“The Oscar goes to Erika”: Nick Fuentes escalates attacks on Erika Kirk and Candace Owens as TPUSA feud spills into public spectacle

“The Oscar goes to Erika”: Nick Fuentes escalates attacks on Erika Kirk and Candace Owens as TPUSA feud spills into public spectacle

Far-right commentator Nick Fuentes has entered the escalating feud between Candace Owens and Turning Point USA, targeting Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk. Fuentes derided her CBS town hall appearance as insincere and argued women shouldn’t be in politics. He also threatened to dismantle Owens’ credibility if TPUSA’s response to allegations proves inadequate, intensifying the public spectacle.

The simmering conflict between Candace Owens and Turning Point USA has taken a sharper turn, with far-right commentator Nick Fuentes inserting himself into the controversy in characteristically provocative fashion. As public scrutiny grows around TPUSA’s response to allegations tied to Charlie Kirk’s murder, Fuentes has shifted focus toward Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, dismissing her recent CBS town hall appearance as performative and insincere. His remarks have intensified an already volatile debate, blending personal mockery, ideological grievances, and broader culture-war rhetoric. What began as a dispute over accountability has now evolved into a highly public, deeply polarizing media clash with no clear off-ramp.

Erika Kirk’s Fiery Warning Sparks Candace Owens’ Clapback — Inside The ‘Conspiracy’ War

Fuentes mocks Erika Kirk’s CBS appearance and broadens his criticism

Fuentes reacted to a preview clip from CBS’ upcoming town hall, where journalist Bari Weiss asked Erika Kirk what message she had for Candace Owens and others accused of spreading false claims. Kirk urged Owens to “stop,” a response Fuentes derided during his Rumble livestream. “Like, dude, oh my, and the Oscar goes to Erika,” Fuentes said, mocking her facial expressions. “Her face, her expression… Like, come on now, it’s enough already; it’s really bad at this point… Nobody is buying this. And look, I am not a Candace Owens fan at all, as you know; that doesn’t mean that this does not stink… Can you just be fu*king normal? It’s obvious that you’re acting… And that is hurting your credibility.”Despite distancing himself from Owens, Fuentes said moments like these prevent him from siding with either camp. He criticized Erika Kirk’s repeated media appearances and suggested both women should step away from public life entirely. In one of his most controversial remarks, he declared:“No one is buying the Candace Owens bulls*ht. No one is buying the Erika Kirk bullsht. In truth, at the end of the day, everyone needs to acknowledge women cannot be in politics… Candace Owens needs to hang it up. No more show. You’re crazy. Erika Kirk, you need to retire. Drop the act. Let a man run Turning Point… You go and grieve. Let’s just stop with the choreography.”Fuentes has also continued attacking Owens for refusing TPUSA’s invitation to appear in person at a livestream addressing her allegations. On X, he mocked her explanation, writing that it was “time to put up or shut up.” He further accused Owens of promoting far-fetched theories for attention, claiming they were “hurting the country.” As TPUSA prepares its livestream response, Fuentes has hinted he may intervene if he finds it unsatisfactory, warning: “If Turning Point is not successful, I am going to put it together, and I am going to blow a gaping fu*king hole in her credibility that she will not recover from.”With rhetoric escalating and grievances hardening, the dispute now appears less about facts and more about control of narrative, a media feud fueled by outrage, spectacle, and personal vendettas rather than resolution.Also Read: Candace Owens highlights viral comment questioning Erica Kirk’s calling out Erica Kirk’s response to her Charlie Kirk’s murderer Go to Source
