Candace Owens, a conservative commentator, has faced criticism and backlash from various individuals and organizations. She has been accused of focusing on self-promotion rather than meaningful activism and defense of American values. The David Horowitz Freedom Center, which initially supported her, has expressed profound disappointment and cut ties with her over her alleged shift in focus and stance on Israel. This has led to her being labeled as 'ignorant' and 'hateful' by the conservative organization. The situation has sparked a heated debate about Owens' actions and the impact on her career and reputation.
