The Daily Wire and controversial right-wing commentator Candace Owens parted ways on Friday, according to CEO Jeremy Boreing.
“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” announced Boreing on X.
Owens’s departure comes after months of tensions between her and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over her promotion of various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
After the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel and outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip, Owens quickly emerged as a critic of Israel’s military operations, promoting falsehoods about supposed religious segregation in Jerusalem and all but accusing Israel of genocide.
In the months since, Owens has lashed out against “political Jews” and theorized about a “small ring” of “sinister” Jews exerting influence in Hollywood and Washington, D.C..
Most recently, she liked a tweet promoting the blood libel that Jews drink Christian blood as part of certain religious ceremonies, as Mediaite reported on Monday.
In November, Boreing had insisted that Owens was “paid to give her opinion,” and that until her opinion violated the law or the terms of her contract, she would be “welcome at Daily Wire.”
But that defense of Owens came before any of her more recent and more brazen comments.
Amidst renewed attention on her anti-Semitic comments this week, Owens has doubled down. After the Anti-Defamation League noted that infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes had been praising Owens for her rhetoric, Owens said she was “grateful” that the organization had “turned their smear merchant guns on me.
“The world already knows my heart. Their attacks will have the opposite desired effect. Awaken world,” she wrote on X.
Owens responded to her departure on X shortly after Boreing’s announcement by declaring that she was “finally free” and soliciting donations.
Actually it’s not just they work harder but are smarter
I’m not sure Hollywood ghostland on Yom Kippur is the same as Like a Big a Pizza Pie That’s Amore is a good comparison
I listened to Douglas Murray and two rabbis discussing Jewish love of leftism yesterday in Jerusalem
One can talk about this forever
Cause it’s been forever or seems like it
Is it sinister from the Jewish left?
Is deconstructing western civ and openly attacking Christian traditionalism over whatever reason sinister?
You be the judge
Is rioting on campuses screaming river to the sea or attacking Jewish students at NYU or in London sinister?
It is to me
I recognize my enemies even if it’s not comfortable
It’s hard for the right ones and I know that
Stephan Miller says same things MTG does about this political war
Hard to complain about him
Shapiro?
He gets on my nerves
He floats between neocon and protocon
Uninformed often
Owens says wacky not thought through stuffy
A DEI darling of the right
Problem is we need everyone on our side to win
This kind of weirdness isn’t new for Owens - this is an interesting article from the Washington Examiner; apparently she is certain that Brigitte Macron is a man:

I agree with Tremoglie that at some point, Owens changed from what we believed at the start, and turned toward tinfoil conspiracy mongering. I think her ego got the better of her.
They are greatly over-represented in many of our important institutions. Government, education, corporations ...
*********
What does this weird statement mean? If someone is in a position, it is likely they worked for it, or were talented enough to get it in spite of antisemitism. Please explain.
I knew about her marriage. Her husband needs to give her a talking to.
Jews make up 2.4% of the U.S. adult population. They are greatly over-represented in many of our important institutions. <
Jamestown1630 is correct. Jews are over-represented in many institutions because they work harder.
******
Amen. Yes, exactly.
Antisemitic, I mean.
She was about the only reason I went to the daily wire.
Candace was way more popular than Ben. Should be interesting to see what happens to the Daily Wire going forward.
I don’t think modern day Zionists drink the blood of Christians either. That is just lunacy.
“But if she has gone antiSemetic I am done with her.”
****************************************************
She didn’t say anything antisemitic she was libeled but because she’s considered a public figure she can’t easily sue.
Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO
Last week I read an article about myself that may have been the most libelous piece ever written about me.
Curiously, its author was another Rabbi.
So I decided to invite him onto my show to discuss.
A truly shocking discussion unfolded…
Lots of tender-hearted Conservatives around who’s sensitive feelers get hurt often...
Can only handle so much verification of how disgusting the Leftist propagandists are. Watching the full context bloodbath clip earlier this week and then seeing what the propagandists said has used up my capacity for this week.
When it comes to Israel there’s more than a few conservative snowflakes. They try and enforce their own version of censorship on conservatives who don’t put Israel first. They aren’t all that different from the leftists who try to control the narrative by canceling those with whom they disagree.
Have you actually watched Candace’s segment on Brigitte Macron?
A lot of people jump onto bandwagons without first doing their homework. Is that what you’ve done here?
Did you see her post on X where she said she would bet her career on Brigitte being a biological man?
Well, yes. That’s the segment I’m talking about. Did you see it too? I thought it was a well-done, reasonable piece.
This seems to confirm that she really believes it. Are you saying that you believe it too?

Like her or not, Owens has said some incredibly dumb and damaging things in recent months. It’s probably better for her to withdraw than do anymore damage.
I saw that too. Until then I always thought it a crazy rumor that couldn’t possibly be true, but after watching her show on that I changed my mind to it being quite possibly true.
What has she said that was incredibly dumb and damaging?
