Candace Owens has reignited her long-running feud with Erika Kirk after a heckling incident at a Turning Point USA summit in the United States on Friday, 5 June, using social media to mock the organisation's newly appointed leader following a disruption during her speech.
The flashpoint came during Kirk's appearance at a women's leadership event tied to the conservative group, where she now serves as chief executive after the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, in September 2025. Video circulating online shows an unidentified audience member interrupting roughly 11 minutes into her 17-minute address, repeatedly shouting the allegation that she 'protects paedophiles' — a claim presented without evidence in the clip.
