Candace Owens and the Specter of Rightwing Anti-Semitism
The making of a troll.
Last week, the Daily Wire, a popular rightwing website, fired the provocateur and YouTuber Candace Owens after she liked a social-media post describing a rabbi as “drunk on Christian blood.” Her firing is no doubt the result of her yearslong descent into anti-Semitism, which has been accompanied by her endorsing of outlandish conspiracy theories about vaccines, Ukraine’s Jewish president Volodymyr Zelensky, and the like.
