why did candace owens leave daily wire

Candace Owens left The Daily Wire amid public and escalating tensions with its co-founder Ben Shapiro, largely centered on controversies around her statements and views on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Owens, who joined The Daily Wire in 2021, had increasingly criticized Israel's actions in Gaza and shared remarks that were widely regarded as antisemitic. This led to a highly publicized and personal feud with Shapiro, who condemned her comments as disgraceful. The exact reasons for her departure were not formally disclosed, but the split seemed to stem from ideological and personal clashes, particularly over Owens' refusal to align with The Daily Wire's stance on Israel and accusations of spreading conspiracy theories and antisemitism. Owens confirmed her departure on social media, expressing a sense of liberation and indicating plans for new announcements. The Daily Wire's co- founder Jeremy Boreing publicly announced the end of their relationship without further details.
