Candace Owens questions Blake Neff over Erika Kirk TPUSA leadership video after Charlie Kirk death (Image via Getty)
Candace Owens publicly challenged Turning Point USA producer Blake Neff this week as the fight around late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk and the organization’s leadership battle continued to grow online. The argument happened on X after Blake Neff shared screenshots criticizing Candace Owens for repeatedly posting videos and livestreams targeting TPUSA and Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk. In his post, Blake Neff pointed to several thumbnails from Owens’ recent “Candace” episodes, including videos discussing Erika Kirk, Jeffrey Epstein theories, donor accusations, and claims about betrayals inside conservative circles. He also included an older screenshot where Owens called Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing “a literal deranged stalker” after her firing from the company.Soon after, Owens fired back directly at Neff. She questioned why TPUSA still had not released a reported video where Charlie Kirk allegedly named Erika Kirk as the future CEO and chairman if something happened to him. Owens wrote, “Really great to have you here Blake, any chance you can comment on why you won’t release the video of Charlie announcing that he wanted Erika to become the CEO and Chairman if he died? Donors claim this never happened. Seems pretty easy to clear up.”
Candace Owens and Blake Neff clash over Charlie Kirk succession video and TPUSA leadership claims
The exchange quickly turned more personal after Blake Neff reposted an earlier response he had made to Owens in April. In that message, Neff strongly rejected her claims and accused her of ignoring evidence connected to TPUSA and Erika Kirk’s leadership.Neff wrote, “Candace, we haven’t bothered playing it because we know psychopathic predators like yourself do not care what is true or false and normal evidentiary logic has no effect on you. We gave up the possibility of any good faith conversation with you months ago. It’s like trying to reason with a maniac brandishing a knife.”The public fight is part of a much larger split inside conservative media circles following Charlie Kirk’s death in late 2025. Since then, Owens has repeatedly questioned how leadership changed inside TPUSA and whether donors were fully informed about succession plans involving Erika Kirk.Meanwhile, Blake Neff and other TPUSA supporters have defended Erika Kirk and accused Owens of using conspiracy-driven content to attack the organization for views and attention. TPUSA supporters also argue that releasing private internal material would only create more harassment and online chaos.Owens’ supporters continue demanding proof that Charlie Kirk officially approved Erika Kirk as his successor before his death. On the other side, TPUSA supporters believe Owens is fueling unnecessary drama while turning a private tragedy into public content. The argument has now become one of the biggest online conservative movement feuds, with both sides continuing to trade accusations, screenshots, and public statements across X and livestream platforms.
