Erika Kirk has one phrase for Candace Owens, who has been peddling conspiracy theories about her late husband, Charlie Kirk: “Cease.”
In a city corridor, CBS Information editor-in-chief Bari Weiss requested Charlie Kirk’s widow what she desires to say to Owens and others who’re making unfounded claims about his assassination:
“Cease. That is it. That is all I’ve to say. Cease.”
Owens used to work for Turning Level USA, the conservative youth group based by Charlie Kirk. The 2 have been typically thought of associates, with Owens describing their relationship as akin to that of a “brother and sister.”Â
A day after his assassination in September, she posted a virtually 25-minute video, saying she needed him to be remembered for his profession and concepts. However within the months since, Owens has pushed conspiracy theories about his homicide and made unfounded fraud allegations concerning the funds at Turning Level, which Erika Kirk now runs.
The Treasury Division despatched Erika Kirk a letter final week, confirming that not one of the tax-exempt entities she oversees are beneath investigation by the IRS. “The IRS is ready to present the sort of data upon request by the taxpayer. And on this case, it is hideous that malicious lies and smears obligated [Erika Kirk] to make the request,” a senior Treasury official instructed CBS Information.
Erika Kirk talked extra about her husband, her journey via religion and grief, and the state of the American proper within the CBS Information city corridor. It aired simply days after Charlie Kirk’s ebook, “Cease, within the Identify of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Rework Your Life,” was posthumously launched.
An prolonged model of the dialog will air on CBS Information 24/7 on Sunday at 9 a.m., 3 p.m., 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET, and will likely be out there on CBS Information’ YouTube channel.
