Right. This is a tweet breaking news. The Charlie Kirk show has crashed in the rankings, falling to number 94 on Apple Podcasts, even though it routinely held the top 10 spot in the past and even reached number one when Kirk was alive. The reason for that is simple. It is clear. People are telling you how they feel and they feel that you are not being honest."Candace Owens continued:"They feel that they are not getting the truth from the very people who keep trying to market themselves as his closest friends. And I'm saying marketing intentionally because it feels as though they have transformed into a badly run PR firm from the early 2000s, where you try to use celebrities to influence the public. You get like, you know, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake to wear your denim. And everybody just then starts wearing denim, right? And I will add on to this that I certainly myself am compelled."Enthusiasts and internet users soon reacted to her statement. One X (formerly Twitter) user stated:"@RealCandaceO gleefully tells you how The Charlie Kirk Show has fallen in viewership while talking about how successful her show is. Yeah Candace, THE HOST FUCKING DIED. But don't let that slow you down in promoting yourself you spiteful bi**h."Another wrote:"It's dropped in viewership because the brand he built has effectively been stolen from him and is in the process of being perverted."Following the comments and backlash from Andrew Kolvet and others, Candace Owens issued an official statement via her official X (formerly Twitter) profile, saying:"I take back nothing. Charlie’s goal in his political life was to become the “next Rush Limbaugh”. If you think Rush Limbaugh would have sat around trying to convince blue collar Americans that questioning the JFK narrative was “demonic” or “evil” or that he would have directed listeners to “STOP” asking questions about his assassination, then you have no idea what Rush, or Charlie was made of and why they moved the masses."Candace Owens also added:"The current ‘Charlie Kirk show’ does not provide even so much of as a respectable shadow of his fighting spirit. And there are not enough Bari Weiss’ in the world to emotionally manipulate me or the common-sense driven public into thinking otherwise. 🤷‍♀️"For further updates on the matter, fans can keep an eye on the official Candace Owens and TPUSA pages.Also Read: "A woman winning too much": Netizens react as Taylor Swift slams critics who tell her to "give someone else a turn""Tyler Robinson is relying on you": Internet reacts as Candace Owens says she is "in a bad mood", seemingly because of Bari Weiss and Erika Kirk"He is the devil himself": Internet erupts after 50 Cent says more unseen Diddy footage will be released on YouTube
