On March 27, Candace Owens posted on X asking for the video where Charlie Kirk mentioned that Erika Kirk should lead his organisation, TPUSA, after him.
In her post, Owens highlighted the audio Turning Point USA played while beginning with AmFest. For those unaware, last year the TPUSA AmFest kicked off on December 18 and concluded on December 21.
She raised eyebrows about Charlie’s organization, demanding the video of the stated audio clip in which Charlie mentioned Erika’s name as his successor if anything happened to him.
Candace Owens wrote:
“Something that I think about often is how Turning Point opened Amfest with an alleged audio of Charlie saying he wanted Erika to take over the organization if anything happened to him. Why won’t they release the video? Surely, if they captured the audio they have the video.”
She went on to say that she would like to see the video where Charlie Kirk responded to a donor’s question about who would take over if he passed away, and Charlie mentioned Erika’s name.
“The claim made is that at an Aspen retreat weeks before his death, Charlie answered a donor who asked “what would happen if you died” to which he replied that he would want Erika to take over. I would like to see the video of that.”
Candace Owens has been critical of Erika Kirk since Charlie’s death
Candace Owens has raised questions about the appointment of Erika Kirk as the CEO of Turning Point USA several times in the past. Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10. Following this, Erika was officially named as the CEO of TPUSA.
Most recently, Owens attacked Erika Kirk after she was named as a member of the Air Force Academy board. The position, which was initially given to Charlie Kirk, was transferred to Erika Kirk following the death of her husband. Candace questioned this appointment. In her post, Owens wrote:
“She’s a grieving widow so we have no right to ask what the hell qualifies her to a position advising our Defense Department. This is all perfectly normal and only people who are DEMONIC would question this appointment.”
After Candace Owens raised questions, several other podcasters and commentators like Laura Loomer and Graham Allen backed Erika Kirk.
