Candace Owens slams reports that Charlie Kirk picked Erika Kirk as TPUSA successor before his death; ‘That’s ridiculous’

The slain conservative group founder reportedly named his wife, Erica Kirk, as the person who will continue to advance the mission. “If anything happened to me, I would appoint my wife to run Turning Point USA. Erica would do a great job,” he reportedly said. A month later, Kirk was shot and killed while attending an event at Utah Valley University. Utah native Tyler Robinson has been charged with murder in the case and is facing trial.

However, Owens, a former TPUSA member who had numerous conspiracy theories after Kirk’s assassination, had no idea about the Daily Mail report. In an already ongoing feud, she attacks TPUSA again.

“The second reason they didn’t release it? Because apparently Turning Point no longer remembers how to black out the body in edits. Or mute its voice. They wanted to protect the person who asked the question,” Owens further said. Owens also slammed TPUSA, continuing: “Yes, Turning Point America now wants you to believe the experts! They still have zero respect for the public.”

However, she reserved her harshest criticism for the Daily Mail’s reporting itself. Speaking about the article being behind a paywall, Owens wrote: “They are putting this article behind a paywall because its content is so ridiculous that even journalists are too embarrassed to make it permanent.”

Owens wasn’t done yet and expressed her feelings in the comments. It has been suggested that the video may not exist, as the Daily Mail’s report only mentioned it and did not embed said video into the story. “Yeah. It’s totally legal, though, Mel. The company that plastered Charlie’s name on hats, T-shirts, books, and selfies taken under the recreated tent where he was assassinated is suddenly a little shy about sharing old footage of him. Trust the science,” Owens wrote. When it was pointed out that the Daily Mail’s report stated Owens was unavailable for comment, she claimed the publication was lying.

“This is completely made up. They have never contacted us for comment but they have @BCC_Mitchell’s email. This is a PR article. They always pretend they can’t reach people for comment in these situations,” Owens said, without providing any evidence that she had not been contacted by the Daily Mail.
