Sellout Candace Owens has been kicked off the Ben Shapiro show for "independent thinking." She was the right wing darling when she was denigrating blacks, making apologist videos for slavery, declaring how white supremacy was fake news and how George Floyd was a criminal. But now....
Prominent right-wing commentator Candace Owens has left the Daily Wire, the website founded by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, after months of promoting antisemitic ideas.
In a statement posted to social media Friday morning, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing said the company and the pundit “have ended their relationship.”
“The rumors are true — I am finally free,” Owens said in her own post.
The details of Owens’s exit weren’t immediately clear, but it follows increased tension over antisemitic rhetoric that pitted Owens against Shapiro, who is Jewish, and the rest of the site’s more mainline conservative figures.
The Daily Wire didn't respond to a request for further comment. Owens couldn't be reached for an immediate comment.
In a Thursday appearance on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, Owens acknowledged her strained relationship with Shapiro but claimed that “Ben doesn’t have the power to fire me.”
The right has run their mouths about Ilhan Omar who has opposed the Jewish government. But Owens said some stuff straight out of Farrakhan and crickets.
