Outspoken conservative firebrand Erika Kirk, widow of slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, unloaded Wednesday on the "evil" conspiracy mongers who refuse to let her grieve in peace.

The 33-year-old CEO appeared on Fox News’ "Outnumbered" on Wednesday and delivered a blistering rebuke to right-wing influencers spreading wild theories about her husband’s assassination and funeral.

"At this point, it’s the conspiracy collection — get it before Christmas," Kirk said, voice cracking with fury. "If you want to find and pick me apart, go right ahead. I do not care. I don’t. This was happening before Charlie was murdered. Both of us have been through the ringer. But I have seen it firsthand impact the people that I love. And I’m done."

She continued, "My poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again? They watched my husband get murdered. I have no idea how I would have reacted if I was there that day. My team, they are rocked to the core. So why every single day do they have to be dragged through the mud?"

Kirk refused to name names, but the target was obvious: former Turning Point communications director Candace Owens, who has repeatedly questioned why Charlie Kirk was buried in a Catholic cemetery despite not being Catholic.

Blake Neff, producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, announced the staff will deliver a full public rebuttal to Owens’ claims on Dec. 15.

He invited Owens to appear in person or remotely.

Owens initially accepted the invitation, declaring "any time, any place." Then after TPUSA announced a scheduled debate on X, Owens declined, citing a scheduling conflict involving overseas guests and declaring that her husband "runs the household" and refused to let her travel to the event alone without him amid alleged death threats.

The avalanche of criticism against Erika Kirk herself has only grown louder.

Detractors point to her tear-dabbing with a tissue when no tears fall, the leather pants and lingering hug she gave President Vance while running fingers through his hair, and her nonstop media blitz mere weeks after watching her husband gunned down on camera.
