Candace Owens Goes Full Nutjob: Backs Tucker's Chabad Conspiracy, Claims 'Jews Tried to Murder Me' in Unhinged Rant
"Calculated evil": Candace Owens joins Tucker Carlson in a "clown-level" attack on Chabad-Lubavitch, peddling victimhood fantasies and "conspiratorial nonsense."
Far-right grifter Candace Owens has sunk to new lows of deranged antisemitism, leaping to defend Tucker Carlson's wild Chabad-Lubavitch conspiracy theories while peddling her own victimhood fantasy that "Jews tried to have me murdered." In a March 5 X post that's already ignited a firestorm of outrage, Owens declared, "Tucker is telling the truth about the Chabad Lubavitch. Read the book 'Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition'. Also be reminded that when I discussed the Chabad on Piers Morgan, Jews tried to have me murdered."
This latest bile comes amid Carlson's March 4 monologue accusing Chabad – the beloved Jewish outreach movement known for spreading kindness, education, and holiday cheer worldwide – of masterminding a "holy war" against Iran to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and rebuild the Third Temple. Owens, ever the opportunist, amplified the smear by recommending David Bakan's 1958 book, which explores how Freud's Jewish heritage and Kabbalistic influences shaped psychoanalysis, hardly the smoking gun for a Chabad plot, but in Owens' twisted mind, it's "proof."
The book, far from exposing any "supremacism," argues Freud secularized Jewish mysticism, but facts never stopped Owens from weaponizing them against Jews.
Her "murder" claim? A grotesque exaggeration of a 2024 incident where one disturbed individual, Haim Braverman from New Jersey, was arrested for online death threats after Owens slandered the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, on Piers Morgan's show. Calling the Rebbe a "Jewish supremacist" who "hated non-Jews," Owens sparked backlash – but only Braverman crossed into criminality, pleading guilty to interstate threats.
To paint this as a Jewish plot? Pure blood libel, inflating one nutcase into collective guilt, a classic antisemitic trope Owens peddles for clicks and clout.
X erupted in condemnation: "Candace Owens meltdown on Chabad Lubavitch? Clown-level idiocy exposed," blasted ShadowPatriotUS, debunking her smears as "conspiratorial nonsense."
Frum TikTok highlighted her past attacks on the Rebbe as "disgraceful," while TaliGoldshef linked her to other anti-Zionist bigots. Even fellow far-righters like (@lepke2112 )called it "pathetic," accusing her and Carlson of "Jew-baiting" for grift.
Owens' history is a cesspool of hate: From Holocaust denial to accusing Israel of assassinating Charlie Kirk, she's built a brand on bashing Jews.
Chabad, meanwhile, embodies Jewish values of love and outreach, the antithesis of Owens' venom. As Operation Epic Fury rages, her timing stinks of exploiting tensions to fan flames.
