Candace Owens is a conservative political commentator who has made a career off her most controversial takes. Her divisive comments and nature have positioned her at the top of her very own lane, one that is becoming her newest platform to spread her thinking.

In the latest news about Owens, her ongoing feud with Tim Pool has seemingly hit a crescendo, and she took to X to make her feelings on the matter clear:

“Tim Pool working with the Washington Post on a hit piece about me is just like…peak estrogen. “Her social metrics were low before Charlie died” is almost as delusional as the fake shooting he survived last week.”

Candace Owens’ post was accompanied by an image of what was reportedly a leaked email showing that Pool had in fact spoken with journalists from the Washington Post. The end goal of those discussions was likely a “hit piece” directed toward her. The email mentions that in his conversations with the writer, Tim Pool:

“…accused Candace of purposefully splintering the Right with her claims about Israel, TPUSA and other conservative talking heads such as himself. He also accused putting his safety at risk and of cynically investing conspiracy theories and presenting them with the conventions of true crime storytelling.”

It’s unclear how the situation will play out, although it seems as though Pool is at a disadvantage going up against Owens in this modality of the political arena.


Candace Owens and Tim Pool feud: A timeline

The genesis of the current feud between Candace Owens and Tim Pool is the result of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the political jockeying that took place in the fallout of his death. After he passed, Owens began to lean heavily into conspiratorial theories behind his death on her various platforms.

Her major talking points regarding Kirk’s death over the past few months have included the use of secret underground tunnels as a means of escape by the true killer. She has also highlighted a conspicuous and severe breach in security for Kirk at the college. Additionally, Owens has suggested a potentially nefarious and deeply-rooted coup by Turning Point USA to change their leadership.

Soon after his death, Pool identified Owens’ use of Kirk and the tragedy of his death as more opportunistic than sincere. Recently, Charlie’s bereaved widow, Erika Kirk, has also addressed Candace Owens and others with similar agendas:

"My silence does not mean that I am complacent. My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the hand-picked staff that loved my husband and my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building."

It’s unclear how the feud between Candace Owens and Tim Pool will play out, although it seems likely to get worse before the situation improves.
