Back in November, the David Horowitz Freedom Center made the decision to dump Candace Owens.

In our article, Goodbye Candace, we pointed out that we “honored her with an Annie Taylor Award for Courage in 2018, and hosted her at multiple events. That’s why we are so disappointed in what she has become.”

“Back then she laid out an ambitious plan to ‘move the black vote 20 points by 2020’. It’s not clear what happened to that. Instead of liberating the black community, Candace began giving platforms to anti-Israel voices like Andrew Tate, a Muslim convert who said that “’ISIS are the real Muslims because ISIS do exactly what the book says.’”

What happened is that Candace became fantastically wealthy as a social media influencer.

Rather than being a serious conservative activist, Candace Owens spent all her time chasing clicks and clout, doing whatever would get her attention and lashing out at even the slightest criticism.

Now after burning through every ounce of goodwill, the Daily Wire parted ways with Candace, freeing her to build her own brand. While her descent into antisemitism got a lot of the headlines, the real story is that she had spent the past months pushing every kind of ugly and crazy agenda to get attention.

There’s little conservative or moral about anything Candace Owens preaches anymore. Apart from some generic Joe Rogan style ‘anti-wokeness’, it’s a grab bag of stuff meant to appeal to the worst people on social media.

Why? Because it pays.

Someone asked me what Candace will do next? Make more videos. If people stop paying attention, she’ll make even crazier and uglier videos.

When the antisemitism clicks die out, she’ll go do something else ugly.

Social media is a machine for making narcissistic, perpetually unhappy, monsters like this, who exist only as attention vampires.

When you pay attention to AOC or Candace Owens, who became her, they win.
