Owens is communications director of the right-wing organization Turning Point USA, which has a long history of racism and antisemitism. The group's former national field director once sent a racist text message in which she wrote, "I hate black people."
The group is funded in part by the Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation, a pro-Israel group that promotes Jewish identity, as well as by Andrew Borans, CEO of the Jewish Alpha Epsilon Pi Foundation fraternity.
