The latest on-air feud between Piers Morgan and Candace Owens has generated a wave of notable reactions among fans and enthusiasts. The viral exchange was aired on Piers Morgan Uncensored on December 18, 2025.

Piers Morgan shared a clip from his show via his official X (formerly Twitter) page, captioning,

"Is Candace just ‘asking questions’ - or deliberately fuelling crackpot conspiracy theories with no hard evidence to support them, for clicks and cash? I’m just 'asking a question.'"

In the clip, Candace Owens said,

"My theory is that we should investigate everything strange that happened on that day so we can figure out what happened.vWhy are we pretending we do not know why people ask questions. You are a journalist. You ask what is going on. My theory is that we are being sold absolute fed slop."

She also added,

"The media is doing Operation Mockingbird part two by telling us that unless you already have a conclusion, you cannot even ask the question.. That is why people watch my show. I am not treating them like idiots. I will keep asking consistent questions until we get clear answers. The difference between me and you is that I have the courage to ask the questions first before it is popular."

Netizens reacted to Piers Morgan's statement, saying,

"Piers Morgan lecturing anyone about "clicks and cash" is the irony of the century. 😂The man who hacked phones and chased royals for headlines is now the arbiter of moral journalism? 🤨 Candace is asking the hard questions that the police (and Piers) are ignoring. If the truth gets views, that’s not a crime, it’s a mandate. 🗣️🇺🇸"

Netizens' reactions to Piers Morgan calling out Candace Owens over "crackpot conspiracy theories"

Multiple enthusiasts gathered under Piers Morgan's X post comments to share their opinions on the matter. Below are some of their remarks:

"Just like you insisted no one should ask questions about the Covid vaccine right?", noted an X user.
"It is hard to call it just asking questions when the questions involve Egyptian military planes and disabled transponders with zero flight logs to back it up. At a certain point, investigating starts looking a lot like a business model built on keeping people outraged and subscribed.", penned another.
"Well I am on piers side of this one. Piers just needs a mirror though to see he does the same thing, but with denialism.", shared a third.

Others also chimed in:

"The "just asking questions" defense is BS. She is too smart. She knows exactly what she is doing and it is genuinely evil IMO. Her intent is to stir chaos and inflame political tension.", wrote a netizen.
"If she drops this 'interactive timeline' tomorrow and it is just more screenshots of ads or unrelated flight paths, then we have our answer. But if she actually links those planes to the scene in Provo, then the 'conspiracy' label was premature. The burden of proof is 100% on Candace right now.", commented another.
"You can be skeptical about something just like everyone else. The comments section raised suspicions about the bodyguards due to their questionable conduct. Pushing Candice under the bus is absolutely diabolical; the rest of us think Kirk's death was suspicious. Piers Morgan is attempting to pressure Owens because she is an influential person.", stated a third.

Notably, Candace Owens has said that she would continue investigating until she is "personally satisfied" she knows what happened.
