Candace responded publicly, posting that she was “very much looking forward to this discussion.”
Candace’s speculation and theories regarding Charlie’s murder have caused problems for Erika and her team, who had been planning the continuation of her husband's work after his death.
Candace Owens and her theories regarding Charlie Kirk’s death
Candace has alleged that Charlie was betrayed by close friends, suggested a multinational conspiracy involving Israel and France was responsible for his killing, and accused the Egyptian military of tracking Erika for years.
She mentioned on her podcast that just a simple call from Erika asking her to stop her "investigation" of Charlie's death would make her stop.
Giving his view on the matter, Tucker Carlson, a friend of Charlie, said that he is now on board with Candace's idea of Egyptian jets following Erika when he was interviewed by comedian Theo Von on his podcast.
