Candace Owens has made fresh claims about Turning Point USA and its CEO Erika Kirk, just as she skipped a planned event with US Vice President JD Vance. The group had promoted the event at the University of Georgia, but Erika Kirk did not attend, with JD Vance saying she had received “threats.” At the same time, Owens shared new claims about the day Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025.
Candace Owens raises new Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA claims after Charlie Kirk death
Candace Owens said on X that “the ATF traced a mysterious gun on the morning of September 10th.” She added, “Its manufacturer reached out to me and it turns out, a TPUSA faith Pastor and friend of Erika Kirk tried to buy his company.” She did not provide proof for this claim.
This is not the first time Owens has questioned Turning Point USA leadership. Earlier, she suggested the group may have had a role in Charlie Kirk’s death, but again, she did not show evidence.
Separately, Turning Point USA had announced the Georgia event online, writing that JD Vance and Erika Kirk would appear together. This would have been their second public appearance after a University of Arkansas event that drew attention online. However, Erika Kirk did not attend the Georgia event. JD Vance said the reason was threats, though no further details were shared.
Candace Owens shares Charlie Kirk hologram theory and questions Erika Kirk leadership
Candace Owens also repeated one of her most talked-about ideas. She claimed there may have been a plan involving a “Charlie GPT” or even a hologram to support Erika Kirk becoming CEO.
She said, “there was a plot to remove Charlie and then to use Charlie GPT to convince the world that it was… Charlie’s dying wish for his wife to replace him.”
She also added, “they thought OK well people are not gonna believe that so we’re gonna have to have something that convinces them that this is actually what Charlie wanted.”
In another part of her show, Owens said donors contacted her. She claimed they told her an audio clip where Charlie Kirk allegedly supported Erika Kirk’s leadership was “completely faked.” She said those donors were present at an Aspen event and insisted Charlie never made that statement.
Owens also made a separate claim about a possible connection between Erika Kirk and Ben Shapiro, saying she had “a troubling sense of evil” about their relationship. She did not provide evidence for this claim either. These statements have not been confirmed by Turning Point USA or any official investigation.
