Candace Owens needs a new grift, because she & her British husband had to sell their Twitter knock-off at a discount after Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) imploded. Per Variety:
Parler, the self-described “uncancelable free-speech social platform” that catered to right-wing users — which was nearly acquired by Kanye West last year — has been shut down by its new owner.
“No reasonable person believes that a Twitter clone just for conservatives is a viable business any more,” Arlington, Va.-based digital media company Starboard said in announcing Friday that it had acquired Parler. The terms of the deal are not being disclosed; Starboard said it expects the deal to be accretive by the end of the second quarter of 2023…
In October 2022, Kanye “Ye” West and Parler had announced a provisional agreement for the music artist and entrepreneur to buy Parler. West appeared to be motivated to buy Parler after he was temporarily suspended from Twitter and Instagram over antisemitic posts. In December, Parler announced that the deal had been called off by mutual agreement. That came shortly after West appeared on Alex Jones’ Infowars show, where among other things West expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler. West had already been met with a major backlash over his antisemitic statements, including Adidas canceling its sneaker deal with him.
As Kanye West's far-right lieutenants turn on each other in an increasingly bitter feud, the pro-Hitler rapper has lost interest in his supposed presidential bid, telling one employee: "I just want to be left alone." https://t.co/CStblG99KN

Owens’ old running buddies in the Ye campaign aren’t doing too well right now, either…
