The Daily Wire, the right-wing media outlet co-founded by Ben Shapiro, said Friday that it had severed ties with Candace Owens, the far-right commentator who has ignited a torrent of backlash in recent months for her repeated embrace of antisemitic rhetoric.
“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Jeremy Boreing, the chief executive of Daily Wire, said in a statement posted online.
Owens confirmed the news in her own post, writing, “The rumors are true — I am finally free.”

Americans know nothing about real history. Did you know that 12 million Germans were ethnically cleansed after WW2? Did you know half a million of them were murdered for the crime of speaking German? That Children were lined up and shot?
“Well over 2 million women and children were raped at the end of the war. Many of them died or killed themself as a result.”
In Czechoslovakia, they lined German civilians up (many of whom had lived there for centuries), and ran over their legs with trucks. They forced them to dig their own graves. Not all of them were German. Some of them just spoke German.
12 million German civilians were expelled across Eastern Europe—force stripped of their homes and property and citizenry for the crime of speaking German. Hundreds of thousands of them starved to death. This ethnic expulsion was the largest in human history and yet you’ve never heard about it.
Why? I encourage everyone to watch this documentary.
Nothing more terrifying than the idea of being murdered alongside your children for the crime of speaking the wrong language.
That the world’s largest ethnic cleansing took place and the murderers and torturers were granted amnesty should terrify you.
