Candace Owens has renewed her public criticism of Turning Point USA despite holding a private, face-to-face meeting with the organisation's current leader, Erika Kirk, in mid-December 2025.

The dispute focuses on TPUSA's recent decisions following the death of its founder, Charlie Kirk, including a controversial display unveiled at a major conservative conference in Phoenix.
