Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens’ debating journey

The post, shared by an account identified as MrsDorough, argues that Kirk saw something special in Owens long before she became a familiar name in political debate. It says he praised her talent, traveled with her for debates and spent significant time teaching her how to prepare.

The writer also points to the practical side of that mentorship. According to the post, Kirk used note cards while teaching Owens, showed her what to do and what not to do, and stressed the importance of preparation and never underestimating an opponent.
