In reaction to the news, many of Owens’ critics and detractors praised the Daily Wire, saying the company should have parted ways with her long ago.
Accusations of antisemitism against Owens
In light of prior remarks that Candace Owens made about Nazis, Jewish individuals, and Hitler, many branded her as a virile anti-semite.
These remarks include saying the Nazis only burned “bad books,” declaring “secret Jewish gangs” go after people in Hollywood, and stating Hitler would have been “OK, fine” if he “just wanted to make Germany great again.”
In the aftermath of the war between Israel and Hamas, Owens furthermore insinuated the Jewish state was “[committing] a genocide.” Not long after this, she went after comedian Tiffany Haddish, slamming Haddish for taking a trip to Israel last month.
Amid this rhetoric from Owens, many conservative and right-wingers questioned why the Daily Wire would keep her on the payroll, especially since Ben Shapiro, one of the co-founders, is Jewish.
So far, neither Boreing nor anyone else with the Daily Wire has confirmed that Owens’ comments on Nazis, Jews, or Hitler were the catalyst for her leaving the company.
