Candace Owens marked the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death on 10 September by claiming in an anniversary podcast, during which she read from journal entries addressed to the late activist, that Kirk had been 'betrayed'. Owens also said the unnamed people she was referring to would not 'get away with it', adding that 'the devil overplayed his hand this time'.
Owens dedicated her anniversary episode to Kirk, with whom she had previously worked. Recalling the period before his death was confirmed, she said she told her husband, George, that Kirk had been betrayed and later repeated her belief that 'the devil overplayed his hand'.
