‘Candace destroys innocent peoples’ lives’

“If I have proven one thing this week, it’s that Candace Owens can’t handle getting a taste of her own medicine,” Loomer wrote on X. “I hope now she leaves @MrsErikaKirk alone. I am tired of watching Cowards sit back as Candace destroys innocent peoples’ lives with her psychotic conspiracy theories.”

“As I exposed, she can’t take the heat. Glass houses and all. I am not a Christian, but for those of you who are, I believe the Bible says a lot about how you are supposed to DEFEND and PROTECT widows. Not stalk them and viciously mock them and their grieving children who will never have a father,” she continued.

Loomer added, “I don’t like having to roll in the mud with pigs, but I will do that and then some if I have to. People need to be deprogrammed from Klandace, a modern day cult leader whose stochastic terrorism is literally amplified by Russian state media. Courage is much more admirable than grace and forgiveness.”

Owens has faced widespread criticism for her conspiracy theories, and for attacking Erika and Turning Point USA in the aftermath of Charlie’s death. Among other allegations, she accused Erika of removing all episodes of the Charlie Kirk Show from Spotify, Apple, and YouTube shortly after taking over as CEO of Turning Point USA after Charlie’s murder. She also claimed that Charlie removed his wedding ring the night before he was assassinated by Tyler Robinson in Utah.

Charlie, 31, was allegedly shot dead by Robinson on September 10, 2025, during an appearance at a campus event in Utah. The shooting happened around 12:20 pm local time during a student Q&A at UVU in Orem, per a statement from Utah Valley University (UVU).
