Allie Beth Stuckey Critiques Candace Owens’ Theories on Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Murder
Christian influencer Allie Beth Stuckey responded to Candace Owens’ assertion that she is unconcerned about who was responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk — and that the activist’s death was an “inside job.”
Stuckey, who is seen by the Wall Street Journal as a potential successor to lead his non-profit, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), addressed Owens’ recent comments that she was not “worried” about seeking justice for Kirk’s killer. (Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10. Two days later, Tyler Robinson was identified as the shooter and taken into custody.)
“I initially didn’t want to respond to Candace, but her accusation that I don’t care about who killed Charlie genuinely hurt me because I expressed concern for the lives of those implicated in her series on his murder,” Stuckey, 33, wrote on X on Wednesday, November 12, alongside a video from her “Relatable” podcast.
Stuckey countered Owens, 36, saying, “That couldn’t be more inaccurate. Charlie was my friend. He supported me, prayed for me, and offered guidance when I needed it. We united for the gospel, and I deeply miss that. I truly care about justice for him.”
She continued: “However, who cares about justice for Charlie more than anyone else? His family. His friends and colleagues who were by his side every day.”
Stuckey expressed confidence that Kirk’s close friends are “asking the right questions to the right people in a proper way” as they investigate Kirk’s murder.
She emphasized her hope that they are doing so without raising suspicion against innocent individuals, and in a way that does not impede the actual investigation into who was involved in Charlie’s death.
Stuckey remarked, “I want to see due process unfold without obstruction,” seemingly critiquing Owens’ tendency to point fingers without considering the ramifications.
“Yes, I genuinely feel for those who have been wrongly accused by implications of guilt. That is alarming, serious, and unjust,” Stuckey added. “Above all, I care about how Christians pursue truth.”
She stated that simply “asking questions,” a practice Owens has engaged in in her YouTube series about Kirk’s death, “isn’t an excuse for slander.”
“The God who created us and judges our words has much to say about how we communicate and what we seek,” Stuckey continued.
Stuckey elaborated on her concerns regarding Owens’ claim, made on her YouTube series, that she wasn’t “worried” about Kirk, noting the disparity in their resources.
“I can’t compete with secret sources. Candace has mentioned unnamed sources within the government and Turning Point,” Stuckey claimed. “I do not possess any secret sources… Charlie hasn’t appeared to me in a dream.”
Owens had previously stated on X on October 19 that she believes “Charlie was betrayed. By everyone,” adding that his murder was “an inside job.”
“When we bring such serious allegations to light, it’s important,” Stuckey mentioned on her podcast regarding Owens’ remarks about people she suspects are involved in an alleged cover-up. “I would want others to stand up for me.”
She concluded, “I just don’t think this approach is right, creating suspicion against people in this manner.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Owens for her response.
