It appears there’s trouble at The Daily Wire between Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens, and the feud has spilled over to social media.
The source of the conflict appears to stem from Shapiro calling Owens “disgraceful” for her comments on the Israel-Palestine issue.
Paul Joseph Watson discussed Shapiro’s comments in this video:
The conflict spilled onto X Wednesday evening.
Owens posted Tuesday:
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money

“Christ is King,” she added in a follow up post.

Shapiro responded to her post Wednesday.
“Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow comes between you and God, by all means quit,” he wrote.

“You are utterly out of line for suggesting that I cannot quote biblical scripture. The Bible is not about you,” Owens responded.
“Christ is King,” she said in a follow up message.
✝️ Christ is King.

“You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now. And we have all had to sit back and allow it and have all tried to exercise exceeding understanding for your raw emotion. But you cross a certain line when you come for scripture and read yourself into it. I will not tolerate it,” Owens wrote.

“I am genuinely confused why asking questions and quoting Bible verses about peace warrants a call to resign from Dailywire. There should be more room in the conservative movement for disagreement. We can do better than this,” Charlie Kirk wrote.

Shapiro has received the brunt of the criticism for his comments.
Ben Shapiro got triggered by @RealCandaceO quoting The Bible
OMG 😆

I will follow Candace if she leaves and drop The Daily Wire so fast.
Ben, you've made it extremely clear that you will criticize anyone who isn't unquestionably pro-Israel and Israel First.
Christ is King, btw.

Can she? Does she have a non compete or some other whacky contract like the one you offered Crowder? @scrowder what did that contract say about quitting?
— Cassandra MacDonald (@CassandraRules) November 15, 2023
Ben Shapiro is acting like a child here instead of dealing with Candace Owens professionally and in private.
This is a very bad look for Ben regardless of how you feel about the spat between the two Daily Wire employees.
Grow up Ben.

Must be too expensive to fire her, would require paying out all or some of the contract. Anyway chill out man. You’ve been wrong about most everything from Trump in 2016 to the Covid vaccine to the middle eastern wars you supported. If anyone needs to pray for humility, it’s you.

Imagine getting ratioed by your own employee on your own post? 😂😂😂

Ben Shapiro was wrong about the vaccine & avoided accountability by acting “stunned” that Pfizer & the government can lie.
Candace got it right. Ben sucks. https://t.co/IUVQATkBNR

I think we can all agree @benshapiro has become the most insufferable
Anti-intellectual, emotional pr*ck the last few weeks
His “facts don’t care about feelings” schtick is permanently over
Dude is attacking his own employee for quoting the Bible too
Immature & Unhinged https://t.co/5kctUnAnK3

Come on guys, give Ben the benefit of the doubt, its not like he has ever been on the wrong side of issues before or anything… https://t.co/wZDHoX82D7 pic.twitter.com/sOgM1jmIpP

Very publicly telling an employee to quit in order to avoid paying out her contract is almost certainly constructive termination.
If Candace’s conditions at work change, it will be an easy win for her.
Either fire her formally, or recognize people disagree, like an adult. https://t.co/TOo7QSNVut

Remember, this is the guy who told you NOT to vote for Donald Trump & to get vaccinated https://t.co/5RgUTCiiix

.@RealCandaceO cites the New Testament and @benshapiro can't fire her w/o revealing what a total fraud he is, so he invites her to quit. Crossing some red lines, like quoting Jesus in the context of Israel, simply can't be tolerated. https://t.co/JhPEbNRgMg

Look how triggered he is over scripture 😂 and then somehow makes it about himself.
Watch out Ben, you’re supremacy is showing https://t.co/HKQ3KYys4N

She quoted a Bible verse, he makes it about him, and tells her to quit.
He talks about his religion all the time for the record. Seems like a hostile work environment to me. https://t.co/datJQNziT2

EDITOR’S NOTE: DailyNoah is TEAM CANDACE and I expect she will soon leave war-mongering Ben Shapiro and join Tucker’s new media company.
Candace is right.
Shapiro has really exposed himself as a war honk in all this. It’s disgusting. Ben losing so much credibility. Candace is based. https://t.co/urBXpp7hjh
