Laura Loomer and Candace Owens have escalated their long-running feud, this time arguing over the legacy of late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The latest exchange began after Owens accused Loomer of trying to rewrite Kirk's history and exaggerate her connection to him.
Loomer responded with a lengthy post defending herself, sharing screenshots of messages she said showed she had recently been in contact with Kirk before his death.
Laura Loomer rejects Candace Owens' claims
In her response, Loomer pushed back on Owens' suggestion that she had portrayed herself as one of Kirk's closest advisers.
'I never claimed to be an advisor to Charlie and never claimed to be his close friend,' Loomer wrote.
She said Kirk had invited her to Turning Point USA headquarters just weeks before his death to discuss issues including what she called the 'Woke Reich' and concerns about Islamism.
To support her claim, Loomer shared screenshots that she said were from June 2025 conversations with Kirk.
Loomer also addressed Owens' claim that Kirk had spoken negatively about her in private.
Rather than denying it, she said it would not surprise her.
'And I don't care if Charlie spoke badly about me to people as you claim,' Loomer wrote.
'People say bad things about me all the time. I move on and stay focused.'
She argued that her decision to defend Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, showed her character, even if Kirk may have criticized her privately.
