Candace Owens has drawn criticism from right-wing commentators and media personalities after making controversial remarks during a live broadcast on X.
In the broadcast, titled "The Truth About Zionism," Owens suggested that Jews were involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and expressed concerns about the potential consequences of criticising Israel.
Owens questioned why individuals feel compelled to assert their safety when discussing Israel, asking, "Do you think it’s normal that basically, every person that speaks about Israel has to say a statement that ‘you know I don’t want to get killed’?”
Candace Owens broke the internet by claiming that Zionists are not the original Jews but are actually demon worshipers.

She goes on to say that modern-day Israel, founded by the Rothschilds, has become a safe haven for pedophiles.

She also referenced the assassination of JFK, stating, "They shot JFK in an open car, he was a sitting president, so my security doesn’t matter, if they want me they’re gonna get me.” Owens further claimed that such concerns are not "normal" and are uniquely tied to Israel, which she asserted has significant influence over the United States.
What happened to this woman? A few years ago, I hosted her on my show, and she seemed reasonable and composed. https://t.co/CLd1qAN9bS

Despite the backlash, including criticism from Fox News contributor Sarah Carter and pro-Trump influencer Gad Saad, Owens highlighted the 1.6 million views her broadcast received, stating that more "forbidden" conversations are planned.
1.6m views. Truly incredible. Our conversation seems to have ripped a hole through the universe and reduced the establishment to ad hominem attacks.
