Former Daily Wire host Candace Owens met with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, in a high-stakes meeting amid vast disagreements over the assassination of the Turning Point USA founder.
Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Provo, Utah, on Sept. 10.
Since then, various political figures have spread conspiracy theories regarding Kirk’s assassination.
Owens, specifically, took the social media world by storm over her various claims regarding the death of her longtime friend.
Shortly after Kirk’s killing, Owens appeared to suggest that the Israeli government could have played a role in the assassination. She cited then-recent instances of Kirk calling out the Jewish State, accusing it of trying to “ethnically cleanse” Gaza.
Owens then pivoted to the theory that the Egyptian government possibly could have had some involvement in Kirk’s death, citing two aircraft tail numbers: SU-BTT and SU-BND. Flight logs showed the government aircraft arriving at close locations to Turning Point events, where Kirk would speak.
The ex-Daily Wire host even went as far as alleging that Turning Point “betrayed” Kirk, but she did not accuse the organization of being involved in the assassination.
After his killing, Erika was appointed CEO of Turning Point.
Owens’ theories on social media garnered tens of millions of views and caught the attention of Erika, who called on individuals attacking her or Turning Point to “stop.”
“When you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this, no,” Erika said during a Fox News interview last week.
Amid the ideological fight over Kirk’s death, Owens and Erika sat down for an extensive meeting on Monday.
The pair, according to the Daily Mail, met at an undisclosed location in Nashville, Tennessee.
Both Owens and Erika praised their meeting as productive.
“Erika and I had an extremely productive 4 1/2 hour meeting that I think we both feel should have taken place a lot earlier than it did. We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent,” Owens said on X.
“Had a very productive conversation with @RealCandaceO. More to come from both of us. Looking forward to AmFest this week. Time to get back to work,” Erika wrote.
