Conservative mouthpieces Candace Owens and Meghan McCain are feuding over the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, and things got really messy after Owens shared one of Kirk's alleged text messages to her.
Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.
Owens and McCain clashed after McCain shared the following message on X:
"Stop sharing dead people’s text messages - you absolute psychopaths."

Owens replied by sharing an alleged text message in which Kirk called McCain "a piece of s**t."

Owens then followed up with a message for McCain:
"Pretending Charlie was friends with Ben Shapiro and filthy neocons like you simply won’t be happening on my watch."

The girls are fighting—and people are living for it.
Owens angered MAGA conservatives just months ago when she shared what she claimed were text messages from Kirk, allegedly written two days before his death, in which he said he planned to “leave the pro-Israel cause.” Andrew Kolvet, the spokesperson for Kirk’s Turning Point USA, confirmed that the messages were "authentic."
In the exchange, Kirk expressed frustration that his organization had “lost another huge Jewish donor,” potentially costing the group “$2 million a year,” after he invited far-right personality Tucker Carlson, who has also been critical of U.S.-Israel relations, to a Turning Point event.
The messages appeared to bolster Owens' earlier claims that Kirk had become disillusioned with the U.S.' support of Israel in his final weeks. Owens also suggested, without offering proof, that Israel may have been involved in Kirk’s death, a claim Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly called “insane."
