Candace Owens, a prominent conservative commentator, has once again found herself at the center of a social media firestorm. In a recent Twitter exchange, Owens questioned the trustworthiness of Javier Milei, Argentina’s newly elected president, citing his blue eyes as a cause for concern. Her remarks have sparked widespread debate and criticism, with many questioning the underlying implications of her statements.
Candace Owens’ Shocking Accusations Against Israel—What She Said Will Stun You Video:
Owens tweeted a video announcing, “I don’t trust anything that crawls out of Argentina with blue eyes. There’s a reason for that… because after WWII a lot of Argentinians suddenly had blue eyes.” The statement alludes to the well-documented migration of Nazi war criminals to Argentina after World War II, a dark chapter in history that has left a lasting impact on the country’s demographics.
However, Owens did not stop there. In the same Twitter thread, she delved into more controversial territory, claiming that Zionists are not the original Jews but are instead demon worshipers. According to Owens, modern-day Israel, founded by the Rothschilds, has become a “safe haven for pedophiles.” These remarks have led to accusations of antisemitism, with many pointing to her comments as an example of dangerous conspiracy theories gaining traction in certain circles.

The backlash was swift, with numerous social media users and public figures condemning Owens for her inflammatory statements. Her comments about Milei were widely seen as xenophobic, while her remarks on Israel and Zionism were denounced as antisemitic. Despite the criticism, Owens has remained unapologetic, doubling down on her assertions and dismissing her detractors as uninformed.
In the midst of this controversy, Owens’ father-in-law, George Farmer Sr., a staunch supporter of Israel and a respected figure in conservative circles, publicly distanced himself from her comments. In an interview with the New York Post, Farmer stated, “Candace’s views on Israel do not reflect my own, nor do they align with the principles of Zionism that I hold dear. Israel is a sovereign nation with a right to defend itself, and any insinuation otherwise is both dangerous and misguided.”
“The best man at my wedding and life-long friend was Jewish,” Farmer wrote, adding that he valued the “kindness and thoughtfulness from Jewish friends … at a time when I had few close relationships.”
Farmer, a member of the House of Lords, which is the upper chamber of the UK parliament, went on to praise Israel as a “rare example of a democracy in the Middle East.”
“Of course, it has the right to defend its citizens when murderously attacked on its soil in one of the cruelest and most callous pogroms in history,” Farmer wrote, referencing the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas which left nearly 1,200 Israeli soldiers and civilians dead and scores more in Hamas captivity.
“We cannot forget the large number of innocent hostages that were taken,” Farmer wrote, noting that “many have died, and some are still missing.”
“Israel faces an existential threat as Hamas, the terrorist organization, has stated their intention to destroy it,” he added.
Farmer’s defense of Israel highlights a significant rift within the conservative movement, where differing views on Israel and Zionism have increasingly come to the fore. While some conservatives, like Owens, have adopted more extreme positions, others, like Farmer, continue to uphold traditional support for Israel as a key ally in the Middle East.
Israel is a rare example of a democracy in the Middle East, a liberal state governed by the rule of law. Of course, it has the right to defend its citizens when murderously attacked on its soil in one of the cruellest and most callous pogroms in history.

Owens’ comments have also reignited discussions about the influence of conspiracy theories within certain segments of the conservative movement. Her claims about Zionists and Israel echo long-standing antisemitic tropes that have been debunked repeatedly but continue to resurface in various forms. These narratives not only undermine the legitimacy of Israel but also contribute to the spread of misinformation and hatred.
Owens’ statements represent a troubling departure from the values that have traditionally defined the movement. While robust debate and differing opinions are essential to a healthy democracy, the propagation of conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric should have no place in conservative discourse. It is incumbent upon conservatives to reject such views and reaffirm their commitment to truth, reason, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background or beliefs.
As the debate continues to unfold, it is clear that Candace Owens’ latest remarks have struck a nerve. Her willingness to push the boundaries of acceptable discourse has made her a polarizing figure, admired by some for her boldness and criticized by others for her recklessness. Regardless of where one stands on the issues she raises, it is undeniable that Owens has once again demonstrated her ability to provoke—and perhaps that is precisely her intent.
Candace Owens said she doesn’t trust Javier Milei because he has “Blue Eyes.”
