Candace Owens Reveals Erika Kirk ‘Owned the Lies’ About Husband Charlie’s Messages During Meeting

Candace Owens and Erika Kirk seem to have gotten on the same page about one thing regarding Charlie Kirk’s death.

On the Tuesday, December 16, episode of her eponymous podcast, the political commentator, 36, debriefed her meeting with the Turning Point USA CEO, 37, which took place on Monday.

Owens said during their conversation that she and the former Miss Arizona discussed messages Charlie allegedly sent about being killed the night before he was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10.

“I was immediately refreshed by the fact that one of the first things that Erica did was she owned the lies,” Owens remarked. “The lies, or rather, I guess they would cage it as miscommunications that were coming from various people at the company.”

Owens recalled how Erika appeared on the Glenn Beck Program on December 11, and noted Erika said “she had Charlie’s phone and that Charlie never texted anybody the night before, saying that he thought that they were going to kill him.”

“And that obviously reflected poorly on me, because I was the one who said that he did, in fact, text multiple people the night before,” Owens told listeners.

After Erika’s comments, Owens explained that she appeared on the Jimmy Dore Show and said that Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet and Charlie’s security person, Dan Flood, both received a similar message about being killed from Charlie the night before his passing.

Owens said Erika’s side “owned that right away” and shared why they initially thought Charlie didn’t send those messages.

“Erika said that she has Charlie’s phone, she’s looking at his iMessages. And it turns out that he, like everybody else, communicates on Signal, he communicates on Telegram,” Owens remarked. “When she heard me say that, they then went and looked, and yes, what I said was true. Andrew Kolvet received a message the night before, and Dan Flood received a message the night before.”

“They asked me if I had actually, like, a concrete copy of what Dan Flood got the night before, and I said ‘no,'” Owens continued. “Somebody told me what it said, which was almost exactly what Andrew said, which is ‘they’re going to kill me.'”

“Andrew did not know who… the ‘they’ that he was referring to were, but they clarified that the message that Dan Flood received said ‘the left is going to kill me,'” Owens added. “So, I can’t confirm that one way or the other. I have to trust them on that because I did not see that concrete message. I was told that it said ‘they.’”
