Candace Amber Owens Farmer (née Owens; born April 29, 1989) is an American conservative political commentator, author, activist, and television presenter.[2][3]
Owens has been recognized for her pro-Trump activism despite being initially critical of the former president of the United States Donald Trump and the Republican Party.[4] She is known for her criticism of Black Lives Matter.[5][6][7] Owens served as the communications director for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA between 2017 and 2019.[8] In 2018, Owens co-founded Blexit along with former Tucson police officer Brandon Tatum.[9][10][11] In 2021, Owens joined The Daily Wire and began hosting Candace, a political talk show.[12] She was dismissed in March 2024 following a series of comments perceived as antisemitic and months of tensions with co-host Ben Shapiro and other Daily Wire staff over their differing views on the Israel-Hamas war.[13]
Described as "the new face of black conservatism" by The Washington Post,[14] Owens has expressed skepticism about the extent of white supremacy's impact on society and has voiced opposition to both COVID-19 lockdowns and COVID-19 vaccines. She has promoted numerous conspiracy theories.
