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.
