been many conservatives spouting the Hamas propaganda. It's quite shocking. Candace has been one of them. She is a fraud.

Is the CEO of the Daily Wire a Jew?

[bk1000]

She recently used a few strange tropes about Jews drinking blood and such.
It seemed out of character for her. Don’t know if pregnancy hormones caused it or what.

“Is the CEO of the Daily Wire a Jew?”

Born in Slaton, Texas, to a Christian family.

[Racketeer]

I do not know why a society can criticize whomever it wants of any race, creed, culture or religion without hearing a negative barrage for the criticism.

But say one thing, even something that is truthful, that cast a negative aspersion upon someone who is jewish and the knives do come out.

Say it ain’t so.

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in many a year. Joe Sobran was a columnist in the Conservative Chronicle . I had a subscription to that, lord, 30 something years ago. Lots of conservative writers-Pat Buchanan, Mona Charen, William Safire, to name a few.

This was the straw that broke the camels back:

But Owens’ rhetoric about Jewish people appeared to reach a new low this week when she liked a social-media post asking conservative rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether he is “drunk on Christian blood again”—an overt reference to the antisemitic “blood libel” canard that has regained popularity on the far-right via QAnon. (Days earlier, Owens dabbled in other antisemitic tropes by suggesting there’s a Jewish “gang” in Hollywood.)
