The tragic shooting of conservative figure Charlie Kirk in September continues to spark drama, not just in court, but in a very public feud between podcaster Candace Owens and Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk. Owens has been a vocal proponent of various unproven theories surrounding Kirk’s death, ranging from foreign intervention to internal leadership involvement. Her latest move? Directly challenging Erika Kirk’s account regarding potential death threats Charlie might have received.
Erika Kirk previously stated that her husband had no messages indicating he foresaw his murder, asserting she had his phone in her possession. However, in her recent podcast, Owens claimed that TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet *told her* Charlie had indeed texted *him* about death threats the night before his death. This puts Erika’s statement directly at odds with Kolvet’s alleged account.
Owens didn’t mince words, suggesting that either Kolvet or Erika Kirk is “lying” about the events leading up to Kirk’s assassination. This dramatic turn has intensified an already tense situation, where Erika has publicly pleaded with Owens to “stop” spreading what she calls “mind virus” conspiracy theories.
Despite Erika’s appeals and authorities continuing to focus on Tyler Robinson as the primary suspect, Owens shows no signs of backing down. She’s demanded Erika specify the “lies” she’s spreading before she’ll cease her public inquiry, turning her podcast into a platform for these ongoing challenges. This escalating public drama adds a new, contentious layer to the already tragic loss of Charlie Kirk.
