Candace Owens has become an increasingly divisive figure due to her controversial takes and conservative worldview. The political commentator and author has created a lane for herself, despite a fair amount of pushback from several communities.In the most recent news about the former The Daily Wire personality, Candace Owens took to her podcast to voice her opinion on Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk. In a segment of her newest podcast episode streamed on December 10, Owens made her feelings clear on Turning Point USA choosing the bereaved Erika to step into the role of CEO after her husband’s tragic shooting.“Well now you’re gonna have to prove that you have the ability to be a CEO and a chairman. And not just a wife, who we expect emotion from. And you’re right in that capacity, you’re rightful to have emotion, you’re rightful to be the aggrieved widow, but you don’t get to just be widowed into the position of chairman and CEO.”She went on to add,“You don’t get to respond to, well, in this case investors, donors, who have given money and are asking meaningful questions with, “No, you, you, don’t get replies right now cause this is the ‘Charlie Kirk Show’ fam. Doesn’t work this way okay.”She previously voiced similar opinions in a video posted to her TikTok, and the situation has since escalated further.Candace Owens, Erika Kirk feudOn the same day that Candace Owens voiced her opinions about Turning Point USA and Erika Kirk’s appointment as CEO, the situation began to become more layered.Erika Kirk made an appearance on FOX News, where she addressed the fallout after her husband’s tragic death as well as the conspiracy theorists who continue to attack her and her family.It should be noted that Charlie Kirk’s death has been a talking point for Owens, who is attempting to prove that it was part of a larger conspiracy at play behind the scenes."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.”She would add,"Come after me. Call me names. I don't care. Call me what you want. Go down that rabbit hole. Whatever. But when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my ‘Charlie Kirk Show’ family.”Once the FOX News interview was made public, Candace Owens was quick to respond. She took to her Instagram Stories to comment on Erika Kirk’s comments, many of which she perceived to be veiled shots in her direction.“Super fun show today. You're probably seeing the clips … it's about me. It's indirect, but it's also about me. And don't worry, in case you think it's not about me, she is going to name check me on stage...”It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, although it seems as though it’s trending in a negative direction.
