Candace Owens sparked fresh debate online after reacting to a New York Times report about President Donald Trump’s reported phone call with Charlie Kirk before Kirk’s death. Soon after Owens shared her thoughts on X, Laura Loomer accused her of suggesting that Trump was responsible for Charlie Kirk’s assassination. However, Owens never directly made that claim. The discussion started after a New York Times article by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported that Trump was unhappy with criticism surrounding the handling of the past files controversy. The report said Trump allegedly called Charlie Kirk after a Turning Point USA event where speakers criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi’s response to the issue. Owens then linked that report to her own timeline of events surrounding Kirk’s death, leading to a wave of reactions online. While many users backed Owens, others strongly disagreed with her comments. As of now, neither Donald Trump nor Erika Kirk has publicly responded to Owens’ latest remarks. Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Candace Owens’ post about Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk draws attention
After the New York Times report surfaced, Candace Owens shared a post on X discussing the reported phone call between Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk. Owens wrote, “Absolutely wild to learn that Donald Trump called Charlie and reprimanded him about his coverage of the Epstein Files. On July 12th, the day after I keep insisting I made a decision to kill Charlie according to our timeline.”The wording caught attention online. However, Owens did not directly accuse Trump of killing Charlie Kirk. Instead, she referenced her own theory and timeline while discussing the reported call. Laura Loomer disagreed with Owens and accused her of constantly changing her claims. In a separate post, Loomer mocked Owens’ comments and questioned her earlier suggestions about who might have been involved. Owens has previously raised questions about the official narrative surrounding Kirk’s assassination, but many of her claims remain unproven.

The exchange between Laura Loomer and Candace Owens quickly spread across social media. Many users rejected Owens’ comments and criticized her theories.One user wrote, “I wonder if Candace latches on to these insane theories because she herself thinks it’s perfectly reasonable to kill somebody if they mildly upset you one time.”Another user posted, “Candace, you’re destroying everything Charlie worked for. Why would you destroy something if you were his friend?”Others defended Owens and said her questions deserved attention. One supporter wrote, “100% agree. I’ve felt for a long time that there is far more to this story than we’ve been told.”Another user added, “Candace is saying what a lot of people are thinking. The timeline is unsettling, and the optics around all of this are terrible.”Despite the heated debate, there is no evidence that Candace Owens directly accused Donald Trump of killing Charlie Kirk. The online argument continues as supporters and critics interpret her comments in different ways.
