Two well-known individuals connected to The Daily Wire, Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro, are involved in a public and growing conflict that mostly revolves around their contrasting views on Israel. When Shapiro used X social media to urge Owens to quit The Daily Wire if she believed that taking payment from the publication went against her moral principles, the split grew even worse. Despite being a co-founder and co-owner of The Daily Wire, Shapiro made it clear that he does not have the right to fire Owens because hiring and firing decisions are made by Caleb Robinson, the CEO.
Shapiro suggested that Owens quit from The Daily Wire in response to her piece in which she quoted a biblical verse, which intensified their argument. Shapiro was, in turn, charged by Owens for several weeks with acting in a “unprofessional” and “emotionally unhinged” manner.
This conversation follows a video on X in which Shapiro attacked Owens for her position on Israel, calling her actions “disgraceful” and casting doubt on her knowledge of the subject.
Owens, who is well-known for her critical opinions of Israel and the American government’s backing of military actions in Gaza, stressed the value of keeping professional differences amongst coworkers intact.
Owens declined to criticize Shapiro ad hominem in an interview with Tucker Carlson on X, but she did voice her displeasure with his handling of the matter and that she hoped for polite and reasonable disputes among coworkers.
The ongoing dispute reveals deeper differences over viewpoints on Israel inside the right-leaning news organization The Daily Wire. While Shapiro has taken issue with Owens’ critiques and emphasized their divergent opinions, Owens has condemned any sort of genocide in reaction to the Israeli military’s response to the Hamas attack on October 7.
The argument highlights the difficulties media organizations encounter in reconciling differing viewpoints among their staff members regarding delicate geopolitical matters. Regarding the ongoing disagreement between its two well-known characters, The Daily Wire has not yet responded.
I am of the same opinion as Candace.
If Netanyahu wants to take this opportunity to do ethnic cleansing of all the Arabs in Palestine (ironic is it not?), the USA should not be in any way involved. Biden is old enough to know better
Bombing civilians, hospitals and cutting their water , electricity and supplies are NEVER justified tactics from civilized people…no matter how many Hamas the IDF claims may be hiding among the civilians (where else are they going to go in Gaza?)…..those are the actions of Nazi or Russian barbarians.
It is clear Hamas knew Netanyahu and his zionist hawks would react with brutality. The sad thing is Hamas do not mind a few thousands dead arab women and children because they also know Israel’s actions will awaken the old hatreds and the dead Hamas soldiers will be replaced by thousands of justifiably angry arabs.
Also sad as well is the real fear of the danger of Anti-jewish sentiment against American Jews that have little or nothing to do with the right wing hawks in Israel.
After reading your response I know you have some intellect. However, your comment is flatout stupid and grossly ignorant! No one likes war!
If you know anything about war, and you should know given the Holocaust and other wars they is always collateral damage! We shouldn’t even be sending billions to Ukraine when we have a war in our own country that only part of this country is acknowledging. I guess it’s going to take another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 before people like you get off your butts and stand behind what any person with common sense would do. YOU DESTROY THE ENEMY! If people are that stupid to vote terrorists into power and allow terrotists to build their bungalows and hold weapons in hospitals and use humans for shields they are going to suffer consequences. You don’t stay in that situation and put yourself in danger. Hamas are not human! They are vile barbarians who are smarter than people like you! KNOWING people like you, Candace, and other bleeding hearts who refuse to see the reality and would be against people being attacked you just lost the war from being unable to make those difficult decisions! YOU just gave them the power to walk in! Well done, you just got more people killed! Get it through your hard head they HAMAS AND ANY OTHER TERRORIST GROUPS MUST BE DESTROYED PERIOD!
