Candace Owens has broken her silence following her departure from the Daily Wire, with revelations hinting at deeper rifts within the conservative media landscape. In a bold statement on X, she declared, “The rumors are true— I am finally free.” Owens wasted no time in signaling her next moves, urging followers to subscribe to her own program as she promised “many announcements in the weeks to come.” “The rumors are true— I am finally free.”

In her farewell show for the Daily Wire, Owens hinted at significant changes on the horizon, starting with her upcoming trip to Israel. She pledged to report “what it is that I actually see” amidst the nation’s conflict with Hamas. “I am team God… I do not fear the media, I do not fear [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee].”

Owens made it clear where her loyalties lie, asserting her stance on accountability and truth. “I think that one day we are all going to account for the things that we have done and things that we have said,” she stated, refusing to succumb to the pressures of conformity. “Fear of losing your job, of encouraging people to spit out lies? I don’t think that works in the end.”

Shapiro, a devout Jew, reportedly clashed with Owens over her critiques of Jewish leaders, accusing them of racial supremacy. Reflecting on a recent interview with a prominent rabbi, Owens expressed relief at his candid admission about racial hierarchies.

“I think he views himself as better… or at least his race as more important, more significant, the history of his race as more significant… If you are honestly a supremacist, at least I can appreciate that.”

The growing chasm between Owens and Shapiro highlights divisions within conservatism, particularly regarding America’s stance on Israel. Owens’ vocal objections to Israel’s military actions have drawn support from controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, while eliciting condemnation from groups like the Anti-Defamation League. Meanwhile, Shapiro remains staunch in his support for Israel’s right to self-defense, underscoring the ideological schism within the movement.
