Candace Owens has made controversial claims suggesting that Charlie Kirk, the late founder of Turning Point USA, was targeted and pressured in a tense meeting with billionaire Bill Ackman and others in the Hamptons over his views on Israel. Owens alleged that Kirk was offered significant money to soften his criticisms of Israel and that threats were made during this intervention. She implied that Kirk's killing in Utah was not a random act but linked to his political stance and refusal to "fall in line" on Israel. However, these claims have been strongly denied by Bill Ackman, who called Owens' allegations "reckless and false," denying any threats or blackmail. Other people Owens named, including Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, have also rejected Owens' depiction of the events as hostile or coercive. Critics say Owens is propagating conspiracy theories, while Owens maintains she has insider information and challenges those denying her claims to provide evidence. This controversy revolves around conflicting narratives: Owens accuses powerful figures of silencing Kirk due to his political views, while those accused deny any wrongdoing or pressure tactics. The situation remains highly disputed and under public debate following Kirk's death.
