Candace Owens' Charlie Kirk comments trigger viral reaction
The latest backlash intensified after a widely shared post on X criticised Owens for centring herself in the discussion surrounding Charlie Kirk's death. The post claimed that her recent remarks had gone beyond previous allegations and accused her of making the tragedy about herself.
The viral post read:
"WOW 😮
Candace Owens is now saying that Charlie Kirk might’ve been killed because he refused to kill her‼️
Instead of dialing things back after the preliminary hearing she’s dialing things up with even more outrageous claims than ever. And she’s psychotically referring to herself in the third person while doing so.
Her entire fake “investigation” has been all about making Charlie’s death all about her.
She disrespects and smears everyone else grieving his loss including his wife and tries to establish herself as the only one grieving.
Now she’s trying to convince her fans that Charlie’s assassination wasn’t even about him. It was all about her. Going so far as to say that Charlie was killed because he wouldn’t help kill her.
This is obviously ridiculous for many reasons. But in the eyes of her devoted cultists Candace Owens is the most important figure on earth and they literally believe that she’s dodging assassins daily like John Wick or some sort of action movie star."
The post quickly spread across social media, drawing thousands of reactions as users debated both Owens' statements and the criticism directed at her.
