Candace Owens leaves The Daily Wire after clashing with boss Ben Shapiro over Israel Hamas war
Daily Mail ^ | March 22, 2024 | Germania Rodriguez

Posted on 03/22/2024 8:11:01 AM PDT by Angelino97

Candace Owens and The Daily Wire have parted ways after weeks of tension with her co-founder Ben Shapiro over the Israel-Hamas war and her promotion of various conspiracy theories.

'Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,' co-founder and CEO Jeremy Boreing posted on X Friday morning.

Owens, 34, reacted to the news saying, 'The rumors are true - I am finally free.'

She also shared her personal website for those who want to support her work and teased 'many announcements in the weeks to come,' saying she will bring back her show on YouTube after a brief hiatus.

It comes after weeks of scandals surrounding the controversial conservative, who recently has launched a campaign claiming French first lady Brigitte Macron is transgender.

She has also been engaged in fiery online debates with several members of the Jewish community who she claims are targeting her for being a Christian.

Owens got her show on the right-wing outlet in 2021, after rising to national notoriety with her particular brand of conservatism, deemed far-right nationalism by her critics.

Owens also reacted on Friday morning after the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement deeming her an anti-Semite.

She wrote on X: 'I am grateful they have turned their smear merchant guns on me. The world already knows my heart. Their attacks will have the opposite desired effect. Awaken world.

'Thank you, @adl'

She continued: 'My crime, is that I do not believe that American taxpayers should have to pay for Israel’s wars or the wars of any other country.

'I will not change my mind. So the question is what will you do to me next? The world is watching.'

As long as they both continue to support conservativism and will promote Trump, I have no problem with them. Disagreements, even among conservatives, happen all the time. Don’t forget who the real enemy is.

I like Candace and Ben as both give The Left hell every day of their lives and for sure we need all the high profile black “conservatives” we can get. “We”..... meaning The Right in America.

That said, Israel is a good investment in that they keep the radical muslims busy and kill thousands of the lowlife bastards every year while saving countless lives of our young marines and soldiers. So, I support “some” AID to them. The question is “how much is too much?”

Indeed. But don’t forget Shapiro was a rabid never-Trumper and a vaxx-pusher.

I have far more disagreements with the Daily Wire than I do with Candice Owens.

I don’t pay much attention to either of them because they’re TV clowns, but on this point she’s 100% correct.

She is utterly vile. A liar and grifter of the lowest order. She has mocked those who believe in Christ in the past and now pretends she is a devout Christian. She teamed up with race baiters at the NAACP to get money years ago and now pretends to be a conservative. She drools over Kanye and “queen” Rania of Jordan and then transforms into a Hamas apologist and antisemite. A thoroughly disgusting demon and fraud.

Overall, she was my 3rd favorite on that platform, behind Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles. I guess Ben moves up to 3rd now. I highly doubt that the Macron issue didn’t play a role here.

Perhaps this was a strategic move to get out of the contract that she was in. Lest people forget the whole Steven Crowder contract issue not so long ago, it came out that the Daily Wire contracts were quite draconian to the on air talent if I remember correctly.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean someone else has to pay you for your speech.

She’s a DEI “conservative”... would not be surprised if she goes full tilt David Brock at some point.

BS right there. She is far from it and stands in every single liberal face taking the slings and arrows of being called everything negative under the sun.
