A well-known Christian influencer has fiercely criticized Candace Owens over her conspiracy theories regarding the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Allie Beth Stuckey, recently highlighted by the Wall Street Journal as a potential successor to the late founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), made headlines when she took a stand against Owens on her popular show, Relatable, this past Wednesday.
Taking to X, Stuckey expressed, “I didn’t initially plan to address Candace publicly, but I felt genuinely hurt by her claim that I don’t care about who was behind Charlie’s death because I voiced concern over the individuals implicated in her series on his murder.”
She emphasized her primary concern is “how Christians pursue truth.”
“Merely ‘asking questions’ doesn’t excuse slander. The God who created us and observes our words has much to say about our speech and our pursuits,” Stuckey remarked.
In the wake of Charlie’s passing, Stuckey has been invited to take his place on some stops of his college tour and has also appeared on the Charlie Kirk Show.
Owens has made sweeping generalizations about those close to the TPUSA founder.
‘Charlie was betrayed. By everyone,’ she wrote on X on October 20.

In another cryptic post on September 13, she wrote: ‘Erika knows everything.’
The provocateur has also frequently claimed that ‘a succession plan’ was enacted after Charlie’s death and accused TPUSA of an ‘inside job.’ Erika Kirk is now the charity’s chief executive.
Stuckey said: ‘I’m not saying Candace said “Erika did it” – but when you say “everyone around Charlie betrayed him” and “Turning Point is covering it up,” Erika is the CEO. People are drawing the conclusion that the widow is in on it.’
Other conservatives praised Stuckey for speaking out against Owens’s recent tirades.
David Limbaugh, brother of the now-deceased conservative media titan Rush Limbaugh, wrote on X that he was sending ‘Kudos and respect to Allie Beth Stuckey for her courage and telling the truth in love, modeling Christian behavior.’
He added that, ‘especially lately, she has been among those who are the tip of the spear.’
Josh Hammer, who has been one of Kirk’s friends most directly targeted by Owens, thanked Stuckey for her ‘courage and conviction’ in addressing Owens directly.
Political commentator Erielle Azerrad praised Stuckey as well, adding that her condemnation was something that Megyn Kelly ‘was too much of a moral coward to do.’

Owens told the Daily Mail in a statement: ‘I am pointing out glaring inconsistencies and outright lies that we have been told regarding Charlie’s assassination.’
She branded Stuckey a ‘committed Zionist’ who uses ’emotionally manipulative tactics’ to stop her audience from asking questions.
Owens branded the FBI findings in Charlie’s death ‘ridiculous’.
She concluded by writing, ‘Bullets that are designed to take down a moose are not magically stopped by human necks.’
The bullet that killed Charlie came from a .30-06 caliber rifle, a powerful and commonly used hunting rifle caliber capable of deep penetration and lethality. This was found lodged inside his neck, which Owens claims is suspicious.
Charlie was shot dead on September 10 while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, a left-wing college dropout, has been charged with killing him.
Erika joined President Donald Trump at the White House last month to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously on her husband’s behalf.

Charlie had built Turning Point USA into one of the most influential conservative youth organizations in America, known for its campus activism and annual conferences that drew thousands of young conservatives.
After his death, Erika publicly delivered a statement vowing to carry on his work as the new CEO of the organization.
Trump memorably eulogized Charlie at his memorial service days later and comforted Erika who mourned the loss of her husband.
‘We know the weight of this monumental loss is almost unbearable,’ he said.
‘But even in the midst of heartache and pain too great to even fathom, you have somehow found the strength and deep faith to be a comfort to millions and millions of people.’
More than 60,000 people attended the service, which was held at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals NFL team.
