Candace Owens has stepped into a fresh public fight with Meghan McCain and Ben Shapiro, and the argument quickly spread across social media. The conservative podcaster posted screenshots of what she said were text messages from Charlie Kirk, the late co-founder of Turning Point USA. One of the messages showed Kirk speaking harshly about television personality Meghan McCain. The dispute began after Meghan McCain criticized people who were sharing private messages from Charlie Kirk after his death. In a post on X, she wrote, “Stop sharing dead people’s text messages. You absolute psychopaths.”
Soon after that post, Candace Owens responded. She shared an alleged message from Charlie Kirk and used it to push back against both Meghan McCain and Ben Shapiro. The exchange quickly pulled several conservative media figures into the same online fight. Charlie Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA, died in September 2025 after being attacked while attending an event at Utah Valley University. Since then, several debates about his legacy and relationships have appeared online.
