Candace Owens today tweeted that she really wanted to debate Ben Shapiro on the subject of Israel and the real meaning antisemitism and asked if someone could make that happen:
I would like to debate Ben Shapiro on Israel and the *current* definition of antisemitism.
Can somebody make that happen? https://t.co/237rKKIkoD

Shapiro quickly responded with a time and a place:
“Sure, Candace. I texted you on February 29th offering this very thing. Let’s do it on my show this Monday at 5pm at our studios in Nashville; 90 minutes, live-streamed.”

So it’s on. We’ll see if Candace shows up for the live stream debate.
[UPDATE]
Candace is already throwing a wrench in the debate plans and is wanting to move it to some anti-Semitic ‘neutral’ location:
I’m sure you can appreciate why I’d prefer to keep this off the Daily Wire platform— as well as the true reason why we were never able to make any discussion happen.
Let’s choose a neutral, trustworthy platform.

But Ben says no and insists on the Daily Wire:
Candace, I can see why you’d want to hide behind a moderator — particularly one who said we should rename our company the “Daily Jewish Wire” just yesterday.
No.
One on one. Monday at 5 PM. We can sit down and have a healthy debate like adults, and we’ll live-stream it on X and YouTube. Take it or leave it.
As to the “true reason” you didn’t respond to my offer to sit down with you and discuss these issues publicly or privately back in February, I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.
