Rabbi Shmuley Boteach dresses as a 'Candace Owens Jew' for Purim and pretends ... trends now
Author and radio host Rabbi Shmuley Boteach continued his feud with former Daily Wire commentator Candace Owens, posting a video of himself on Purim dressed as a 'Candace Owens Jew.'
Owens and The Daily Wire have parted ways after weeks of tension with the outlet's co-founder Ben Shapiro over the Israel-Hamas war and her promotion of various conspiracy theories.
Part of the lead-up to their uncoupling included a very public feud between Owens and Rabbi Shmuley, who has been accusing the pundit of anti-Semitism dating back to her associations with and defense of Kanye West in 2022.
On Saturday, on the occasion of the Jewish holiday Purim, he posted multiple videos to X of himself in a costume of exaggerated, anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jewish people, describing himself as a 'Candace Owens Jew.'
'For Purim I've dressed up as a Candace Owens Jew (or is it just dress up? Or are we Jews deep down always like this… filth, Money, drunk on Christian blood.. and … dual loyalties for Israel),' he wrote.

The reference to Christian blood emanates from a tweet that Owens liked last week that accused Rabbi Shmuley of being 'drunk on Christian blood.'
'I felt that since Candace got fired on Friday, I may as well try and bring her some Purim cheer by validating all her views about Jews, at least for one day,' he added.
He is also holding a small child in the video, writing: 'This is not a Christian child, this is a Jewish child.'
Rabbi Shmuley then again referenced Candace's previous liking of a post about Christian blood.
'But if it would be, I've got my 'Christian blood,' he continued as he pretended to sip a drink of 'Christian blood' from a red drink container. 'Mmm, spicy, delicious. I've got my Jewish nose. I have 'filth,' he said, noting that the word was written across his forehead.
'Purim is a day when our enemies fall, my brothers and sisters,' he finished.
'If this is the way they want us to look, I'll do it for one night. I'll indulge them.'
Candace publicly responded to the video by quote-tweeting a reply to fellow right-wing commentator Alex Jones, who accused Rabbi Shmuley of 'having a nervous breakdown.'
