Erika Kirk, Candace Owens To Have Private Meeting Amid Online Feud

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, the widow of the nonprofit organization's founder and former CEO Charlie Kirk, and far-right conservative podcaster Candace Owens, have agreed to "a private, in-person discussion" set to take place on Monday (December 15) amid their publicized online feud, both confirmed in posts shared on their X accounts.

"Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion on Monday, December 15. @RealCandaceO and I have agreed that public discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting. I look forward to a productive conversation. Thank you," Kirk wrote.

"I am very much looking forward to this discussion," Owens responded.

The meeting will mark the first between the two since Charlie Kirk's murder in September. Owens, who had previously served as a communications officer at Turning Point USA from 2017 to 2019, has shared numerous conspiracy theories about Kirk's assassination, which his widow has spoken out against.

“When you go out for 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 an interview with FOX News’ Harris Faulkner.

“This is a mind virus. And so my message to them is to stop. To stop,” she added.

Kirk repeated that sentiment when asked by new CBS News Editor-in Chief Bari Weiss what she would say to "those that are putting these lies out into the world" during an exclusive sit-down interview.

“Stop. That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Stop,” she responded.

Kirk didn't personally mention Owens' name, however, the pundit has been the loudest in sharing conspiracy theories on her husband's assassination. Owens claimed that Erika Kirk had suffered from “Megan Markle syndrome,” or “where you want privacy when you want it, you want publicity when you want it.”

“None of this is passing the vibe check. You are not changing my mind about the fact that something weird happened that day and that TPUSA is acting funny because you give an impassioned plea and speak about Nehemiah on Fox News,” Owens said of Erika's interview performance.

Owens has shared theories blaming Israeli officials for arranging the assassination of Kirk, which have received backing from other far-right pundits such as Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate. Owens and Charlie Kirk had appeared together at several conservative public events even after her Turning Point USA departure and she claimed they had always bickered "like an old couple."

Owens has previously faced controversy for sharing conspiracy theories, which includes being sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, for falsely claiming that the first lady of France was secretly transgender.
