Candace Owens slammed by Laura Loomer for claiming Erika Kirk should hire her amid Charlie Kirk row; ‘schizophrenic’
Laura Loomer, longtime Donald Trump ally, has slammed Candace Owens amid the podcaster's ongoing row with Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk.
Candace Owens appears to have locked horns with Erika Kirk again. The conservative podcaster and the Turning Point USA CEO appeared to have reached a truce last year, after the trading barbs over Owens' incessant conspiracy theories in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination.
The TPUSA founder, and Erika's husband, was fatally shot while attending an event at the Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. Owens has since had many theories including alleging Israeli involvement and implicating TPUSA's upper leadership, all without providing any proof. Recently, she's accused Erika of the same, and even made allegations about her marriage with Charlie over the presence of a wedding photo in the background. To top it off, Owens has also levelled allegations of ‘grooming’ against the TPUSA CEO.

Amid such acrimony, Owens' recent claim on her podcast has incurred the wrath of far-right activist and longtime Donald Trump supporter, Laura Loomer.
What Laura Loomer said about Candace Owens
Taking to X, Loomer wrote “After accusing Erika Kirk and TPUSA of killing Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens is now claiming Erika is a billionaire and that she and TPUSA should hire Candace Owens.”
She added that this was ‘schizophrenic behavior’. Loomer also shared a clip of the relevant portion.
In the video, Owens can be heard saying that TPUSA should put her on a ‘monthly retainer’ and noting that they are rich, and have ‘millions’.
Loomer doubled down, saying in a follow-up post “why are you begging TPUSA to hire you? Didn’t you marry a rich guy from England? Did he make you sign a prenup? Doesn’t he love you enough to let you keep your humility so you can stop embarrassing yourself online begging for attention and selling bad merch?.”
She further said “It’s time for for TPUSA and Mrs Erika Kirk to sue Candace Owens and get a restraining order against her. She is belligerent. One minute she hates Erika, then she’s begging her to hire her. Now she’s making a whole series about Erika called “Fatal Attraction” she said. It’s demented. Candace is not well.”
Owens' allegations of ‘grooming’, that were levelled against Kirk, have also drawn backlash. “Candace Owens’ rhetoric is radicalizing unstable people against Erika Kirk. Her fans now believe that Erika is an ‘evil child groomer.’ All it takes is one of them to pop off and create another tragedy. Influencer refusing to forcefully call out Candace by name are cowards,” one person wrote.
Another added, “Candace Owens is going to get Erika Kirk murdered when one of her insane cult members decides to exact 'justice' for Charlie. I’m not kidding. This must stop now.”
