Quote replying to a video from the event on December 2, 2025, on X (formerly Twitter), Owens wrote,

“We almost made it one Sunday without a TPUSA Faith ‘pastor’ mentioning me or Tucker Carlson on stage. Better luck next week.”

The post reportedly signaled continuing tensions between her and figures associated with Turning Point USA’s faith initiatives. The latest remark follows a week of escalating disputes, including Owens’ response to pastors who labeled her “evil” and “demonic,” according to media reports from November 30, 2025.

These pastors’ critiques arise amid broader conflict over Owens’ public questioning of the circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death, which has created sharp divides within the conservative organization he founded.

More about Candace Owens' fallout with Charlie Kirk's organization

Candace Owens’ December 2 post was brief but pointed, reportedly showing that she is aware of ongoing commentary from TPUSA Faith pastors. Her latest remark followed a pattern of public pushback she began intensifying in late November. She recently shared a clip of a TPUSA Faith pastor calling her “evil” and “demonic,” mocking his declaration by saying,

Candace Owens has reportedly tied the criticism she is receiving to her refusal to drop questions about Charlie Kirk’s death. Kirk, the founder of TPUSA, was fatally shot in September 2025 during an event at Utah Valley University. Owens maintains that his final communications raise concerns that TPUSA leaders have avoided acknowledging. Her critics, meanwhile, argue she has stoked division within the movement.

The ongoing tension suggests that Jack Hibbs’s comments at the summit were not an isolated development but part of a widening rift between Owens and the faith-adjacent faction of the organization Kirk founded.

According to media reports from November 30, 2025, Candace Owens has allegedly been amplifying accounts from attendees who say recent Turning Point USA Faith events have been marked by hostility rather than spiritual teaching.

One young woman described hearing “90 minutes of weaponized hate,” alleging that speakers labeled certain groups “freaks,” accused Candace Owens of being “anti-semitic,” and engaged in behavior that felt far removed from biblical messages about compassion. Owens publicly endorsed that criticism, adding that “young people today can see fake pastors.”

Candace Owens links TPUSA to Charlie Kirk's death

In another December 2, 2025, post on X (formerly Twitter), Candace Owens encouraged TPUSA donors to seek refunds and said that new information had “completed the picture” for her. She claimed that supporters had not been told the truth about what she called “internal failures and omissions” by TPUSA leadership, adding that she intends to release documentation to substantiate her accusations.

Owens’ comments add to ongoing national attention on Kirk’s death on September 10, 2025, when the TPUSA founder was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Authorities initially described the shooting as a “targeted attack,” and 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was later taken into custody.

The December 2, 2025, post followed earlier claims by Owens. On the November 13, 2025, episode of her podcast, she said she had identified ten “verifiable lies” that TPUSA allegedly circulated in the aftermath of Kirk’s killing. At the time of press, there have been no further updates on these allegations.
