Candace Owens raises questions on military for allegedly making Erika Kirk as face of the WHCD shooting

On May 14, Candace Owens targeted Erika Kirk for her viral video from the day of White House Correspondent Dinner shooting. The political commentator shared a picture of an email, which was allegedly sent by the White House Military Office after the WHCD shooting.

Candace Owens claimed that the military office sent the e-mail for the amplification of Erika Kirk’s video, which was recorded after the WHCD shooting. In the viral video, Erika Kirk looked frightened and was crying. She said that she wants to go home after the incident.

In her recent X post, Candace Owens claimed:

“As we reported on our show yesterday, approximately 1 Hour following the WHCD shooting, the White House Military Office sent an e-mail directing the amplification of Erika Kirk’s “I want to go home” video clip. Unfortunately, the e-mail was sent to the wrong internal groups. They then attempted to have I.T revoke the e-mail. When that failed they ordered every person to destroy the e-mail.”

She added that the military office attempted to revoke and destroy the e-mail.

“I have manually retyped the relevant portion of the e-mail that they wanted destroyed. (As explained on my show yesterday, this is because the DOD’s IT department has imprinted the e-mail with canary tactics to identify individual leaks)” Candace added.

Owens went on to ask why the military tried to push Erika Kirk’s face quickly after the WHCD shooting. She suggested that the incident could be unnaturally planned.

“So the question now is— why did the military so quickly prioritize making Erika Kirk the face of WHCD shooting? Is that normal emergency protocol or was this unnaturally preplanned?”


Candace Owens earlier raised questions on Erika’s video in her podcast.

In her previous podcast, Candace raised doubts about Erika’s viral clip. She called the timing and angle of the clip weird. She even claimed that Charlie Kirk wouldn’t have attended the White House dinner.

“They hate the internet because we clock this stuff so instantly. It was just weird. The ballroom. Erika Kirk… Next thing you know, we are all being lectured by neocons across the internet. We’re being called sheer evil psychopathic because Erika Kirk opted into another social calendar event… An event that did not in any way require her presence.”

The former Daily Wire host even claimed that Erika asked journalist Sara Sidner to record her video as she was leaving after the incident.

For those unaware, the White House Correspondent Dinner shooting happened on April 25 this year.
