In a move that underscores the relentless liberal bias and the pressure conservative voices face, Jeremy Boreing of the Daily Wire announced on March 22, 2024, that the partnership with Candace Owens has ended. This decision marks a disappointing conclusion to a saga filled with ideological battles and personal attacks against one of conservatism’s most outspoken figures. Jeremy Boreing’s tweet confirmed the separation, leaving no doubt about the challenges facing conservatives in today’s political climate.
The backdrop to this unfortunate outcome involves Candace Owens’ tenure at the Daily Wire, characterized by her fearless stance on various issues, including her strong positions on Israel. Despite aligning with conservative values, Owens found herself at odds with co-founder Ben Shapiro, particularly regarding U.S. involvement with Israel following the attack on October 7th, 2023. Owens boldly questioned the wisdom of U.S. military intervention and critiqued what she perceived as problematic actions by the IDF.
This critical stance sparked outrage from Shapiro, who resorted to calling Owens “disgraceful” for her “faux sophistication” on these matters. Such internal conflicts within conservative circles only encourage our opponents and distract us from our common goals.
Despite these tensions simmering down after a few weeks, Owens took to social media on March 19, 2024, to voice her frustration over being “routinely threatened, smeared and libeled for years.” Her tweet reads: “A lot of people asking why I am speaking out so much as of late… Truly because I’ve had enough.” In her message and subsequent YouTube video link provided in her post, Owens vows to expose the history of threats she’s faced both privately and publicly since entering politics.
This public declaration was followed by a response to an interview with Rabbi Barclay—a fervent advocate for Israel—further illustrating how contentious discussions around Israel can become within conservative ranks.
The culmination of these events led to what can only be described as an ugly end to a public dispute between Candace Owens and elements within the Daily Wire. It is disheartening to witness such division among conservatives, mainly when it silences bold voices like Owens who dare challenge prevailing narratives.
To see this kind of fragmentation is not just disappointing; it’s a stark reminder of how deeply entrenched liberal ideologies are in attempting to dismantle conservative unity through relentless attacks and character assassination. The end of Candace Owens’ association with the Daily Wire isn’t just about internal disagreements—it symbolizes a broader battle for free speech against those who wish to suppress conservative viewpoints under any pretense they can muster.
