Debunking Candace Owens’ Evil Bulls***
"When we hired Candace Owens in late 2020, early 2021, we had no indicator of the direction that she was going to turn at the time. It is one of my great regrets. I know that it is one of the great regrets for Jeremy Boreing and Caleb Robinson, who are the co-CEOs of the company at the time. I, for one, wanted to fire Candace significantly earlier than she actually was fired."
Ben Shapiro publicly disclosed that hiring Candace Owens was one of his great regrets and that he personally advocated for firing her significantly before she was ultimately dismissed from Daily Wire. He stated that entire swaths of the right criticized Daily Wire for firing Owens, but she has since demonstrated why it was the correct decision through her conspiratorial content.
