Candace Owens Likens Erika Kirk to Meghan Markle For Expecting ‘Privacy’ and ‘Publicity’ When She Pleases

Candace Owens is drawing a comparison between Erika Kirk and Meghan Markle.

On Wednesday, December 10, Owens, 36, released a new episode of her eponymous podcast, reacting to Erika’s sit-down interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner earlier that day.

As the National Enquirer previously reported, the Turning Point USA CEO, 37, discussed conspiracy theories surrounding her husband Charlie Kirk‘s death, including questions about his burial site, in the interview.

“Can I have one thing? Can my children have one thing? Everything was public,” Erika stated. “Can my babies have one thing where we hold it sacred? Where my husband is laid to rest? Where I don’t have to be worried about some secular revolutionary coming and destroying my husband’s grave while my daughter is sitting there praying.”

Owens noted that “objectively,” she agrees with Erika, but doesn’t think the former Miss Arizona can’t expect privacy after making things public. Owens likened Erika’s situation to that of the Duchess of Sussex, 44, who has asserted she wants privacy in her life with Prince Harry and their children Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4.

“Subjectively, because we are dealing with the subject of Erica Kirk and what transpired immediately following Charlie’s assassination, this is going to be read as Meghan Markle syndrome,” Owens remarked on her podcast. “You want privacy when you want it, but you want publicity whenever you want it, and that just doesn’t work.’

“This is the same person who recorded, had somebody record her over Charlie Kirk’s casket,” Owens further pointed out, referring to Erika’s September Instagram post where Charlie’s corpse was visible as she cried over him. “There was no reason to do that outside of wanting to share something that was very private with the public.”

“And now you fast forward three months, removed, and it’s ‘why does the public want to know where he’s buried?’ It doesn’t work like that,” Owens added. “You have to make a decision: ‘I want this always to be private, or I want this always to be public.’”

Charlie was fatally shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged with the murder of the right-wing political activist.
