"I Have Never Blackmailed Anyone" Bill Ackman REBUKES Candace Owens Accusations

comment-1 Created with Sketch Beta.

Candace Owens aired an explosive episode last night in which she covered Charlie Kirk's assassination.

In a record-breaking stream to over 250,000 viewers, Owens critiqued the FBI's offical narrative and exposed Kirk's "secret" Hamptons get together with conservative influencers and billionaire Bill Ackman.

According to Max Blumenthal, Charlie Kirk was invited to the Hamptons by Ackman along with 35 other 'conservative' influencers as a way to intervene of Kirk's shift views on Israel.

"I know that Charlie was offered a ton of money in this moment," said Owens regarding the Hamptons meeting. "And I know for a fact that Charlie denied that funding, that Charlie declined to go to Israel."

Owens repeated shocking claims made by Blumenthal, saying that at the meeting Kirk was "screamed" at, "blackmailed," presented with a list of all of his "offences" against Israel and demanded to rescind his invitation for Tucker Carlson to speak at America Fest 2025.

According to Owens, Kirk was also pressured to take a trip to Israel for "re-education" — something that occurs when high-profile individuals (Kanye West, Elon Musk) question Jewish narratives. All this was facilitated by Jewish billionaire Bill Ackman on behalf of Israel.

"Bill Ackman was very upset, and threats were made!" said Owens. "I'm waiting for one of them to go on record and say that it didn't go this way"

Along with Ackman, Owens called out Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillion, who also attended the Hamptons meeting along with 35 other conservative influencers.

At this point only a handful of the attendees are known to the public. "Nobody is willing to go on record," said Owens as she urged these influencers to come forward and share more details about the Hamptons meet.

Bill Ackman responded to the accusations in a lengthy post, shortly after Owens' episode aired. He denied the accusations of an intervention taking place and blackmail.

"For the record, at no time have I ever threatened Charlie Kirk, Turning Point or anyone associated with him. I have never blackmailed anyone, let alone Charlie Kirk. I have never offered Charlie or Turning Point any money in an attempt to influence Charlie's opinion on anything."

The first half of Ackman's response is him sharing details of how he met Charlie, and in the second half he provides details about the meeting.

Ackman says that a discussion about foreign policy and Israel did occur but he [Ackman] was not in attendance due to a conflicting board meeting.

"Those that attended this session said that the Israel discussion was similar to the other sessions with the attendees expressing varying points of view as well as explaining the views of their followers. Some participants were critical of Israel and U.S. support for Israel, and others were supportive."

Ackman paints the picture that he and Charlie did not even discuss Israel at the Hamptons nor over text. He doest not verify if heated arguments took between Charlie and anyone else (as reported by Blumenthal), instead saying "Some participants were critical of Israel and U.S. support for Israel, and others were supportive."

The response does not provide many answers and has left many wondering why Bill Ackman is interested in swaying the public discourse in the first place.

One thing for sure has finally been verified and it's that 35 conservative influencers were in attendance—we only know of a handful. We need these influencers to come forward and provide more details, to verify Bill Ackman's statement.
