While many are slamming Owens for her post, some are claiming she is being sarcastic.

"Like IDK if she for real or not... and that's the scary part.
She’s clearly being sarcastic. The amount of ignorance in the comment section is alarming," penned another.

Why did RFK Jr slam Candace Owens?
Reportedly, Candace Owens has previously talked against the Jewish community. According to the Times Of India, Owens also developed a theory in which she claimed Israel was involved in the 9/11 attack.
Reacting to one of her comments, RFK Jr slammed Owens for her alleged anti-Jewish comments. A few months back, he took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle and penned,
"During her interview on @PiersMorgan Candace Owen @RealCandaceO referred to what she termed 'radical Judaism' and characterized the iconic Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, as someone who 'preached Jewish supremacism and hatred of all non-Jews.'"
"These words are a sickening and manifestly inaccurate description of a revered holy man who was respected and beloved by people of all faiths," he continued.
RFK Jr. then revealed how Rabbi Schneerson "preached" a message of respect and humanity. He continued,
"My father considered him a spiritual mentor and sought his advice on diverse issues of morality and ethics. He once visited the Rebbe at 2 o’clock in the morning! As Americans, we need to distance ourselves from the troubling rise in antisemitism. We need unity in our country, not divisiveness. That's what Rabbi Schneerson stood for."
Candace Owens supported Donald Trump against Kamala Harris throughout the elections. She also called out Hollywood stars who supported Harris in a tweet after Trump's big win.
