Daily Wire host Candace Owens had been publicly feuding with colleague Ben Shapiro over their views on Israel, as well as her antisemitic remarks
“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Daily Wire cofounder and CEO Jeremy Boreing announced on X on Friday morning.
Owens also confirmed on X that she would no longer be working with the Daily Wire, writing, “The rumors are true — I am finally free,” before redirecting her followers to her website, adding, “There will be many announcements in the weeks to come.” In a separate tweet, she linked to her YouTube channel, telling her followers she would be resuming posting content on there “after a brief hiatus.”
Though neither Boreing nor Owens publicly elaborated on the circumstances behind her departure, the announcement comes on the tail end of months of public friction between Owens and Daily Wire cofounderover their conflicting views on the Israel-Hamas war, as well as Owens’ promotion of antisemitic conspiracy theories.
In the following months, Owens has graduated from criticizing Israel’s military actions to increasingly antisemitic rhetoric on social media, alluding to the existence of a “sinister” Jewish “a tweet accusing Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a longtime critic of Owens, of being “drunk on Christian blood,” a reference to the antisemitic blood libel conspiracy theory that has been used to defend the persecution and murder of Jews for centuries.
Despite Shapiro’s public condemnation of her comments, prior to Friday’s announcement Owens had seemingly been unconcerned about her status at the Daily Wire. As recently as earlier this month, she told Breakfast Club host Charlamagne tha God that in response to Shapiro’s remarks criticizing her, “I chose peace, he responded to the peace with not peace,” adding, “Ben doesn’t have the power to fire me.
