Ben Shapiro, the co-founder of the Daily Wire, replied to a cryptic tweet from employee Candace Owens on Wednesday evening imploring her to "by all means quit" if she feels her work at the Daily Wire "comes between" her and God — as she seemed to imply. The feud escalated from there as Owens quickly shot back and told Shapiro, "You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now."

Shapiro's back and forth with Owens is the latest round in an ongoing spat between the two popular hard right podcast hosts. On Tuesday, a clip of Shapiro calling Owen's "disgraceful" for her recent comments on the Israel-Hamas war went viral in conservative circles.

In the clip, Shapiro responds to a question about Owens and says, "I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous." He went on to call her commentary on Israel, which was riddled with errors, "disreputable."

Hours later Owens posted a cryptic message to Twitter, writing, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake," Owens added, quoting Matthew 5:9.
