About this episode
Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Barely a week has passed since the Charlie Kirk memorial, and my name has been debated as much as the late Turning Point USA founder himself. According to Black Enterprise and the International Business Times, my conspicuous absence from Kirk’s memorial in Arizona—where everyone from President Trump to Tucker Carlson graced the stage—sparked rumors and headlines about a supposed rift. I made it emphatically clear on social media and my most recent podcast episode that I was not invited to speak or attend in any official capacity, and I believe this was orchestrated by Turning Point donors and Kirk’s widow, Erika. I see this as yet another calculated effort to silence me following my public suspicion that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and powerful interests were behind Kirk’s death—a claim that instantly drew fire. I told my audience there’s a narrative at play and that, in my view, forces are trying desperately to suppress further investigation. The resulting scandal has taken on a life of its own. The New York Post and commentators from the PBD Podcast have suggested that my theories and critiques have become too “down the rabbit hole.” But while critics like DeRay Mckesson on X accuse me of “rage bait,” my supporters say my refusal to go along with the prevailing script, particularly around Israel, is part of my brand. Erika Kirk has added fuel by following me again on Instagram just as she took the reins as TPUSA CEO, leaving internet sleuths to speculate—are fences mending, or is this optics? My own Instagram story last week alleged an FBI “federal conspiracy” regarding Charlie’s assassination, further intensifying the uproar. My YouTube and podcast numbers have soared, with new episodes dissecting Erika Kirk’s first public speech, Kash Patel’s reaction, and my insistence that there are things we are not being told. According to extensive YouTube coverage, my content centered on the “Kirk conspiracy” has become some of my biggest ever—millions of views and numerous brand partnerships, fueling accusations I am profiting from tragedy. I have not shied from these debates, and on my latest show, I doubled down: there are questions that demand answers, and I will not be intimidated into silence. Meanwhile, amid ongoing legal issues related to prior conspiracy theories broadcast on my platforms—such as the claim about Brigitte Macron—I continue facing both lawsuits and derision from former allies in the conservative movement. But I have also garnered a new following in progressive and international circles for my critiques of Zionism and open support for Palestinian and Muslim suffering, as featured in Arab American News. Wherever you stand, nobody can deny: Candace Owens has become the focal point of a bitter, high-stakes cultural and political battle that shows no sign of quieting down.
