The post was captioned:“Today on the show...Erika Kirk GOES OFF on ‘conspiracy theorists’ (read: me). Will this strategy work on the general public? We learn about what Erika told Bari Weiss about those pesky Egyptian planes. And to be honest, it’s weird.”Candace Owens @RealCandaceOLINKToday on the show: -Erika Kirk GOES OFF on “conspiracy theorists” (read: me) Will this strategy work on the general public? -We learn about what Erika told Bari Weiss about those pesky Egyptian planes. And to be honest, it’s weird. Join us LIVE!Loomer reposted the aforementioned post the same day and accused Owens of attacking Erika Kirk for personal reasons. She insinuated that Owens’ criticism stemmed from jealousy over Charlie Kirk’s marriage during his lifetime.“As I have been saying, Candace Owens @RealCandaceO is jealous Charlie married Erika instead of her. Leave @MrsErikaKirk alone. Hasn’t she suffered enough? This is ghoul behavior,” Loomer wrote.Candace Owens fires back at Erika Kirk after the latter addresses conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk’s deathCandace Owens (Image via Getty Images)Candace Owens publicly pushed back against Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, after Erika finally spoke out about the growing conspiracy theories surrounding her husband’s death and the inner workings of Turning Point USA.Erika, appearing on Fox News’ Outnumbered on December 10, had addressed the intense speculation that had circulated ever since Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025.During the interview, Erika urged the public to stop searching for the secret place where Charlie Kirk was buried, as that was the “ one thing” she wanted to keep sacred for herself and her family. She also urged people to stop spreading misinformation related to his death and TPUSA.Owens, however, has remained among the most vocal conspiracy theorists in the aftermath. She has repeatedly suggested that there was more to Charlie Kirk’s death than met the eye, pointing fingers at Israel, TPUSA’s leadership, and even the U.S. military.After Erika’s interview, Candace Owens turned her attention toward the widow herself.On December 10, Owens posted a message on X. She argued that it was unreasonable to shield any major organization from criticism simply because it was experiencing collective grief.“It is a positively ABSURD notion that you cannot critique a 150 million dollar organization because the CEO says they are like a family, and are grieving,” she wrote.She then drew a comparison to the way Black Lives Matter responded to scrutiny after George Floyd’s death.“It is the exact same emotional strategy deployed by BLM in the wake of George Floyd’s death, when I called out their shady financial dealings. I rejected it then, and I wholly reject it now. Sorry,” Owens added.Candace Owens @RealCandaceOLINKIt is a positively ABSURD notion that you cannot critique a 150 million dollar organization because the CEO says they are like a family, and are grieving.

She implied that while conservatives often criticized figures like David Hogg or BLM for “using tragedy to shut down inquiry,” they suddenly reversed their standards when it came to TPUSA.Candace Owens @RealCandaceOLINKI’m starting to think I have a learning disability because it’s been years and I cannot learn to be like these other hypocrites in politics who can call out David Hogg and BLM for using tragedy to shut down inquiry, but now think it’s EVIL when it comes to TPUSA. 😩The next day, on December 11, Candace Owens, in her podcast video, slammed Charlie Kirk’s widow, adding that although Erika was finally addressing the “conspiracy theories”, it “completely missed the mark” for her.She later also posted a short video clip on her Instagram, detailing the contents of her December 11 podcast video.In this video clip (shared to X by user Collin Rugg), Candace Owens said that Erika had essentially “gone off on conspiracy theorists” about Charlie Kirk and implied that journalists were reaching out to her because the remarks appeared to be aimed at her.Owens noted that reporters were emailing her since the situation was “indirect, but… also about me,” stressing that Erika’s comments seemed pointed enough that she fully expected to be referenced publicly.Owens went on to say that Erika would likely “name-check” her during an upcoming appearance with Bari Weiss, adding that her “mommy sleuths” had already monitored the town hall and sent her updates right after it ended.She suggested that Erika’s remarks about the “Egyptian planes” struck her as “a little suspicious” and described the response as “weird,” indicating that she felt compelled to examine the subject further.Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, 2025, during a campus event at Utah Valley University, remains surrounded by controversy and ongoing speculation.Meanwhile, Candace Owens continues with her Candace Podcast, where she has been discussing various theories and questions surrounding Kirk’s death.
