Shock jock Candace Owens has continued her conspiratorial crusade into the potential other causes of Charlie Kirk's assassination, by launching a scathing attack on his widow Erika Kirk.

Kirk's close friend has spent the four months since his death pushing a variety of conspiracies relating to his killing, insinuating that everyone from the state of Israel to members of his own organization, Turning Point USA, were involved in the shooting.

The 36-year-old commentator has now leaked alleged audio from just weeks after Kirk was shot dead while speaking to a crowd at a Utah Valley University TPUSA event, in which widowed Erika can supposedly be heard laughing and discussing merchandise sales.

"It is the general tone that is off-putting, it is the laughter that is off-putting, we are not even two weeks after watching your husband be assassinated," Owens said after sharing the alleged audio of a TPUSA work call.

This leak is a further sign that Owens is not walking back the many theories she has espoused about Kirk's killing, despite having a four-and-a-half hour sit-down with 37-year-old Erika in December, who had hoped to squash their beef.

Erika characterized this meeting as a 'a very productive conversation', with CNN reporting that the widow came with a lawyer and phone records that disproved some of the claims being made by Owens, one of her husband's closest friends.

But Owens has continued to boost theories that people other than suspected shooter Tyler Robinson, 22, were responsible for Erika's husband's death and that he was 'betrayed' by those close to him. This has led the conservative commentator to step up her attacks against TPUSA, which Erika was made CEO of in the wake of her husband's killing.

On Tuesday night, Owens shifted her focus to Erika's response in the weeks after his death, saying her tone 'makes my skin crawl,' in a number of alleged calls with her TPUSA staff as they worked 20-hour days in the aftermath of the shooting.

After mentioning that employees had '50,000 hat orders' to fulfill and 300,000 new donors, a voice that Owens claims to be Erika in the leaked audio calls it a 'blessing' and adds: "It's weird to say that I'm excited, I really hesitate to say that, it's really hard to say that... but it comes from a place of peace knowing that God's using this and we are humbly witnessing the gospel in real time."

"I just thought she would be more upset," Owens said after leaking the alleged audio of Erika's call with TPUSA employees.

Owens also took her attack on Erika and TPUSA to X, where she claimed: "I’m still stuck on the fact that Turning Point raised a quarter billion over a few months and felt zero shame attacking YouTubers for making 'thousands of dollars' discussing the flaws of the investigation.

"The shamelessness of that PR strategy is absolutely wild to reflect on."

UNILAD has reached out to Turning Point USA for comment.