The Nazis destroyed not just jews but ANYONE who did not agree with their beliefs! If you were not a TRUE German and didn’t stand by Hitler they dealt with all that oppose them, torture and death. The weak like you would roll over on your backs! Firtunately, there are people that did fight for our countryand others, good thing for you too so you can say stupid things like this! Good thing jews weren’t relying on you to help them! It is the same thing now as in Nazi Germany! If you do NOT agree with Hamas and their ideas you get killed. I would like to see how quickly these sympathisers in the US, UK, and AUS would last against Hamas. You know the boy in the dress screaming Free Palestine wouldn’t last two minutes, his head would be lopped off or thrown off the roof no questions asked!
US stood by and did NOTHING until Pearl Harbor was attacked and killed many of our soldiers! We were pulled into the war! We now have soldiers injured by these people including many cultures and US citizens at the music festival as well as these poor people whose babies were put in ovens, others beheaded and holocaust survivers just to go through this! You sit on your ass and ask for cease fire. Why don’t you go over and see how well you do against Hamas letting people go! People like you are so clueless!
The very idiots who are part of this country voted Biden into power who funded terrorists to pull this horrible event off with OUR tax money!!!!! This is not only on the democrats shoulders but US citizens that voted this senile corrupt pervert into office so he could lift sanctions, paid them money which ended up going to Hamas, NOT the Palestinians multiple times by Biden but Obama!
It’s sad but this is the reality of war! You’d better pray Trump gets in to clean out this country before another disaster happens on our soil! They are here, making plans, indictrinating the youth in these colleges and just waiting for the opportu ity to strike!
DEATH TO HAMAS! MAY ISRAEL BE PROTECTED BY GOD AND DESTROY ALL TERRORISTS! THERE WILL BE DEATH OF INNOCENTS BUT THEY BROUGHT THIS ON THEMSELVES WITH OCTOBER 6TH!
To those sympathisers in the US may they receive the harshest of consequences for suppotting terrorists! Shame on all of you that think a ceasefire is acceptable and backing Palestine! Your ignorance is unacceptable and blinded! Maybe next time they will be more careful who they vote into power! BEN SHAPIRO IS CORRECT!
an antisemite can not hide no matter how bad the enemy behaves.it is always the jews fault. Hamas started the war. so Israel is supposed to stay put like it happened with the nazis. no way no more never again, so stick your views and your comments about the poor palestinians who were lied to by their own people not the jews. mina fox raif
Anyone that uses the word genocide when talking about Israel, should be dismissed as an ill-informed moron. Even worse saying they bombed a hospital.
Open your eyes and look at what is actually happening in the real world. There are two million Arabs living in Israel, peacefully and with the same rights as Jews.
Israel isn’t doing ethnic cleansing, like the Arab countries did by the way, they are trying to destroy as much of Hamas as possible. Why not just carpet-bomb everything without warning? That would certainly kill more people. No they are surgically attacking Hamas and their tunnels and their weapons and their hideouts underneath hospitals. Going rom-by-room. Hamas is the main problem. They have guns pointed at the heads of the unarmed citizens and in many cases, forcing them to stay in area already warned.
Ben Shapiro Pfft. He should be boycotted just like Budlight, WHY? Well:
Remember Michelle Fields, the supposed reporter that was thrown to the ground by Trump and Corey Lewandowski? And remember Ben Shapiro in the whole of the Fiasco? He said he saw it happen and he got on his wrong high horse and started a tantrum? I do: Reporter Michelle Fields has resigned from conservative website Breitbart News. Editor-at-large Ben Shapiro also resigned.
“I can’t stand with an organization that won’t stand by me,” Fields tweeted this morning. The news first emerged on BuzzFeed, which ran statements from Fields and Shapiro this morning criticizing the Breitbart site — and, in Shapiro’s case, also saying that Breitbart News chair Steve Bannon had sullied the legacy of the site’s founder, Andrew Breitbart, who died in 2012.
BOYCOTT BEN
Jesus is the Christ, America was set up on the morals and many principals in the Bible and Ben has no idea what he’s ranting about – BUT STAND for Candace
