On Friday, The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing announced the company has ended its relationship with high-profile conservative commentator Candice Owens.
“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” announced Boreing on X.
Owens’ departure comes after months of tensions between her and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Mediaite has more:
In November, Boreing had insisted that Owens was “paid to give her opinion,” and that until her opinion violated the law or the terms of her contract, she would be “welcome at Daily Wire.”
But that defense of Owens came before any of her more recent and more brazen comments.
Amidst renewed attention on her anti-Semitic comments this week, Owens has doubled down. After the Anti-Defamation League noted that infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes had been praising Owens for her rhetoric, Owens said she was “grateful” that the organization had “turned their smear merchant guns on me.
“The world already knows my heart. Their attacks will have the opposite desired effect. Awaken world,” she wrote on X.
