The Daily Wire host accused Jews of fueling antisemitism, compared some Jews to BLM, and seemed to equate Israeli hostages with Palestinian children who grow up with “the threat of bombs being dropped” around them.
It should be noted that the leadership at Daily Wire has defended keeping Owens on their platform, saying that every host has freedom of speech, and they do not cancel, fire, or censor others because of their views.
On Wednesday, Owens shared a post from Daily Wire host Matt Walsh raging against foreign aid. She then weighed in with the following: “I grew up in a town that had a large Jewish community. For whatever reason my best friends throughout my childhood and early adulthood were always Jewish,” She then mentioned her personal connections to the Jewish community, having nannied for a Jewish family in Manhattan and working for two Jewish men at a private equity fund.
“So why am I telling you this? Never once in all of those years, ever, did I hear ANY of those people accuse others of being antisemitic or a “Jew Hater”.
“That all changed when I got into politics and met what I would describe as political Jews–who operate almost exactly like Black Lives Matter.
“These people-regarding which they are a small, fringe faction, are some of those most vile, dishonest, manipulative people that I have ever met. Under the guise of fighting antisemitism, they actually create it.”
Owens continued her rant: “Just as Black Lives Matter radicals would threaten and intimidate white people’s lives by constantly smearing and libeling people into submission, these radicals do the same.”
“BLM ultimately hurt the black community. The Jewish fringe are hurting the Jewish community by misrepresenting who they are,” she continued, before focusing on Israel:
“My political philosophy has always been that we should not be using taxpayer dollars to support foreigners. I am therefore against the welfare programs for illegal immigrants. I’m against illegal immigration as a whole as it burdens taxpayers. I was against sending money to Afghanistan and Ukraine and therefore I am, of course, against sending a single dime to Israel.
“America is a country that is trillions dollars in debt. Why on earth are we sending money to a nation that has less debt than us?” she continued, adding: “This is common economic sense. Not antisemitism.”
“Ultimately what this particular fringe group of radical Jewish people are, are thugs and Marxists. They want power, and they are willing to harm their Jewish peers to get it.”
“Have the courage to call these people out. To my Jewish friends: you are not a monolith. You do not have to support their Marxism or believe their nasty lies.”
Owens concluded by saying she hopes all the Israeli hostages are “found” and that “I also cry and mourn for the little children in Palestine who are growing up with the threat of bombs dropped on them every day.”
Owens has a long history of controversial and outlandish rhetoric including saying Adolf Hitler’s “nationalism” inside Germany was “fine”, defending the sale of “Mein Kampf”, and justifying her stance against Israel by accusing Charedi Jews of being anti-Zionist.

"I also cry and mourn for the little children in Palestine who are growing up with the threat of bombs dropped on them every day"...
Candace is not stupid... she can't ignore the real reason why the bombs are being dropped.
I happen to agree with her regarding the issue of how the Jewish reform left is using and abusing anti semitism, this does not mean that she is not an anti semite which In my opinion she is.
She blamed Israel for brain washing Americans because of there super bowl add, she likes to bring up the proportionate argument. Also listen to her how she twists the narrative when talking about this conflict making sound as if there's always to side's to a story and refusing to see Hamas as who they are.
