Daily Wire personality Candace Owens endorsed a centuries-old conspiracy theory about Jewish rabbis drinking the blood of Christians on X last week.
Owens has emerged as an outspoken critic of Israel — and then later the Jewish people — in the aftermath of the October 7 terrorist attack. In November, she mistakenly claimed that Muslims in the Israeli capital of Jerusalem are confined to the Muslim Quarter and then feuded with her Jewish colleague Ben Shapiro over the war between Israel and Hamas.
“You cannot serve both God and money,” declared Owens in what was widely viewed as an anti-Semitic shot at Shapiro.
More recently, Owens has blamed rising levels of anti-Semitism on “political Jews” and suggested that there was a “small ring of specific people” in Hollywood and potentially Washington, D.C. who are “using the fact that they are Jewish to shield themselves from any criticism.”
“All of us Black, Spanish, Jewish, Chinese, Japanese, all Americans should want answers because this appears to be something that is quite sinister,” she concluded.
But it appears that Owens has taken her theorizing about the Jewish people to a deeper level still.
In a post on X last Wednesday, celebrity Rabbi Shmuley Boteach accused Owens of being an “arch antisemite” who “is inciting her Jew-hating followers to threaten to murder Jews and especially me.”
“I have received untold numbers of messages like these from Candace’s Jew-hating fans. Candace Owens and @officialbenshapiro will be responsible for any acts of violence against Jews incited by Candace and the @dailywire,” declared Boteach, who also shared a direct message he received from someone threatening to knock him “the fuck out” and “spit in your face.”
“I will catch you jew boi. Ima knock you the fuck out. Ima watch you cry like a bitch,” read the message.
Boteach — who was also the subject of Owens’s “small ring” rant — received countless replies mocking him for his post, including one that Owens evidently found particularly compelling.
“It says February 20th, Rabbi. Are you drunk on Christian blood again?” asked a use with the handle @christ_gnosis.
It says February 20th, Rabbi. Are you drunk on Christian blood again?

Owens, evidently charmed by the user’s advancement of the wild anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, liked the post.
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the theory endorsed by Owens is the original “blood libel” or “false allegation that Jews murder Christians – especially Christian children – to use their blood for ritual purposes, such as an ingredient in the baking of Passover matzah.”
“Scholars have documented about 100 blood libels that took place from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Many of them resulted in massacres of Jews,” notes the ADL.
Owens also liked a post that read, “You’re making it too easy for people to hate Jews.”
Amidst Shapiro and Owens’s feud this fall, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing insisted that the company “would not fire Candace” because she “is paid to give her opinion.”
“Unless those opinions run afoul of the law or she violates the terms of her contract in some way, her job is secure and she is welcome at Daily Wire,” said Boreing.
It’s too bad she’s that ignorant.
I read recently that she is now touting the fact the Old Woman Macron married in France is actually a man.
IOW’s a French Michelle Obama.
The story seems unbelievable but, in this day, and age the stranger it is the more likely it is to be true.
She is a disappointment.
I am mostly worried about America at the moment and not willing to engage with Mediaite in causing infighting that benefits Biden who hates Israel but pretends he is for them to control them.
Jews In Hollywood ? Now that’s a crazy conspiracy theory
She’s right. I support Israel but the Jews have always hated Christians.
It’s really sad. Jews were at the forefront of the fight to get blacks their civil rights. Yet some of the most antisemitic people around are blacks.
Yes, and she said she’d stake her “reputation,” pathetic as it is, on that stupid claim.
Candace, WT*?
I have no idea if Bridgette Macron is a man, but she/he is old enough to be the parent of Emmanuel Macron.
wtf is with her? second time in as many days she’s spouting nonsense.
so what? whatever the Macrons do is their own business.
Brigitte looks like a monchichi to me, not a man.
You said: “Owens is a degenerate pig. That’s worth keeping in mind when you see the occasional remark of hers with which you agree. It doesn’t mean all her opinions are garbage, but all her opinions are emanating from a garbage human being.”
Why don’t you reread your own post and ask yourself if any decent person could write and post such vile garbage?
> the Jews have always hated Christians <
No more than any other group in conflict with another group. Unfortunately, it’s the nature of human beings. (”Conflict” is probably not the best word there.)
In the words of the Kingston Trio (from “The Merry Minuet”):
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don’t like anybody very much
I don’t really care except we were discussing Candace Owens and what she endorsing.
i believe she also thought George Floyd was murdered by a op despite the evidence showing that he died of overdose- Not sure it was her- but it might have been- i remember thinking at the time “Great, another black ‘conservative’ falls for the lie”
“Why don’t you reread your own post and ask yourself if any decent person could write and post such vile garbage?”
I re-read it and it hits the mark. She’s trash.
Or am I being too critical of someone who promotes one of the most vile and consequential libels in human history?
Sad that Owens who is brilliant and articulate on so many issues undermines her own credibility with crap like this.
Dear God, she’s lost her mind.
