Update: Apparently, Candace Owens went on tour with TPUSA every year, including last year. We are sorry we didn’t have that information. I don’t think Mr. Bolling knew that either. It’s a large organization and it doesn’t mean Kirk was on board with her. I don’t know. This is just Bolling’s report.
Assassinated conservative Charlie Kirk, who Van Jones calls Mr. Debate, fell out with podcaster Candace Owens after her views became too extreme, according to Eric Bolling.
Eric Bolling, an advisor to Turning Point USA and the former Fox News and Newsmax host, told Patrick Bet-David’s “PBD Podcast” this week that while Kirk and Owens were “tight” more than a decade ago through their work at Turning Point USA, they “had a break-up” because her “theories got just a little bit too down the rabbit holes.”
“It was too extreme for [TPUSA’s] taste,” Bolling said, adding: “Charlie, to his credit, kept a cordial friendship with her for years, but it hasn’t been a communication pipeline between the two for many years.”
Bolling also said Owens does not have a relationship with Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
Owens originally served as TPUSA’s communications director from 2017 until 2019. She also served on Prager’s podcasts. She was a regular on Tucker’s show on Fox, and was a podcaster on The Daily Wire.
On the “PBD Podcast,” Bolling said he last saw Owens in person around 2015 or 2016. He added that she hasn’t been at a TPUSA event for “many years.”
Owens declined to address Bolling’s comments.
Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for TPUSA, told The Post: “Charlie and Candace remained friends.”
Candace thinks Netanyahu was threatening Kirk and trying to bribe him. She implicated Bill Ackman who responded in defense, along with Kolvet. Ackman publicly shared texts with Mr. Kirk and there weren’t any threats in those texts.
Bolling said that what she said about Ackman and Kirk didn’t square with what he knew of Ackman or Kirk.
Bolling believed Tyler had a spotter in front of Charlie, but the man he suspected was arrested, grilled, and released. In the clip, Bolling also describes what happened that day (about 30:19 on the mark).
The FBI is looking into others who might have known of the shooting in advance. They told Axios off the record that the trans furry partner Mr. Twiggs is a person of interest.
I liked Candace when she first appeared in public, liked her YouTube videos and she seemed a good one to me, until she went off the rails. She lost me a while back.
Me too!
I see Owens as more credible than Bolling. Anyhow, what is the point of this? It is mostly gossip. What is the point of him criticizing her? They were both Kirk supporters. They both suspect a plot in the murder.
The point is, he wants to stick up for Israel. You also are preoccupied with her.
candace is this eras ann coulter. a washed up nut job who says and does outlandish things to try to be and stay relevant.
Eric Bolling is lying about Candace and I don’t know why. She was on a speaking tour with Charlie last year and spoke at a TPUSA event several months ago. She even has texts between the two that are very recent. Her and Tucker were both very close to Charlie, yet it seems that everyone wants to tear them down.… Read more »
She certainly did go on a tour this year with TPUSA. Bolling has an agenda, it is building up his operation. But, the tour is supposed to be ignored, we are supposed to believe what they tell us. It is just like the huge criticisms Kirk made of Israel this year. We are supposed to ignore those and believe what… Read more »
I doubt you even read what she actually said. You are one of these that needs to read more and write less. Try writing actual sentences and including thoughts.
At one time Candace was a bright light, but like a nova flamed out.
The “Establishment” is the public’s enemy. Parasites.
Yes, and Bolling is trying to appeal to that establishment.
Since Owens toured with TPUSA this year, we know Bolling is lying.
You failed to cite any inaccuracies in her reporting. You did not follow her words, instead, you follow Bolling’s words. She was associated with TPUSA this year.
What has you all upset is that Owens criticizes your precious precious Israel.
