Conspiracy theorist Candace Owens took a victory lap celebrating her podcast\u2019s success and shared a sizzle reel that mocked Erika Kirk, the wife of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201c2025 was one helluva year! Beyond grateful to all of you who tuned into the podcast and took us to #1 globally! Can\u2019t wait to get back on air in 2026, as I plan to break another explosive story. Because I\u2019m always one step ahead of my haters\u2014whom I am grateful to as well!<\/p>\n

\"\ufffd\ufffd\"<\/p>\n

\ufffd\ufffd<\/p>\n

,\u201d wrote Owens in a post on X that included a video featuring upbeat music and clips from her show, including one in which she declares: \u201cIsrael and child sex predators \u2014 it\u2019s kind of a thing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Approximately 40 seconds into the sizzle reel<\/a>, a clip of Owens crying about Kirk\u2019s death briefly plays over rap music. Then unflattering images of Kirk\u2019s former colleagues at Turning Point USA \u2014 whom Owens has suggested were involved in a conspiracy against him \u2014 as well as Ben Shapiro\u00a0and Tim Pool are shown. Owens also followed up a shot of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering Kirk, with one of Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy\u2019s assassin, in a hardly subtle suggestion that they were both patsies.<\/p>\n

A few moments later, a clip of Erika Kirk asking Owens to stop spreading conspiracy theories about her husband\u2019s murder plays. The next clip is of Owens replying, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a mid-December appearance<\/a> on Fox News\u2019 Outnumbered, Kirk implored Owens to cease implicating her husband\u2019s close friends in his death.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome after me, call me names \u2014 I don\u2019t care. Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole \u2014 whatever,\u201d Kirk told Harris Faulkner. \u201cBut when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love, and you\u2019re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they\u2019re in on this? No.\u201d<\/p>\n
