Conservative commentator Candace Owens is at the center of a new controversy after allegedly leaked text messages between her and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk surfaced online. The messages appear to show Kirk expressing concerns about Ben Shapiro's efforts to undermine their careers, stating that Shapiro tried to 'kill' their reputations as they rose to prominence with the conservative organization. According to the screenshots, Kirk allegedly wrote, 'The ben thing involves me more than he wants to admit... He knows Jon Snow is stronger as the dragons fly higher... And he is sending his incestuous brother to go try and kill us.' Kirk also claimed that Shapiro's respect among conservative movement leaders was 'quite low.' Owens has denied the authenticity of the messages, saying she has 'about 300' similar conversations with Kirk. However, some experts have questioned the legitimacy of the screenshots, citing technical inconsistencies and a lack of community notes attached to the images. The controversy comes as Owens has been promoting conspiracy theories about Kirk's death, including allegations of Israeli involvement. While some have defended Owens, others have called for her to provide evidence to support her claims. The authenticity of the messages remains unclear, with some experts suggesting they may be fabricated. If proven to be false, some have suggested that Kirk's family, including his wife Erika, should consider taking legal action against Owens for spreading misinformation.
