Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro suggested Wednesday that his colleague Candace Owens should resign from the outlet after she replied to his criticism by quoting Jesus Christ.
Owens took to X on Tuesday to quote the Gospel of Matthew, including portions of the Sermon on the Mount when Jesus promised blessing for peacemakers and those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness.
“No one can serve two masters,” she also wrote, quoting a different portion of Jesus’ words in the same Gospel. “Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
“Christ is King,” Owens appended in a subsequent tweet.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
