The ongoing feud between conservative pundit Steven Crowder and The Daily Wire has reached a new level after host Candace Owens alluded to Crowder having some unpublicized issues.
After publicly declining a purported $50 million offer from the conservative digital outlet, Crowder has clashed with the company’s Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing, founder Ben Shapiro, and host Owens for his conduct in rejecting the offer. Monday, Owens insinuated Crowder has some skeletons in his closet that he’s hiding.
“Over the weekend, I was given a lot more information regarding Steven Crowder regarding what could have possibly led to this moment,” Owens said.
“Obviously, this really doesn’t have anything to do with The Daily Wire, and his actions are a symptom of something much larger. And I want to choose my words very carefully here because I’m not angry anymore. Steven has a lot going on, I guess is the best way to say it. He has a lot going on, and that should be clear because people don’t do stuff like this.”
Owens continued by saying Crowder is acting “out of desperation”, before saying “I now am more aware of certain information rather than being angry, I would like to implore my audience and everybody that isn’t paying attention in this situation not to condemn him, but to pray for him.”
She later said she was “certain” that “more information will come out” about Crowder “in the near future”. She claimed it wasn’t her place to say more on the matter, but seemingly threatened to release more information should Crowder’s current conduct continue.
On Tuesday, Owens continued to discuss Crowder, comparing his conduct to that of a “socialist”, before saying an apology was warranted.
“And I think that I would hope that you would come to terms with the fact that you owe everybody an apology. That this was never necessary and that you can start whatever company you want.”
