Conservative Commentator Candace Owens Departs The Daily Wire
In a surprising turn of events, conservative commentator Candace Owens has officially parted ways with the Daily Wire, as announced by the outlet’s CEO, Jeremy Boreing. The details surrounding her departure remain unclear, as Boreing did not provide any specific reasons or circumstances. However, Owens herself responded to tabloid reports by confirming the news and expressing her relief, stating, “the rumors are true—I am finally free.”
Owens went on to tease her fans with promises of future announcements and encouraged them to visit her website to support her work or make donations. She also mentioned a brief hiatus before returning to YouTube, though no further details were provided.
While Owens may have left the Daily Wire, her episodes can still be found on the outlet’s website, with the most recent one posted on March 19. This departure comes several months after a public feud between Owens and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro on social media. The disagreement reportedly stemmed from differing opinions on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
In November, Shapiro criticized Owens’ comments regarding the Hamas attacks as “disgraceful” and called her claims of Israeli genocide in Gaza “ridiculous.” However, Boreing stepped in to clarify that Owens would not be fired and emphasized the outlet’s commitment to free speech. He stated that he and Shapiro shared a desire not to regulate the speech of their hosts, even when they disagreed with them.
The controversy continued this week when the left-wing Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accused Owens of making anti-Semitic comments during the Israel-Hamas conflict and alleged that she was being promoted by Nick Fuentes. In response, Owens denied any connection with Fuentes and accused the ADL of conducting a smear campaign against her. She reiterated her belief that American taxpayers should not have to fund wars in other countries.
Owens also participated in a YouTube interview with “Charlamagne tha God” on March 21, during which she addressed the situation with Shapiro. She claimed that Shapiro did not have the power to fire her and suggested that his emotional attachment to Israel influenced his extreme reaction to her opinions.
As of now, Ben Shapiro has not issued a statement regarding Owens’ departure or their previous dispute. While the circumstances of her departure from the Daily Wire remain a mystery, it is clear that Owens is ready to move forward and continue advocating for her beliefs independently.
In conclusion, Candace Owens’ departure from the Daily Wire has sparked intrigue and speculation within conservative circles. With limited information available, it is uncertain what led to her separation from the outlet. However, Owens’ public feuds and controversial remarks regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict have likely played a role. As she embarks on her new chapter, Owens remains determined to stand up for her beliefs and maintain her independence.
