Candace Owens escalates her public dispute with Laura Loomer by posting what she says are private text messages from the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. According to the screenshots Owens shared, Kirk expresses distrust or concern about Loomer and questions her influence within conservative circles. Owens says the alleged messages contradict Loomer’s claims about having a close relationship with Kirk before his death. In response, Loomer denies Owens’s allegations and contests the authenticity or meaning of the material. She also publishes her own evidence and argues that she and Kirk had a longer-standing connection. The controversy has moved from statements between the two women to a broader online debate centered on competing claims and shared “proof” from the parties. The reports describe the dispute as an intensifying back-and-forth involving older messages and disputed relationship details, without any independent verification of the screenshots in the coverage provided.
