Candace Owens’ long running feud with Turning Point USA leadership has taken another sharp turn, and this time the pushback is coming from within conservative circles. What began as a simmering dispute after the death of Charlie Kirk has now evolved into a public clash involving Owens, Erika Kirk, and far right activist Laura Loomer.
Candace Owens and Erika Kirk appeared to have reached a fragile truce last year. That calm did not last. Owens continued to float theories surrounding Charlie Kirk’s fatal shooting at Utah Valley University in September 2025, including allegations of Israeli involvement and claims aimed at TPUSA leadership. More recently, she accused Erika Kirk of wrongdoing and even referenced details from her marriage, reigniting tensions that had never fully cooled.
