An old video of Charlie Kirk has resurfaced on X where he is seen defending Candace Owens, calling her “the best” and asserting that “she’s on our team.”
“We’re on Team Candace and I’m also, you know, I’m on Team Freedom,” Charlie says in the interview doing the rounds on X.
Candace shared the video, captioning it, “Charlie always had my back, but especially after the Daily Wire fallout and subsequent media smearing.”

Candace has faced widespread criticism for her conspiracy theories about Charlie’s murder, and for attacking his wife, Erika Kirk, and Turning Point USA in the aftermath of his death. Among various allegations, she accused Erika of removing all episodes of the Charlie Kirk Show from Spotify, Apple, and YouTube shortly after taking over as CEO of Turning Point USA after Charlie’s murder. She also claimed that Charlie removed his wedding ring the night before he was assassinated in Utah.
‘And you repaid that by smearing his legacy’
In the comment section of Candace’s post, Netizens told her that if Charlie had his back, she should have done the same by making the right decisions after his death.
“And you repaid that by smearing his legacy, his family and trying to destroy the organization that he dedicated his life to. With friends like that..,” one user commented, while another wrote, “Would have been nice of you to return the favor.”

“Hey Candace, Charlie and Erika are one flesh. Attacking Erika IS attacking Charlie. Bringing up old videos to justify your attack on his wife is abominable. Charlie would choose his wife over you every day. Stop pretending he would side with you on this,” a user wrote. Another said, “Turns out, Charlie wasn’t perfect. He couldn’t see the vile snake that you have now clearly revealed to the rest of the world. Used to think you were going to change the world. You had me fooled too.”
Charlie, 31, was allegedly shot dead by Tyler Robinson on September 10 during an appearance at a campus event in Utah. The shooting happened around 12:20 pm local time during a student Q&A at UVU in Orem, per a statement from Utah Valley University (UVU).
