00:00Candace Owens slams Erica Kirk over Turning Point USA leadership, compares Widow's grief to BLM tactics.
00:07Candace Owens launched a fiery critique of Erica Kirk this week, claiming the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk missed the mark in addressing conspiracy theories surrounding her husband's assassination.
00:19According to the New York Post, Owens went on X to accuse Kirk of deploying the same emotional strategy used by BLM.
00:26It is a positively absurd notion that you cannot critique a $150 million organization because the CEO says they are like a family and are grieving, Owens wrote.
00:38Owens, once a close friend of Charlie Kirk, has repeatedly targeted Erica in the wake of her husband's murder, suggesting that Kirk was betrayed and even insinuating possible government or foreign involvement in the assassination.
00:51Owens criticized Erica Kirk, CEO of TPUSA, for prioritizing personal grief over publicly addressing widespread conspiracy theories.
01:01Kirk, speaking publicly for the first time, acknowledged the conspiracies, but said she's focused on justice and protecting her family and team.
01:09She called the conspiracies a mind virus, prompting Owens to question Kirk's leadership.
01:14Turning Point USA looks so suspicious, she said.
01:18You don't just get to be widowed into chairman and CEO.
01:22Don't try to, like, mom the organization and say,
01:26Well, mother's upset because people are coming after her kids and all of the multi-million dollar subsidiaries.
01:32She gave us emotion.
01:34She said,
01:35I'm a mother.
01:36I am a wife.
01:37And we never asked about whether she was a mother or wife.
01:40We want to know if she is a CEO and a chairman.
01:45The exchange underscores ongoing tensions within conservative media circles,
01:49as Owens continues to challenge Erica Kirk's public role while the widow navigates grief
01:54and the immense responsibilities of running the organization her late husband co-founded.
01:59This clash highlights the broader debate over how personal loss and public leadership intersect in high-profile political organizations.
