Candace Owens has claimed that Cabot Phillips, a senior editor at The Daily Wire, reached out to a Turning Point USA chapter at Utah Valley University and asked to speak on campus "free of charge."

Candace Owens shared a viral screenshot of an alleged Instagram direct message from Cabot Phillips. It read,

"Hey guys! My name is Cabot Phillips, I am a host and commentator for The Daily Wire. I am starting to schedule my Fall Semester speaking tour and should be in your area in late September or October. If you are looking for a speaker this semester, I am happy to stop by your campus for an event, free of charge. Just let me know and we can get the ball rolling on logistics!"

Candace Owens reposted the viral screenshot through her X handle and wrote,

"On August 14th, Cabot Phillips of the Daily Wire reached out to Utah Valley University's Turning Point chapter and requested to speak on their campus in late September "free of charge". He is now on a Fight Like Charlie tour."

Netizens reacted, saying,

"Cabot Phillips? The same Cabot Phillips that used to date Erika, that Cabot Phillips?"

Netizens' reactions to Candace Owens claiming the Daily Wire editor tried to speak at UVU for free

Multiple X (formerly Twitter) users jumped into the comment section of Candace Owens' post to pen their opinions on the matter. Below are some of their reactions:

"It would be interesting to find out if Shapiro encouraged Cabot to reach out to them to set that up. 👀", stated a netizen.
"Since he is Erika Kirk's ex-boyfriend and still has pictures of himself up on his page with pizza 🍕tattooed on his inner lip, and it is real, I'd just like to understand why she said she did not date or drink for five years as initially I defended her and there is other boyfriends and photo shoots too. Why would she not be honest? Can we talk about the elephant in the room? Thank you.", commented another.
"So now you are implying that @cabot_phillipswas involved in Charlie's death, but you didn't have the guts to tag him in that smear job? Your hatred of @benshapiro is leading you to dark places.", wrote a third.

Others also chimed in:

"How predictable and lazy of you Candace Owens. Ben called you out at AmFest so now you are going to accuse him of killing Charlie. Add him to your long list: Israel, France, Egypt, Trump, French Foreign Legion, people wearing maroon and the bees.", shared an X user.
"Oh here comes a new banger from the grifter in chief. Get this guys, super squirrelly top secret. Daily Wire, in conjunction with the state of Utah, Egyptian planes, mussad, French legionnaires, Erica Kirk, and Charlie's actual security team coordinated to kill Charlie. She knows, because even though he has not talked to her for months, they were BFF and he is talking to her from beyond the grave. If you don't believe this.", penned another.
"Erika's ex boyfriend slid right into Charlie's place. Interesting timing. How…peculiar.", added a third.

As of now, Cabot Phillips has not officially spoken up on the issue.
