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.
That is an understatement. Candace also says the moon landing was faked. Lucky for her Buzz Aldrin wouldn’t hit a woman like he did the man who said that to his face.
no- i had said i know nothing about her supposed jew hatred- I don’t believe she woudl be a Jew hater personally-
Not sure why you say that. I believe she made a documentary saying that Floyd wasn't killed by the cop.
Harriet Tubman was indeed pistol-packing, 2A-believing Republican.
However, the picture you posted is of Mary Fields, aka "Stagecoach Mary", who delivered mail by stagecoach from 1895 to 1903.
Wow, she’s even worse than Stew Peters!
Charlie Kirk must be scratching his head about this. He deep-sixed her a few years ago from TPUSA because she popped off about something else. (I didn’t recall the issue now.) This current thing can’t be helping his cause.
With all the misinformation going around I tend to not believe this stuff about Candace.
I believe the issue here is that Candace said on X/Twitter that no nation has the right to commit genocide. I believe she never criticized Israel for committing genocide.
I would need to see the full context.
Bridgette was Macron’s teacher. And I don’t mean college.
Either that or you are a gullible fool.
Mediate is not exactly known for its truthful reporting, first off. They are especially not know for being honest about conservative figures.
The fact that they would not link to the post in question, but do link to another post, speaks volumes to me. That's a subterfuge tactic used to confirm a lie by linking to another article mentioned that is true.
Sounds too much like the most current lie being presented by left pundits of every stripe stating that Trump called for a bloodbath if he wasn't reelected.
Until I hear the context in which it was stated stated by her, I can't make a final judgement about her, or you quite frankly. But like this article, I will put my disparaging statement about you, out there for all to see.
Let's see if you will bring forth the evidence that proves this article is being honest, and that your statement bears any validity whatsoever.
Did you come down from New York City before or after you signed up here a year ago? It was clear to me that Owens was strictly referring to Schumer and that cabal of power-mad socialists who, by living the negative caricature, do more harm to Jewish people than any ignorant rapper.
Sorry, but that is a false statement.
This story could plausibly be true...but based upon the presented evidence is a reach. A wild and hysterical reach.
Maybe they could ask her to clarify her statement.
I’ve never “accidentally” liked a post accusing Jews of using the blood of Christian children to bake matzah.
“Owens is a degenerate pig.
Either that or you are a gullible fool.”
My reading comprehension is A+. I’m going to go with the former.
“Did you come down from New York City?”
Sorry, Charlie. Miami native. Born at Mercy Hospital. Coral Way Elementary, Shenandoah Junior High, Coral Gables High.
(By the way, I love when Jew-haters try clarifying that “When I said that I hated Jews, I meant only certain Jews.”)
Sort of like a modern-day Mrs. Robinson, except according to Candace Owners Mr. Robinson.
I’ve now read the additional post you’ve made. I’m going with the latter.
“But then the post she likes doesn’t actually say all that, does it.”

“It says February 20th, Rabbi. Are you drunk on Christian blood again?”
I guess that refers to some other, non-anti-Semitic instance of Jews drinking Christian blood. Pardon my naïveté.
TOTALLY!!!! There was a day I respected Candice Owens.
The “ wheat and the tares” are truly being separated these days before our eyes!
