Candace Owens, a figure who never shies away from controversy, has once again found herself at the center of a storm following remarks that have sparked outrage across the political spectrum. In her latest foray into the contentious realm of geopolitics, Owens leveled serious accusations against Zionists and Israel, branding them as “demon worshipers” and accusing the nation of harboring pedophiles. Such comments have not only drawn ire from her usual detractors but have also alienated allies within conservative circles.
The backlash is noteworthy, highlighting a broader issue of inconsistency in public reactions to Owens’ provocations. Notably, when her critiques were aimed at the Black community or figures such as George Floyd, whom she labeled a “thug”, the outcry was markedly less pronounced. This disparity in response raises questions about selective outrage and the boundaries of acceptable discourse within conservative media.
In defending herself against recent criticisms, Owens hinted at pressures faced during her tenure with The Daily Wire to adopt a confrontational stance towards Black people—suggesting an industry-wide predilection for divisive commentary. Her departure from the outlet amid rising tensions with Ben Shapiro over her views on Israel underscores deepening rifts within conservative media over how to navigate subjects like anti-Semitism and international conflict.

Doubling down on her contentious viewpoints, Owens utilized a platform on X Spaces to propagate theories connecting Israel to dark historical events and figures, including an audacious claim implicating the nation in President Kennedy’s assassination. These allegations, reminiscent of conspiracy theories used by Nazi propaganda, underscore Owens’ willingness to challenge established narratives at the risk of promoting misinformation.
Critics have been quick to denounce Owens' statements as dangerous fabrications that fuel anti-Semitic sentiments and contribute to misinformation. However, despite mounting criticism and calls for deplatforming due to her incendiary comments about both Black individuals and Jewish people, Owens maintains a significant following. This support base affirms her influence but also reflects broader societal divisions over what constitutes acceptable critique versus harmful rhetoric.
Owens’ continued focus on divisive issues—evidenced by her controversial fundraising efforts for figures opposing social justice movements—illustrates an ongoing pattern of antagonism towards progressive causes while stirring significant discourse on race and identity politics. As debates rage on regarding media responsibility and freedom of speech in stoking or soothing societal divides, Owens remains a polarizing figure whose next move is watched closely by both supporters and critics alike.
