"I understand why she'd want to take this meeting because she wants to put it to rest, and I understand because I think she's discovered by now that it's not going away anytime soon, began Lahren, referring to Owens's continued suggestion that everyone from the Israeli government to Kirk's Turning Point USA to the U.S. military was involved in the assassination."
"I wouldn't give this other person any content because that's what this person is going to use it forcontent. Because when you have nothing else to talk about, when you're not talking about conservative policy, we are not talking the conservative agenda or talking about the college conservatives on campus, which is what TPUSA does, right? You need content, and you need to use other people for your content because you're a vulture!"
"And that's the unfortunate part about social media. There used to be a time in media where if you said horrible, disgusting things, you didn't have much of a platform anymore because nobody would touch you. But then social media happened and YouTube happened, and suddenly you can say awful, horrible things and you can still have an audience and you could make a lot of money."
Erika Kirk faces persistent conspiracy claims linking her husband's murder to the Israeli government, Turning Point USA, and the U.S. military. A private meeting with Candace Owens would risk granting Owens additional sensational content to amplify. Owens has repeatedly promoted unfounded theories about Charlie Kirk's assassination that continue circulating online. Feeding such content can financially benefit conspiracy promoters through social and video platforms. Social media and YouTube allow individuals who spread harmful claims to maintain large audiences and monetize their statements. Refusing private engagement can deprive those individuals of material to exploit and reduce incentives to continue the claims.
