Controversial podcaster Candace Owens sparked fresh accusations of antisemitism after calling the gruesome medical experiments performed during the Holocaust by notorious Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele “bizarre propaganda.”
Owens — who parted ways with the Daily Wire earlier this year after reportedly feuding with co-founder Ben Shapiro over Israel and antisemitism — launched into her head-scratching Holocaust diatribe during her podcast Tuesday.
“The Nazis experimented on innocent people,” Owens began. “Some of the stories, by the way, sound completely absurd.”

“They just cut a human up and sewed them back together?” she wondered. “Why would you do that?”
Owens went on to say that “literally, even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s tremendous waste of time and supplies.”
“That just sounds like bizarre propaganda,” she concluded.
Owens apparently disregarded the well-documented atrocities conducted by Mengele, the SS physician who earned the moniker the “Angel of Death” for his gruesome experiments on inmates at Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz.
Historians and researchers of the Holocaust have reported that Mengele conducted experiments on twins by amputating their limbs, as well as blood transfusions, forced insemination and injecting them with diseases.

Social media users blasted Owens.
Owens “continues to prove that she is one of the dumbest and most vile human beings on the planet,” one X user wrote.
“I would have never of guessed she had the ability to sink this low,” another commenter posted.
But a source close to the situation told The Post that Owens “never denied that Mengele conducted experiments.”
“This is a misleading edited clip,” the source said.
“In fact, if you listen to the full episode, you will hear that Candace condemned medical experiments.”
