You can see how the words of Candace Owens offended Ben Shapiro. Ben was obviously very traumatized by the HAMAS attack and takes it very personally. I don’t understand how Israel can get attacked and then be accused of being the aggressor as Candace implies. The war would be over this second if HAMAS returned the hostages and surrendered unconditionally. Until then, the war isn’t over. Pretty simple
Regarding free speech. The Daily Wire is a Publication not a social media forum...like X or Truth Social or Facebook. They are under no obligation to publish her words (or anything else for that matter) that they feel conflicts with their values.
Finally, this is Ben Shapiro’s second high profile dust-up with a well-known commentator. Not sure what this means....
Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are forming a Hitler/Hamas wing of Conservatism — and it is quite awful
Was Shapiro’s “feud” with Tucker Carlson not about Israel as well?
Every war would be over in a second if one side surrenders unconfitionally.
True. But that's not what this story is about.
Owens challenged Shapiro to a debate. Shapiro publicly agreed, but privately refused. Then the Daily Wire (which Shapiro runs) got a gag order against Owens, forbidding her from discussing that Shapiro won't debate her despite agreeing to.
The rationale is that Owens's employment contract forbids her from disparaging the DW, and the DW's arbiter ruled that the manner in which Owens challenged Shapiro to a debate was disparaging and thus a violation of her contract.
Her termination is not the issue.
It means that he takes the mantra “Never Again” very seriously.
He doesn’t take anti-semitism lightly.
