Erika Kirk has furiously slammed ‘evil’ conspiracy theorists making revolting claims linking Turning Point staff to Charlie Kirk‘s assassination.
The TPUSA CEO, who stepped into the role after her husband’s murder, warned that she would not allow her colleagues to be targeted by online trolls.
Inflammatory claims by provocateurs like Candace Owens have led to threats against TPUSA staff.
Owens, once a friend of Charlie Kirk’s, has told her followers that TPUSA is somehow to blame for his assassination – while carefully avoiding using Erika’s name.
Owens was a prominent TPUSA speaker and director of communications until 2020, when she parted ways amid disagreements.
Since Kirk’s death, she has escalated accusations of internal ‘betrayal’ at TPUSA, challenging the official narrative around the lone shooter and prompting TPUSA to invite her to a public livestream debate.
Erika, who did not name Owens specifically, told Fox News on Wednesday: ‘Come after me, call me names, I don’t care. Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever.
‘But … when you go after the people that I love and you’re making hundreds of thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this? No.’
I have avoided Erika Kirk’s role in the assassination investigation.
I remember saying only one thing about her, something kind about her words.
I am not going to change my tune except to say Kirk’s assassination belongs to the public now and TPUSA cannot be exempted from analysis because Erika says they are ‘family’.
The larger point is Owens has opened a novel avenue of investigation. She is doing incisive, transparent crowd-sourcing and speculative analysis.
Her work has been way better than the FBI’s.
I hope we see much more of this kind of real-time open discussion of major world events.
