The public fight between Candace Owens and Turning Point USA has taken another turn after both sides clashed over a Daily Mail report linked to the 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk. On July 22, TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the organization never received a request for comment before the story was published and questioned whether the article accurately reflected Erika Kirk’s views.

Owens pushed back, shared screenshots that she said showed Daily Mail had contacted her team before publication, and challenged Kolvet to seek legal action if he believed the report contained fabricated quotes. The exchange has become the latest chapter in their long-running dispute over Owens’ ongoing coverage of Charlie Kirk’s death.
