A public feud erupted between conservative personalities Candace Owens and Laura Loomer following Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Owens criticized the slain activist’s widow, Erika Kirk, for denouncing conspiracy theories, prompting Loomer to defend Erika and accuse Owens of jealousy. Authorities maintain a single suspect is in custody, yet the dispute highlights the increasingly personal fallout.
The fallout surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination has taken yet another dramatic turn, this time pulling two high-profile conservative personalities into a public feud. On December 10, Candace Owens used her podcast to criticize Erika Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of the slain activist, after Erika denounced the conspiracy theories swirling around her husband’s killing. Owens suggested Erika had “missed the mark,” signaling yet another escalation in her long list of unproven theories that have pointed fingers at everyone from foreign intelligence agencies to the US military. But her comments did not go unchallenged. Conservative commentator Laura Loomer fired back almost immediately, igniting a new wave of tension within the right-wing media space.

Erika Kirk had recently spoken out on Fox News, urging the public to stop amplifying conspiracies about her husband’s September 10 assassination at Utah Valley University. Her stance directly contradicted Owens, who has repeatedly floated dramatic and consistently unsupported claims since the shooting. Owens addressed Erika’s remarks on her own show, saying she believed Kirk’s widow had “missed the mark,” but added the “good news” was that she finally had clarity about Erika’s plans for TPUSA moving forward.Ahead of the episode, Owens teased her followers on X with, “Erika Kirk GOES OFF on ‘conspiracy theorists’ (read: me)… And to be honest, it’s weird.” That post set the stage for what would become a heated exchange.Loomer, who has criticized Owens multiple times in the past, responded forcefully. Sharing Owens’ post, she wrote, “As I have been saying, Candace Owens @RealCandaceO is jealous Charlie Married Erika instead of her.” She then urged Owens to back off, adding, “Hasn’t she suffered enough? This is ghoul behavior.” Loomer’s comments resonated widely, with many echoing the sentiment that Owens’ repeated accusations, none supported by evidence, were compounding the distress of a grieving widow. Owens has not directly responded to Loomer, but she continues to hint that she will release more “information” related to Kirk’s death.Meanwhile, authorities maintain that Tyler Robinson, currently in custody, is the sole suspect. As official investigations proceed, the public feud between Owens and Loomer underscores how polarized and personal the fallout from Kirk’s assassination has become.Also Read: Candace Owens intensifies controversy with new claims dragging Charlie Kirk’s security provider in new assassination claims
