Meghan McCain Slams Candace Owens’ ‘Evil’ Series on Erika Kirk

Right-wing influencer Candace Owens is facing significant backlash regarding her upcoming series on Erika Kirk, widow of slain activist Charlie Kirk. Despite a private meeting between Owens and Erika Kirk two months ago aimed at reconciliation, Owens continues to propagate conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk’s tragic death.

Circumstances Surrounding Charlie Kirk’s Death

Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA event in Utah on September 10. Following his death, Erika Kirk assumed the role of CEO at Turning Point USA, the organization her husband founded in 2012. Since then, Candace Owens has repeatedly questioned the veracity of the events leading up to his murder.

Upcoming Series: “Bride of Charlie”

The series titled “Bride of Charlie: An Investigative Series” is slated to premiere on February 25. On February 24, Owens shared a teaser trailer on social media, which runs for 1 minute and 42 seconds. The trailer includes footage of Charlie Kirk’s death, Erika’s leadership at Turning Point USA, and insinuates a possible cover-up, referencing Israel and “Zionists.”

Public Backlash

The announcement of the series sparked immediate criticism online. Meghan McCain, a prominent TV personality, expressed her outrage on X, describing Owens’ actions as “pure, unadulterated … evil.” She questioned the morality of subjecting a woman whose husband was brutally assassinated to further public scrutiny.

• Meghan McCain’s statement: “Who in God’s name would put a woman… through this?”
• Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, raised the question, “What would Charlie have to say about this?”
• Ben Shapiro, founder of Daily Wire, labeled Owens as “evil” in a social media post.

Erika Kirk is also set to attend President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on February 24, further highlighting her prominence in the wake of her husband’s death.

As the premiere date approaches, the impact of Owens’ series on both Erika Kirk and broader public discourse remains to be seen. Critics are concerned about the ethical implications of producing content surrounding such sensitive subjects.
