Candace Owens claims Charlie Kirk’s parents pushed the lawsuit
Owens addressed the issue in a post on September 16, where she directly disputed what she described as attempts by Turning Point USA to take credit for the legal action.
She wrote:
“Since there is nothing that TPUSA won’t try to grift off of, I feel it’s important to state something that is true:
The wrongful death lawsuit was pushed by Charlie Kirk’s parents. They were the ones that wanted this justice for Charlie and they approached and convinced Erika to get behind it.
This is a fact.”
