Candace Owens
Candace Owens is a conservative political commentator, author, and activist that rose to prominence for her critiques of liberal politics, advocacy for conservative values, and outspokenness on social media platforms. However, in recent months, Owens has unmasked her dormant antisemitism that ultimately led to her departure from Ben Shapiro’s platform, the Daily Wire.
Owens starting raising eyebrows in 2019 when she seemingly defending Hitler’s actions in Germany, citing “Nationalism” as a justification. Then in the fall of 2022 after disgraced rapper Kanye West issued a string of threats directed at the Jewish community, Candace Owens endorsed it. She even went as far as to rebuke Jewish individuals who interpreted the remarks as antisemitic, asserting, “If you are an honest person, you did not think this tweet was antisemitic.” She then poked fun at any Jewish person who may have been fearful over the rapper’s tweet.
Let’s take a stroll down antisemitism lane to see how Candace Owens really feels about the Jewish people:
- Appeared on a podcast with antisemitic rapper An0maly, quipping that Dennis Prager’s warmth makes you “ forget he’s Jewish.”
- Liked a social media post referencing the dangerous blood libel that Rabbis drink Christian blood. Owens would go on to peddle in the blood libel claiming Jews hunted down Christians during Passover.
- Claimed Israel forces Muslims into segregated quarters and insinuated Hollywood is run by “ sinister Jewish gangs.”
- Claims Israel is a safe haven & established for pedophiles.
- Garnered praise from white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who called her “ the face of total Jewish defeat.”
- Peddled conspiracies like Jews orchestrating JFK’s assassination & Israel being behind ISIS.
- Owens claims that Israel “took over” America and even stated that if anyone else dared to call Israel an ally, she’d “ punch them in the face.” She ended her rant, “I just want to be clear: anything happens to me, blame the Zionists, like 1,000%, blame the Zionists.”
- Dabbles in Holocaust denial by claiming Dr. Mengele’s horrific experiments on Jewish prisoners as “ propaganda.”
- Keeps company with antisemitic misogynists like Andrew & Tristan Tate and Dan Bilzerian, who promote wild conspiracy theories, including Israel’s involvement in 9/11 and the USS Liberty incident.

Once celebrated for her unapologetic takes that catapulted her into the conservative spotlight, Owens was given platforms by prominent Jewish conservatives like Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro. But after Hamas’ October 7th massacre, she revealed her deep-seated antisemitism, leading to her departure from the Shapiro’s Daily Wire and condemnation from PragerU.
Owens’ remarks were so vile that even evangelical and conservative groups denounced her, including her father-in-law, Sir Michael Farmer. In addition, She’s been banned from countries like New Zealand and Australia, blaming the fallout on a “ Zionist media empire.”
