After months of Candace Owens questioning Turning Point USA in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the organization has finally reached out to her, and she has responded accordingly.
In a special message on The Charlie Kirk Show, the organization gave a response to some of Candace Owens’ claims against the organization following Kirk’s assassination. Not only were her assertions dismissed as unfathomable by the team, but they also publicly invited her to come on the show.
“Ever since Charlie’s murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA, people at Turning Point Action, and people who work for this show. She has made them against some of Charlie’s closest friends, and against some of his most dedicated employees,” the statement read.
The Charlie Kirk show then invited Owens to do a live stream with them to clear the air.
“In the near future, there will be a live stream here in Phoenix where we address in a clear and comprehensive way the claims and accusations, the false accusations that have been made against Charlie’s family, friends and the people here at Turning Point. We plan to walk through everything carefully and thoroughly. If Candace is available, we would sincerely welcome her participation in that live stream at our studio here in Phoenix. At this point, we believe the ball is back in her court. Our motivation for doing this is not out of any obligation to Candace. It is about honoring Charlie. We feel a deep responsibility to protect his legacy, his work and the truth.”
In a response video, Owens accepted the invitation.
“You can pick the place. You can pick the time. I say we do it tomorrow. We don’t need to plan for this. We don’t need lawyers in between us. Lawyer statements. It’s not how I roll…I want it to be authentic,” Owens said. “I accept it with whistles and bells—everything I fully accept. I say, let’s do it tomorrow. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
Now we will have to wait and see whether Turning Point USA and Candace Owens can be reconciled.
