Candace Owens fired from Daily Wire for allegedly promoting anti-Semitism

Candace Owens was fired as an anchor at the Daily Wire because her bosses were fed up with what they saw as her repeated promotion of anti-Semitism… TMZ has learned from this.

The conservative media company announced Friday morning that it was parting ways with Candace, and while no official reason was given … sources with direct knowledge tell us it was squarely about what the Daily Wire honchos saw as anti-Semitism, and that the resignation was requested was shot. this week.

Candace and fellow Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro have recently had a very public feud on social media over their opposing views on the Israel-Gaza conflict – and we're told the final straw for the DW was her March 8 appearance on the 'Fresh and Fit' podcast.

The hosts spoke to Candace about the breakup with Ben, and every time Ben or his wife — who is Israeli — was mentioned, the show played a chagrining sound effect, an obvious nod to the anti-Semitic trope about Jews and money.

While Candace didn't say anything to bash Ben, we're told she felt like she didn't say anything to defend him or denounce anti-Semitism. To be honest, it's unclear if she heard that sound effect while recording the podcast.

We're told Daily Wire executives had previous conversations with Candace in an attempt to understand her position — because they didn't want to censor her — but they felt the podcast incident went too far.

As one well-known source put it, Candace often bragged about being one of the best communicators in the media, so DW executives felt like “she knew what she was doing.”

We're also told that Shapiro was not involved in the decision to fire Candace, and that he has no power to do so.

Candace talked about her feud with Ben when she was about “The Breakfast Club” On Thursday she said she wasn't anti-Israel or anti-Semitic… she's simply against all forms of genocide. A source connected to Candace emphasizes the same, telling us, “She's clearly not an anti-Semite.”
