Owen Benjamin (born Owen Benjamin Smith; May 24, 1980) is an American comedian. He is known for his hatred of political correctness as he believes it is a euphemism for censorship. He often discusses radical right-wing conspiracy theories.

Early life and education

Owen Benjamin was born in 1980. He went to Plattsburgh State University. He started out as an actor in television in 2006. In 2008, Benjamin played a supporting character in the movie The House Bunny. In 2009, he starred in the movie All's Faire in Love, co-starring Christina Ricci. In 2012, Benjamin started playing the protagonist’s best friend in the sitcom Sullivan and Son.

Comedy

Benjamin modelled his comedy after that of Adam Sandler and Vince Vaughn. He says the most offensive things he can think of about everyone because he wants to show that no one gets to tell him what he can or cannot say, and to destroy sacred cows.

Politics

Owen Benjamin says that the transgender movement is just a modern day version of eugenics and that radio host Jesse Thorn is a child molester because he transitioned his kid. Benjamin says he wants to bring back slavery as he believes that it can solve the abortion dilemma. Benjamin is a creationist and does not believe that dinosaurs ever existed as he claims there is no undeniable scientific evidence that they did exist except for appeal to authority.

Views on race

Owen Benjamin has said that Hitler did not really hate the Jews but was trying to "clean Germany up" to get rid of the "parasites". (reference to the loan sharks and money lenders who, in he believes were dominated by some Jews and the rest not only didn't call it out, but protected such predatory behaviour) that took advantage of the Great Depression to drown the Germans in debt) Benjamin says that Jews control the media, Hollywood and pornography and that no one but the Jews wants any of them. Benjamin also said that it is mathematically impossible for gas chambers to be used during the Holocaust if 6 million Jews were killed, and that if the Jews end up with power they will destroy civilization. Benjamin also supports Peter Brimelow.

Benjamin quoted lines from the Talmud to prove that it advocates for Jewish Supremacy Benjamin also makes fun of people who do not like Holocaust denial.

He has criticised various alt right figures including Nick Fuentes for expressing White Nationalist views claiming that even what we consider 'white' by modern standards such as the Irish were once viewed as a different race and that many people who look white are not even ethnically European.

Alternative right

In a video attacking Ben Shapiro for criticizing Nick Fuentes and people on the Alt-right who support conspiracy theories, Owen Benjamin describes himself as on the Alt-right by saying “Do you know anyone else on the Alt-right who sings about moon landing conspiracies” and that “what Ben Shapiro doesn’t understand is that all that it means when we say we’re Alt-right is that we’re an alternative to the mainstream right!”.

Personal life

In 2008, Owen Benjamin got engaged to Christina Ricci but later called off their marriage. He eventually married someone else and has had 4 children to date.
