Candace slammed Erica’s response, writing, “Stop. This is exhausting. You quit due to poor ticket sales. TPFaith has had to quietly “reschedule” the Pastors Summit and various other events for the same reason.”

“People don’t believe you and don’t support you because you struggle to tell the most basic truth. Where is the video of Charlie naming you CEO weeks before he died? The Secret Service is on top of your security team. If there was a real and viable threat, the Vice President would not continue this campaign. Your closest threat is the bullshit public relations team you hired who continue to operate under the delusion that they are smarter than the public. They are not,” she added.
