Candace Owens launched into a rant on her YouTube show last week claiming that the Star of David is tied to child sacrifice and black magic. She “explained” that King Solomon, builder of the Holy Temple, had a ring that he used to command demons. All of this, she said, shocked her “to the core” but “if it’s on Wikipedia … that just must mean that it’s such an irreversible fact.”This was not the first time Owens based one of her wilder conspiracy theories on the ubiquitous online resource.
