Andrew Kolvet slams Candace Owens' claims about Israeli links after TPUSA move; ‘laughably untrue’
Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet shut down Candace Owens' claims about ‘money’ from Israel amid an invitation to The Charlie Kirk Show.
Turning Point USA is finally responding after Candace Owens has made numerous claims implicating they had roles to play in Charlie Kirk's assassination. Owens, a former TPUSA member herself, had said that she believed people closest to Kirk had betrayed him and had promised to name names. Soon after this, TPUSA invited her to appear on The Charlie Kirk Show and discuss these theories, for which Owens has not provided any proof. TPUSA spokesperson, Andrew Kolvet, meanwhile shut down her claims about ‘money’ from Israel offered to TPUSA and him.
Notably, Owens has had numerous theories in the wake of Kirk's killing at the Utah Valley University on September 10, and many of them have involved TPUSA. One claimed that they deliberately held the event outside, despite the university suggesting it be held inside. However, Owens has not backed these claims up with any proof.

The claim Kolvet was responding to was that a ‘close family friend’ of his allegedly reaching out to Owens to tell her that Andrew Kolvet ‘lost out on millions’ when Kirk rejected the deal with Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this year.
What Andrew Kolvet said about Candace Owens' claims
Kolvet was replying to a person who'd shared an excerpt of Owens' clip and wrote “LOL. This is laughably untrue.”
He went on to claim there was never any money from Netanyahu. “There was never any Bibi Bucks. Neither Israel nor Netanyahu ever offered, and Charlie wouldn’t have accepted if they did (literally have a Board rule against accepting foreign $),” the TPUSA spokesperson added.
“And I certainly wouldn’t have made any money off of it,” he concluded.
Blake Neff, who invited Owens to Kirk's show wrote on X today “For the past three months, we've received a flood of questions about Candace Owens and her claims attacking Charlie's closest friends. For three months, we preferred to remain silent, but the attacks have not stopped.”
Owens is yet to respond to TPUSA's invitation.
