US (Washington Insider) – Erika Kirk will meet Candace
Owens on Dec. 15, 2025, to address conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s
Sept. 10 death. Tyler Robinson, 22-year-old, faces murder charges; Owens
previously spread unverified claims.
As Melina Khan on USA Today reported, Erika Kirk, the widow
of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is set to meet with right-wing
commentator Candace Owens on Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, for a private
discussion. Owens, who once worked at Turning Point USA, the organisation
Charlie Kirk co-founded, has drawn criticism from other conservatives for
sharing conspiracy theories about Kirk’s death.
Erika Kirk wrote that they
“agreed that public
discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this
meeting.”
Erika Kirk added,
“I look forward to a productive
conversation.”
Owens wrote in response,
“I am very much looking forward to this
discussion.”
What will Erika Kirk and Candace Owens say about Charlie
Kirk’s death?
The planned meeting comes amid rising tensions within
conservative circles over false claims surrounding Kirk’s death. Both Erika
Kirk and Candace Owens confirmed the discussion on social media and said it
will be private.
The conversation is expected to address misinformation and
the controversies that followed the tragedy. Following Charlie Kirk’s death,
Candace Owens used her podcast to promote unverified claims and conspiracy
theories regarding the circumstances of his killing.
“There are lies that are being told, and they need
to be slapped down right now,”
Owens said in a Sept. 15 episode where
she went on to suggest without merit that the government could be covering up
information on Kirk’s death.
In an interview that aired on Dec. 13, 2025, CBS News
reporter Bari Weiss asked
Erika Kirk what she would like to say to Candace Owens about the conspiracy
theories surrounding her late husband, conservative activist Charlie
Kirk.
Erika Kirk responded:
“Stop. That’s it. That’s all I
have to say. Stop.”
The controversy grew after Blake Neff, a producer for The
Charlie Kirk Show, criticised Owens’ claims in a YouTube video on Dec. 3, 2025.
Neff also said that a group of Charlie Kirk’s friends would live-stream their
response on Dec. 15, 2025. Erika Kirk later announced that the live stream
would be postponed to allow for her private meeting with Owens.
“We were brother and sister,”
she said.
“We
were fortified. Our relationship was forged in fire – the fire of politics. I
knew him. I knew Charlie. The real Charlie. And Charlie knew the real Candace.”
Candace Owens has a long history with Charlie Kirk. In a
YouTube video posted on Sept. 11, she said she first met Kirk in 2017 when he
was not widely known. Owens said Kirk hired her immediately to work at Turning
Point USA, where she served as communications director until 2019.
Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure and supporter
of former President Donald Trump, was shot and killed on September 10, 2025,
while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Tyler
Robinson, a 22-year-old, has been arrested and faces charges of aggravated
murder and other serious crimes in connection with the shooting.
