No, Candace Owens is not set to host an ABC talk show

ABC’s daytime talk show, "The View," is on a summer hiatus after wrapping its 27th season. But it will not be replaced by a talk show from controversial conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has faced repeated criticism for making antisemitic remarks. 

"Candace Owens Signs $25 Million Deal With ABC For A Morning Show," a Facebook post says. "It’s Going to Replace The View." 

The news originated on SpaceXMania, a satirical news site, which labeled the story as satire. The site describes itself as bringing "the freshest fake news, some sassy analysis, and a good dose of satire."

"Half of all Ukrainian aid was laundered and sent back to Democrat candidates for re-election."

An ABC spokesperson declined to comment on the claim.
