During a recent episode of the “Flagrant” podcast, comedian Andrew Schulz called out The Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro for defending censorship of employees at the company following the firing of Candace Owens.
Owens was apparently let go for her criticism of Israel’s obliteration of Gaza.
Schulz exposed Shapiro’s poor excuse for terminating Owens as hypocritical since the outlet claims to champion free speech.

“You can’t criticize Israel as a country? That’s just another country, unless you’re saying and you’re clearly admitting the Daily Wire is an arm of the Israeli media or propaganda machine?” he asked.
“Are you manipulating the religious right in America?

And then, in the process restricting free speech – one of the core tenants of the American identity?”
