NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — Conservative commentator Candace Owens sharply criticized Ben Shapiro in a recent podcast episode, responding to his remarks at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference where he condemned her for spreading conspiracy theories.

Owens, in profane language, dismissed Shapiro and referenced historical antisemitic tropes, including claims about the Talmud and Jewish involvement in the Atlantic slave trade. She held up a copy of “Der Talmudjude” (“The Talmud Jew”), an 1871 book by August Rohling, a 19th-century Catholic priest whose work has been widely discredited as relying on mistranslations, selective quotations and fabrications to portray Judaism as hostile toward non-Jews.
Critics, including Jewish organizations and scholars, have described Rohling’s book as a foundational text for antisemitic propaganda, influencing later hate literature despite being debunked in its author’s lifetime.
Owens alleged that the Talmud teaches Jews to hate, exploit or deceive non-Jews, view them as animals or permit their enslavement — claims long rejected by Jewish scholars as distortions of ancient texts.
She also repeated assertions that Jews dominated or bore responsibility for the Atlantic slave trade, a trope criticized by historians as overstated and rooted in antisemitic narratives.
The episode followed Shapiro’s speech at AmericaFest on Dec. 18, where he accused Owens of “vicious attacks” and “hideous” conspiracies, particularly regarding the September assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk. Shapiro, who previously employed Owens at The Daily Wire until their 2024 parting amid tensions over Israel, called for accountability from figures amplifying unsubstantiated claims.
Owens’ podcast, which frequently ranks among the top in news and overall categories on platforms like Spotify and Apple, averages millions of views and downloads per episode, according to analytics reports.
The exchange has highlighted divisions within conservative circles, with some figures defending Owens’ right to question narratives and others condemning the promotion of what they call dangerous stereotypes.
Turning Point USA and representatives for Shapiro and Owens did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Brianless demented Candace has gone full Nazi, her whole conservative conversion was all a hoax to make money form conservatives, she is now just another Jews hating Hamas Nazi supporting leftist pos.
Its not only about Ben Schapiro. Her vile antisemitic rant is against all Jews.
She speaks as if she is alligned with TP USA yet Erika Kirk speaks out against Crazy Candace.
Its important to call her out, she incites antisemitism.
She must be a reincarnation of a galach in Europe who would get up in town square and preach against the Jews and their Talmud…
Dreyfus 2.0
In their “bible” (not Talmud) it teaches Xtians to hate, exploit or deceive non-Jews, view them as animals or permit their enslavement
It also is well known Xtians dominated or bore responsibility for the Atlantic slave trade, a fact well documented by historians and rooted in factual narratives.
It says there are 40 comments, but there are only 30, yes that’s how much VIN censers.
This is a lesson to all jews who used to love her, you missed her obvious issues when she was not a public raging antisemite. We must understand how to see through trash on the right much better because many jews listened to her and.were influenced by her until she started to reveal her true self. She always hated truth even when pretending to be pro jewish under shapiro prager horowitz. I saw one long clip of her and pegged her for liar years ago. We must know that the enemy of our enemy is not our friend. That she grew into the leading peddler of lies was not predictable years ago but the roots were there and noticeable. (This is also true for carlson even on fox) many jews listened to her and unfortunately we’re influenced by her and likely a still are because 5 years of propaganda do not disappear when the propagandist turns against you. They adopted her values and beliefs to one extent or another and once adopted hard to separate what came from her. We (jews who know the left are evil liars) are better of listening to leftwing propaganda where we know every word is likely trash.
She is a hater in her heart, She is not interested in TRUTH
She’s a moron.
I guess that NDA they signed after they parted ways, is in the trash with all this trash-talk.
Thw only black slave the jews owned is candese owens and she waS never freed.my granfather still has the legal papers that she is his runway slave.lol
Lots of blind MAGA zombies in these comments coping over their inability to smell this from a mile away. We warned you.
Owens was a great MAGA hero, bringing Blacks in. Now like so many MAGA cultists, we see their Jew-hating souls. And Trump is completely quiet on her!
She and Whoopi Goldberg attended the same maidel school with Madonna.
LOL – THIS Is what you voted for. ALL of maga is like this, she is just the first of many snakes to show their ugly heads
It was very stubid of Art Scroll to print Gemorahs with english translations. Everyone can know whom they mean when they use the term ‘idol worshippers’. There nothing better then Shtikah.
You all are making a huge mistake. She is right about 99% of what she says and you are just focusing on the few things that she takes to far. And if she hates Jews it’s Israel’s fault for making Israeli and Jews the same thing. Either way they all hate Jews and you need to stop acting surprised and outraged. All conservatives hate Jews. The only ones who support Israel want a Jewish state because they think JC will come back and kill out the rest of them so they can take over the land.
you guys are either dumb or evil. It is clear that the Isreal direction has gone rouge … it is not anti semetic to call out bad actions
