Daily Wire Gets Gag Order Against Candace Owens: REPORT

The Daily Wire reportedly sought out a gag order against their ex-staffer Candace Owens after she called for a debate against Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.

The conservative outlet allegedly attempted to privately receive a gag order as Shapiro and Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing simultaneously argued over when to hold a debate against Owens, according to award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald’s Locals newsletter. The outlet has not announced the gag order publicly.

The Daily Wire accused Owens of violating the non-disparagement clause of her company contract by calling for the debate, and Owens accused Shapiro of violating the confidentiality agreement by criticizing her views publicly, according to Greenwald’s newsletter. The company said the gag order was sought due to the manner in which Owens demanded the debate. They further cited several online criticisms of Boreing and Shapiro that Owens liked on Twitter.
