Candace Owens Escalates Feud with Erika Kirk, Accuses TPUSA of Hypocrisy
Candace Owens further intensified the feud against Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA after Charlie Kirk's widow decried conspiracy theories over his killing.
Conservative podcaster Candace Owens has reignited her feud with Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, after Kirk called conspiracy theories surrounding her husband's assassination a 'mind virus.' Owens, who has been vocal about her own theories on the murder, took Kirk's comments to be a personal attack.
Kirk's husband, Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed on September 10 at Utah Valley University. A 22-year-old man has been arrested and charged with the murder. However, Owens has continued to suggest that there may be more to the story, pointing fingers at Israel, TPUSA's leadership, and the US military without providing any evidence.
In a recent X post, Owens drew a parallel between TPUSA and the Black Lives Matter movement, saying that Kirk's comments were an attempt to silence criticism using an 'emotional strategy.' Owens compared it to BLM's response to criticism over their financial dealings after George Floyd's death.
Owens also took a jab at Kirk's 'mind virus' comment, suggesting that it was a form of propaganda and using a sarcastic tone to mock the idea. The feud between Owens and Kirk continues to escalate, with both sides trading barbs on social media.
