Candace Owens Accuses ‘Political Jews’ of Fueling Anti-Semitism: ‘Vile, Dishonest, Manipulative People’

Controversial Daily Wire host Candace Owens dropped a lengthy screed on Instagram on Wednesday, in which she blasted America’s support for Israel and accused “political Jews” of creating anti-Semitism.

Owens shared a post from fellow Daily Wire host Matt Walsh raging against foreign aid and began her rant by writing, “Further to that point I would like to say this.”

“I grew up in a town that had a large Jewish community. For whatever reason my best friends throughout my childhood and early adulthood were always Jewish,” Owen began before discussing her connections to the Jewish community, having nannied for a Jewish family in Manhattan and working for two Jewish men at a private equity fund.

“So why am I telling you this?” she then asked and wrote:

Never once in all of those years, ever, did I hear ANY of those people accuse others of being antisemitic or a “Jew Hater”.

That all changed when I got into politics and met what I would describe as political Jews-who operate almost exactly like Black Lives Matter.

These people-regarding which they are a small, fringe faction, are some of those most vile, dishonest, manipulative people that I have ever met. Under the guise of fighting antisemitism, they actually create it.

Notably, accusing Jews of fueling anti-Semitism is a classic anti-Semitic trope. Owens and Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro have feuded in the past over Israel and Owens defending Kanye West’s anti-Semitic tirades. Owens has a long history of controversial and outlandish rhetoric including saying Adolf Hitler’s “nationalism” inside Germany was “fine” and that parents who take their kids to drag queen story hour should have them “taken away.”

“Just as Black Lives Matter radicals would threaten and intimidate white people’s lives by constantly smearing and libeling people into submission, these radicals do the same,” Owens continued.

“BLM ultimately hurt the black community. The Jewish fringe are hurting the Jewish community by misrepresenting who they are,” she continued, before turning to Israel:

My political philosophy has always been that we should not be using taxpayer dollars to support foreigners. I am therefore against the welfare programs for illegal immigrants. I’m against illegal immigration as a whole as it burdens taxpayers. I was against sending money to Afghanistan and Ukraine and therefore I am, of course, against sending a single dime to Israel.

“America is a country that is trillions dollars in debt. Why on earth are we sending money to a nation that has less debt than us?” she continued, adding: “This is common economic sense. Not antisemitism.”

“Ultimately what this particular fringe group of radical jewish [sic] people are, are thugs and marxists. They want power, and they are willing to harm their Jewish peers to get it,” Owens continued, adding:

Have the courage to call these people out.
To my jewish friends: you are not a monolith. You do not have to support their Marxism or believe their nasty lies.

Owens ended by saying she hopes all the Israeli hostages are “found” and that “I also cry and mourn for the little children in Palestine who are growing up with the threat of bombs dropped on them every day.”
