Owens said that she reached out to Rabbi Bashevkin after she discussed the Jewish historical topics of Sabbateanism and Frankism on her show, and he posted about her comments but apparently did not fully understand her point, so she messaged him privately to clarify.
She added that they had a “wonderful discussion” and “wonderful back and forth” on the topic with the “Jewish PhD professor and writer”. She emphasized that Judaism and Christianity should unite to fight Satanic enemies.
I deleted my og tweet of @RealCandaceO giving Jewish PhD prof/writer @DBashIdeas because I put on the 18Forty logo when I shouldn’t have
Could have been my big Twitter moment 🥲 the sacrifices we make (not Christian children!) to not normalize antisemites
Enjoy it here tho 🙂 pic.twitter.com/en54OyMJvn

Rabbi Bashevkin addressed the shoutout on Twitter, saying:
“Yes I heard the shoutout from @RealCandaceO She did in fact DM me—I don’t share DM’s ever. We didn’t discuss Leo Frank—he had nothing to do with Frankism as far as I know. We discussed Frankism and how the rabbinic fight against Sabbateanism actually brought Jews and Christians together.I’m not sure why she seems to be conflating the two. I don’t know so much about the Leo Frank case though.”
I’m not sure why she seems to be conflating the two.
I don’t know so much about the Leo Frank case though.

Many Jewish Twitter users observed that Owens butchered the pronunciation of the Rabbi’s name, and Owens joked about this on Twitter in a reply to Rabbi Bashevkin.
I tried so hard on the pronunciation- lol. Better luck next time.

At one point in the thread, Owens apologized for sharing their private messages, and told him she would ask permission in the future, to which Rabbi Bashevkin said that he did not mind, even though he personally opted not to share DM’s.
I shared it for a brief second to show that we had a friendly back/forth. I didn’t think you’d mind since it was nothing controversial. In the future, I will certainly ask permission. Apologies!

Owens has a long history of spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories, as we have reported on VIN News frequently. In addition, she has used the tragic Leo Frank story in the past as a means to discredit the ADL
Leo Frank was framed for a murder he did not commit, and then he was lynched. Look it up. She is a vicious liar.
there is a reason psych meds are available and useful.
unfortunately there has been a shortage of some of them
that can account for this denial of reality
She is obsessed with a case over 100 years old in which Frank was the victim, even if he might have been guilty. The Southern racists put aside their hate for Blacks and believed the inconsistent testimony of the janitor over the circumstantial evidence implicating him. And until this day, Candice- even while trying to be conciliatory- tries to use Bashevkin to vindicate her feelings towards a 125-year-old accusation.
Why didn’t he use that opportunity to blast her blatant antisemitic comments?
I hope Bashevkin showered and went to the mikveh after talking to this choleria.
I would block Candace Owens were she to contact me.
She mixed up Jacob Frank and Leo Frank
She’s still a Shaygitz..
She has a point though, why were so
many Jews some of the strongest communist enforcers?
From Wikipedia.
In modern times, despite strong evidence pointing to Frank’s innocence, the case has become a modern focal point for neo-Nazis and anti-Semites. This is partly because it led to the creation of the Anti-Defamation League but also because it fed into anti-semitic conspiracy theories claiming Jewish control of the media. As a consequence, in recent years a number of websites have been established by white supremacists disputing the prevailing consensus of Frank’s innocence.[247] On the centenary of the trial, the Anti-Defamation League issued a press release condemning what it called “misleading websites” from “anti-Semites … to promote anti-Jewish views”.[248]
