    Owens is a lot of things, but an antisemite is not one of them.

      Meanwhile, Owens began to use her Daily Wire platform to promote antisemitism — claiming this month on her show that “secret Jewish gangs” terrorize Hollywood — and recently favorited a tweet repeating a lie about Jews drinking Christians’ blood.

      Bud that’s like antisemitism 101. In case you didn’t know, Jews don’t drink blood or control the world through a secret cabal.

      Just because someone makes anti-Israel or anti-Zionism commentary doesn’t mean they aren’t also anti-Semitic.

        Good points, I was unaware of both of those controversies. I honestly expected to have seen something as serious as this pop up in my news feeds, but I generally try to avoid hearing about drama around right-wing propagandists.
