Candace Owens Demands Erika Kirk Release Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Pre-Death Audio
Candace Owens intensified pressure on Turning Point USA leadership this week. She urged Erika Kirk to make public an alleged recording from Charlie Kirk made before his death.
Context and timeline
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. The shooting killed him. AmericaFest, also called AMFEST, is Turning Point USA’s annual convention.
The first AmericaFest was held in 2021. Former President Donald Trump spoke at the 2024 edition. The 2025 meeting was the first AMFEST after Kirk’s assassination.
Owens’ public demands
On X, Owens said she wanted full evidence released. She asked why a video would not accompany any claimed audio.
Candace Owens demands Erika Kirk release Charlie Kirk’s alleged pre-death audio, she wrote, and said the footage would clarify context. Owens argued that releasing the material would resolve questions over motive and succession.
Reactions on social media
A user noted that a full video could settle doubts about credibility. Owens agreed and called the release a simple public relations move. She said it would dispel suggestions that Erika sought her husband’s post for personal gain.
Renewed feud with Erika Kirk
Owens’ post revived tensions with Erika Kirk. The two had agreed late last year to halt public disputes. That truce followed Owens’ on-air remarks about the shooting.
Erika had asked Owens to stop speculating. She warned that speculation could interfere with the criminal case against the accused shooter.
Questions about an alibi and messages
Owens said the ceasefire was broken and raised doubts about an alibi Erika provided for September 8. That date is two days before the shooting. Owens highlighted that Charlie Kirk’s contact name was obscured in shared messages.
She also referenced material reportedly provided by Justin Streiff of Turning Point USA. That material allegedly included a conversation about what Erika planned to make for dinner. Owens mentioned Mitch Snow as someone who said he saw Erika in a Fort Huachuca hotel lobby at that time.
Legal and investigatory status
Tyler Robinson, 22, has been identified as the suspect in the killing. Authorities have not released a full public timeline of events. Erika Kirk previously cautioned against commentary that could affect the investigation.
At AmericaFest
The AMFEST program continued amid the controversy. Organizers and speakers referenced donor lists and organizational priorities. One remark at the event noted that Egypt did not appear on a list of contributing countries.
