The feud began last November when Owens tweeted that “no government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide.” Soon after, Shapiro publicly called Owens’ behavior “disgraceful”
Spoiler: she doesn’t actually care about Palestinians, she’s just anti-semitic.
Owens posted to X a series of Bible verses suggesting “you cannot serve both God and money.” That pointed remark was viewed by many as a not-so-subtle use of the antisemitic “dual loyalty” trope against Shapiro, who responded: “Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow comes between you and God, by all means quit.” Owens hit back that her boss was “utterly out of line” and “acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now.”
btw, pretty sure he couldn’t fire her because the CEO wouldn’t let him
Owens later liked a social-media post asking conservative rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether he is “drunk on Christian blood again” [and] defended Kanye West’s remarks.
[She previously suggested] that ‘secret Jewish gangs’ control and perpetrate ‘horrific acts’ against people in Hollywood
So three far-right propagandists facing imminent ruin unless they make an immediate pivot, but doing so for an audience that loves Israel because it keeps Jewish people from living here and hurts Muslims.
The audience they’re going for is what I’m stuck on. With Trump being so tied to Israel and them to MAGA goobers, who are they selling this to apart from people entirely unfamiliar with them?
Neo-nazis? Idk you’d be hard pressed to find them liking Candace for obvious reasons
They love Owens for the same reason they love Shapiro. Having token representation is saying you can’t be racist because you have a black friend and she’ll say anything for money.
Good point I guess, they do love that kind of smug gotchas
