Turning Point USA has issued a response to Candace Owens regarding her conspiracy theories that suggest Charlie Kirk’s assassination was orchestrated by high-ranking members within the organization.
On Wednesday, Blake Neff, who has long served as Kirk’s producer, addressed the situation publicly. He criticized Owens for implicating everyone at TPUSA in the tragic event surrounding Kirk’s death.
In a surprising development, Neff challenged Owens to back her claims by inviting her to discuss them live on the Charlie Kirk Show, offering to scrutinize her allegations in real-time.
For several weeks, Owens has been promoting unfounded theories, accusing Kirk’s inner circle of involvement in his assassination and weaving far-fetched tales about Egyptian jets and French paratroopers.
“My friends are facing harassment fueled by Candace’s claims,” Neff remarked, highlighting the impact of her statements.
‘In fact, I would say we have suffered more harassment from these people than we have from Antifa supporters who overtly celebrate Charlie’s murder.’
Neff recounted numerous claims by Owens, including that the atrocity at Utah Valley University on September 10 was an ‘inside job’.Â
He pushed back on Owens’ claims that Kirk’s security team intentionally withheld first aid, her suspicions toward technical staff handling camera equipment, and her wild allegations against TPUSA staff, pastors, and even members of a college soccer team.

Neff emphasized that Owens’ accusations have grown increasingly bizarre, citing references to French paratroopers, Egyptian military planes, underground assassins, and other far-fetched scenarios.Â
He stated that these allegations have fueled online harassment against his colleagues and friends, noting that the hostility stirred up by Owens’ followers has surpassed even what they’ve faced from anti-Kirk activists.Â
Neff also accused Owens of making her claims to ‘manipulate and string along an audience of people who don’t realize they are being played.’Â
However, in a shocking twist at the end of his monologue, Neff invited Owens to appear on the Charlie Kirk show to have her allegations challenged head-on, noting that ‘the ball was in her court.’
The dismantling of Owens’ claims also did not stop with her, as Neff additionally called out her zealous supporters as ‘worse than Antifa.’
Answering the question of why it took so long for TPUSA to address the accusation, Neff noted that Kirk did consider Owens a close friend, and that he believed in being beyond conservative infighting while he was alive.Â
When approached for comment by the Daily Mail about TPUSA’s refutations and if she would accept Neff’s invite to appear on the show, a spokesman for Owens said that she would answer our inquiries live during her next podcast episode on Wednesday.

Donald Trump embraces Erika Kirk, during a memorial service for her husband, slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, September 21
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.
