Chris Cuomo: The Daily Wire Stopped Potential Candace Owens vs Ben Shapiro Debate Out of Fear
“The company decided we lose if he goes toe toe-to-toe with Candace Owens. So shut her up and they have the right to do it because of the contract.”

Last month, a social media spat between The Daily Wire co-founders Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing against former employee Candace Owens led to a debate challenge. It hasn’t happened, and NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo feels like he knows why.
While appearing in a podcast interview with Patrick Bet-David, Cuomo argued that The Daily Wire doesn’t want Shapiro to debate against Owens because the company is fearful he will lose.
“The Daily Wire doesn’t believe that Shapiro wins the debate with Candace Owens,” Cuomo said.
“You think they believe that?,” the podcast host asked.
“One hundred percent, otherwise there’s no reason to do it. If this is working for you, you let it go, right? … That’s what Ben Shapiro has been saying. Everybody’s going to understand that Candace Owens has positions that are not just incorrect, but morally wrong in a way that Ben Shapiro says matters,” Chris Cuomo retorted. “He’s not just another corporate guy. It’s not just another company now, but in fact, it is just another company. And the company decided we lose if he goes toe toe-to-toe with Candace Owens. So shut her up and they have the right to do it because of the contract.”
The conversation stemmed from a recent suggestion from Glenn Greenwald that The Daily Wire utilized a clause in Owens’ used an arbitrator to secure a gag order against her, preventing a debate.

Over the weekend, CNN political commentator Alice Stewart died unexpectedly at the age of 58.
Northern Virginia law enforcement officers told the network that Stewart was found outdoors in a neighborhood Saturday morning after suffering an apparent medical event.
“Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN,” network CEO Mark Thompson told staffers in an email. “A political veteran and an Emmy Award-winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN’s coverage, known across our bureaus not only for her political savvy, but for her unwavering kindness. Our hearts are heavy as we mourn such an extraordinary loss.”
Since joining the network in 2016, Stewart had served as a political commentator, claiming her role was to be a “conservative voice yet an independent thinker.” Before her time at the cable network, she worked on campaigns for Republican politicians like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee.
Many of her current and former colleagues took to social media to share tributes honoring her memory after her death was announced.
Unbelievably kind, smart, astute, Alice was beloved by everyone at CNN. I am so sorry for her family. What a loss. https://t.co/u0n3x9NV4F

Heartbroken, shattered, gutted. 💔 Alice was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She was a good friend, a confidant, a shoulder to cry on, and a woman I admired for so many reasons. I can’t believe I won’t get to see her again, there’s no words. We will miss her so much. pic.twitter.com/jmPmjKCrzW

I’m very sad about this news. Alice was kind, decent, hard-working and a woman whose faith sustained her. She was a breath of fresh air -always professional- at a time when lack of decorum and civility reign in political discussions. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/e7qSWjzZOW

Gutted over this news. Alice Stewart was smart, savvy, funny & most importantly kind. She felt like she was from another era – a more decent one where we cd disagree respectfully. She was kind to me when I was in a low place & I’ll never forget it. Sending love to those closest…
