Erika Kirk, chief executive of Turning Point USA and widow of its founder Charlie Kirk, has rejected allegations from commentator Candace Owens linking her to her husband's death, describing the claims as false and damaging.
The dispute has drawn attention within US conservative circles and comes alongside Kirk's criticism of political commentary and satire, including comments by television host Jimmy Kimmel. Kirk said she has faced sustained personal attacks in the months since her husband's death, which she described as 'dehumanising'.
