Candace Owens has been at the center of a firestorm of controversy and political drama over the past few days, with her relentless questioning of Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA dominating headlines and social media discourse.
The conservative commentator has reignited her explosive "Charlie Kirk cremation" theory with sharper and more direct accusations. According to Times of India, Owens posted a cryptic but serious question on X asking simply, "Was Charlie Kirk cremated?" without explanation, which immediately went viral. On her podcast, she expanded these theories significantly, claiming there was a plot to remove Charlie and replace him with "Charlie GPT" to convince the world that it was Charlie's dying wish for his wife to replace him. According to Times of India reporting, Owens stated that donors reached out to her claiming an audio clip of Charlie Kirk supporting Erika Kirk was fake, and that Charlie never made that statement at an Aspen event. She also brought back accusations that Turning Point USA used edited video on Fox News, claiming the group mixed old clips to hide that JD Vance spoke to an empty room.
Owens has been particularly vocal about Erika Kirk's last-minute cancellation of a Turning Point USA event with Vice President JD Vance at the University of Georgia. According to inkl, Owens questioned Kirk's stated security concerns, pointing out that Kirk previously claimed to have zero fear being in public after her husband was assassinated. According to Economic Times, Owens suggested poor ticket sales, not security threats, were the real reason for Kirk's withdrawal. CBS News reported that the Secret Service determined there were no credible threats to the rally, adding fuel to Owens' skepticism.
Additionally, according to inkl, Owens has criticized the handling of Tyler Robinson's case, calling it "outrageous" that it's moving forward without key FBI and ATF evidence, particularly DNA data and full chain-of-custody records. According to TMZ via inkl, a bullet fragment recovered from Charlie Kirk was linked to a .30 caliber round matching a Mauser 98 .30-06 rifle prosecutors believe Robinson used.
Meanwhile, President Trump has taken shots at Owens on Truth Social, calling her "really dumb and mentally ill" amid disagreements over Iran policy, according to KATV.
It's important to note that none of Candace Owens' claims regarding Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, or Turning Point USA have been proven or confirmed by officials, investigators, or the organizations involved.
