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.
Your post is BS. And if you are imply that Candace needs to be "hit", that makes your post even worse.
Produce the the twitter where she said what you claim. She claims she never said the moon landing was a hoax and that she was taken out of context.
It's not hard to read the Fake News and "comprehend" what they are saying. It is hard to apply a little critical thought to some of the things that they claim are facts that turn out to be fake.
You’d think FReepers would be more wise to this. Some of the comments here are disgusting.
Candace is a warrior that has done so much for the conservative cause. Of course, one perceived misstep, even one that is most likely distorted, and we attack our own.
She is changing minds in the young and the black communities. OF COURSE SHE IS A TARGET OF THE LEFT.
Wake up people.
You have confirmed that you are just a gullible fool. Thank you.
Thomas Sowell makes up for all the fakes.
Candace said it: https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1487107786609676289? .
If she now wants to lie and deny what she said, who can be surprised?
And how can you be so gullible? LOL
It would not surprise me if the media is lying. They usually do. But I am not basing my comment on this article alone. She has a very liberal stance on what is going on in Israel. And she does not like the Jewish people very much at all. She cannot see the big picture here, and it would be very destructive to put someone in power who can’t see the big picture. As long as those terrorists are in power and have strong influence over those in Gaza then those people are going nowhere good.
The tweet begins...
"Now for some light-hearted fun. "
Your post reminds me of when Trump jokes around, and the media takes him seriously.
Is she also “joking” about Jewish people drinking Christian blood? Your comparing this demented woman to Trump is quite disgusting. She’s accusing Trump’s daughter of being a vampire, and you defend her.
I point out correctly that Candace Owens began her moon walking tweet by saying she wasn't serious and you respond by accussing me of defending Candace Owens for accusing Trump's daughter of being a vampire.
Your response is "disgusting".
Tom Lehrer was more on point:
Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the muslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.
This particular thread is believing a lie in the article, promulgated by the poster of the article. A lie as sick as any of the damnable anti-Trump lies.
Well said.
Expand please.
If you mean the sea change, I see new evidence of minds changing as life becomes more intolerable for those who are not among the wealthy class. Including those who still represent the middle class, because even they are finding it harder & harder to not feel the impacts, even if the impacts are far less than the majority are seeing. Also, they see friends & even family becoming targets. In other words, more are starting to see that the looney conspiracies, aren't as looney as they once believes, and that the conspiracies are becoming more real with each passing day.
if she did, i wasn’t aware of that- all i was aware of was that she said “Just because he was a criminal does not mean you deserve to die at the knee of a police officer. I can’t say it enough, no, he did not deserve to die in that manner.”
Okay I just found Candace's early comments on Chauvin. Apparently her initial position was that Chauvin was guilty.
Everything Candace Owens Has Said About George Floyd So Far (June 2020)
Two years after that, she said that it was nolonger the fault of the cop.
It's ramping up.
Mediate is a pretty trashy reporting agency from what I’ve seen in the past.
