Candace Owens is picking apart a claim Erika Kirk made at a Turning Point USA event.
In the Thursday, March 5, episode of her Bride of Charlie series, the political commentator, 36, addressed the remark that the Turning Point USA CEO, 37, made about being “the sole provider for my children” since her husband Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in September.
“It frustrates me because what it truly does is it discounts who Charlie was. How genius he was, how financially savvy he was,” the podcast host remarked. “She’s trying to relate like she’s just like a single mom and trying and working a 9 to 5, working at a restaurant trying to make ends meet for her children, and the father’s gone.”

Owens claimed that the mom of two wasn’t “being clear here” about Charlie’s life insurance policies, “which she would have benefited tremendously from.”
“Erika was set to receive $10 million from his work policy. So, this is an insult to Charlie because it implies he had nothing, did not have their affairs at all,” she stated. “Like, he just had kids and was just like, ‘Oh, well, if anything happens to me. I hope my wife is able to assume my role.’”

“No, Charlie always had his financial house in order. Investments, whether he was investing in real estate, he had trust for their children, a life insurance policy would have been a no-brainer for him,” Owens added. “And like I said, she benefited to the tune of millions.”
Additionally, Owens pointed out that “millions were raised” for Erika and her kids “by complete strangers online” as well as from friends like Tucker Carlson.
“She wants you to believe that she is just like you, only worse off because she’s a single mom trying to survive for the sake of her kids with a private jet and drivers,” Owens said. “This girl doesn’t even touch her own door handles, just to be clear. She’s constantly got oh, also a fleet of security, but she’s just like you. You know, ‘this is the hand I was dealt. I’m the only provider, so I got to get on my private plane and speak.’”
