Candace Owens is stirring the pot again with a feud that’s got conservative circles buzzing.

This saga centers on Owens’ ongoing clash with Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA following the tragic assassination of founder Charlie Kirk in September 2025, a dispute now laced with personal jabs and unverified rumors.

For hardworking taxpayers who fund the political movements they believe in, this drama risks diverting attention from core conservative causes, potentially undermining financial support for organizations like Turning Point USA as donors question leadership stability.

The economic ripple could mean less funding for grassroots efforts that fight progressive overreach. We can’t afford to let personal spats drain resources from the bigger battle.

Early Ties and Growing Tensions

Let’s rewind to the beginning: Owens served as communications director for Turning Point USA from 2017 to 2019, working side by side with Charlie Kirk. Things seemed peachy until Charlie started dating Erika in 2018, which, according to some insiders, sparked envy in Owens.

An insider told The New York Post, “She wasn’t invited to Charlie’s [2021] wedding. That was really telling.” If true, that’s a cold shoulder colder than a winter in Montana, signaling a rift deeper than policy disagreements.

Reports also suggest Owens felt pushed aside when Erika entered the picture, with whispers of jealousy over Charlie’s new romance. It’s a classic tale of personal feelings muddying professional waters, and conservatives deserve better than soap-opera distractions.

Post-Assassination Fallout Intensifies

Fast forward to September 2025, after Charlie Kirk’s heartbreaking assassination, and Owens didn’t hold back. She’s been openly critical of Erika Kirk, now the CEO of Turning Point USA, accusing her of questionable dealings, like a supposed meeting with a security head at Fort Huachuca.

This theory drew sharp rebuke from prominent voices like Alex Jones and Laura Loomer, who see Owens’ claims as reckless. When even the loudest in our camp cry foul, it’s time to ask if Owens is fighting for truth or just a grudge.

Meanwhile, The New York Post quoted insiders calling Owens “sadistic and dangerous” for spreading what they deem to be falsehoods about Erika. That’s a heavy charge, and while we must scrutinize every claim, conservatives should demand hard evidence over hearsay in such serious matters.

Rumors and Unverified Claims Surface

Adding fuel to the fire, a TikTok video by The Older Millennial alleges Owens harbored deep feelings for Charlie Kirk and rushed into her own marriage after his engagement. There’s no proof to back this up, and frankly, it smells like clickbait nonsense. We’re better than gossip; let’s stick to facts.

That same video claims Owens accepted a marriage proposal via FaceTime just 18 days after meeting her husband—again, unverified and irrelevant to the core issues. Such rumors only cloud the real debate over Turning Point USA’s direction.

Despite the noise, some insider accounts suggest Charlie tried to keep ties with Owens, even after reportedly easing her out of the organization for erratic behavior. It’s a reminder that personal bonds can endure professional splits, though clearly not without friction.

Recent Meeting Offers Hope

Earlier in December 2025, Owens and Erika Kirk sat down to hash things out, a move that could signal a ceasefire. Owens herself called the meeting “highly productive,” noting they shared insights and clarified intentions.

She added, “We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well.” (The New York Post) That’s a start, though conservatives should watch if actions match words—reconciliation is meaningless without trust.

Ultimately, this feud is a test for the conservative movement. With progressive agendas gaining ground, we can’t afford internal battles that weaken our resolve. Let’s hope Owens and Kirk focus on Charlie’s legacy over personal scores, ensuring Turning Point USA remains a bulwark against woke overreach.
