Candace Owens has been branded “pure evil” after she teased a new series “investigating” Erika Kirk, the latest in a vicious series of attacks made on Charlie Kirk’s widow by the conspiracy-peddling podcaster.
The teaser trailer for the “Bride of Charlie,” which Owens, 36, shared on X, opens with news coverage of the late conservative influencer’s assassination last September, before switching to coverage of Erika, 37, following his death.
The trailer features critical clips of Erika, who took over as Turning Point USA (TPUSA) CEO following her husband’s murder, and also makes references to “Zionists” and Israel.
The teaser ends with a depiction of Erika wearing a crown.
Erika is attending the State of the Union on Tuesday as one of President Trump’s guests.
Understandably, the teaser trailer’s release on Monday has sparked horrified reactions.
“Pure, unadulterated, f–king evil. Who in God’s name would put a woman whose husband was brutally assassinated in front of the entire world through this? I am so upset by this, I am just so deeply sorry Erika and her family have to be put through this,” media pundit Meghan McCain wrote on X.
Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro also branded Owens as “evil” in a 10-minute video he shared on X.
“What would Charlie have to say about this? And what would he think of his so-called friends who can’t summon the courage to say it for him?” Seth Dillon from the Babylon Bee wrote on X.
“We have no comment. The series will speak for itself, and you can watch the premiere episode [Wednesday],” a spokesperson for Candace Owens told The Post, when asked about the backlash to the trailer.
An Owens spokesperson later sent over a separate statement to The Post.
“LOL. There isn’t any backlash outside of the Zionist bubble—which has no influence. People are excited to watch, and we are looking forward to presenting what we’ve discovered about Mrs. Kirk,” the spokesperson said.
Neither TPUSA nor Erika have made public statement about Owens’ series.
Owens has made a series of outlandish claims about Kirk’s widow since his death, age 31, with their feud escalating despite a summit between the pair in December.
It comes as Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, failed in his bid to get top prosecutors thrown off his murder case.
Robinson, 22, faces the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 shooting at Utah Valley University in Orem.
His legal team sought to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office from prosecuting the case because one of the prosecutor’s daughters was in the audience when Kirk was shot — but a judge tossed the case.
