• Morgan compares Owens to Alex Jones, suggests she's getting wealthy spreading theories
• Owens maintains TPUSA members engaged in "cover-up" but offers no concrete evidence
• Clash follows private meeting between Owens and Kirk's widow earlier this week

NEW YORK, NY (TDR) — Candace Owens erupted at Piers Morgan on Wednesday after he suggested she was profiting by peddling conspiracies about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Kirk, the founder of the conservative group Turning Point USA, was shot and killed in September while speaking at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the killing.

Owens maintains that Robinson was not the shooter and has implied that the Israeli government was involved in Kirk's assassination. This week, the conservative podcaster met with Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, who had pleaded with Owens to stop propagating baseless theories about his murder.

Morgan Invokes Alex Jones Comparison

During her appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the British host pressed Owens on whether financial incentives were driving her increasingly conspiratorial claims about the high-profile assassination.

"I just know you're saying a huge amount of stuff," Morgan told her. "It's making you very wealthy, millions and millions of people coming in."

Morgan then cited conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who spread false claims about "crisis actors" following the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

"It turned out he'd been spewing deliberate lies. And every time he spewed them, they found he made hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in the immediate aftermath of spewing the repeated lies that it was all staged and the families were actors and so on, which he knew to be lies."

Jones ultimately faced a billion-dollar defamation judgment for his false claims about the massacre.

Owens Denies Financial Motive

Owens vehemently rejected the comparison, denying any profit motive behind her coverage of Kirk's death.

"Did I sign a new advertiser? Are we reading more ads? Did we put this somewhere else? Did we sign a book deal? No," she fired back.

When Morgan noted that YouTube viewership directly translates to revenue, Owens exploded.

"Piers, money on YouTube? Are you kidding me? I was already a top-10 podcast globally before Charlie was assassinated," she said. "And if you think that I would want my friend to be assassinated so I could go from being in the top five to being number one, you're out of your mind."

Claims Without Evidence

Morgan also pressed Owens on her allegations that members of Turning Point USA were involved in either the killing or a subsequent cover-up.

"When you say that somebody at Turning Point USA, Charlie's company, was complicit in his murder, who? Who was?" Morgan demanded.

Owens acknowledged telling Erika Kirk that two current TPUSA employees warranted scrutiny but admitted she lacked proof.

"Because I don't have concrete evidence is the reason why I'm not naming them," Owens said.

"So you have no evidence, but you're telling the widow that these two people may have been involved in the murder," Morgan responded.

A MAGA Movement Divided

The clash comes amid a bitter divide within conservative media over Owens's theories. Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at an outdoor campus event, struck by a single bullet fired from a rooftop approximately 142 yards away. Robinson surrendered to authorities the following day after his father recognized him from photographs released by investigators.

Owens, who served as TPUSA's communications director from 2017 to 2019, has drifted from mainstream conservatism in recent years. Her increasingly strident criticism of Israel has drawn condemnation from Jewish groups and conservative figures alike.

Some MAGA podcasters, including Steven Crowder and Tim Pool, have accused Owens of exploiting Kirk's death for views — allegations she has vociferously denied.

Will Owens's conspiracy theories ultimately damage her standing among conservatives, or will her audience continue to grow?
