On September 25, Candace Owens reacted to Ian Carroll’s post where he called out TPUSA for allegedly lying about Charlie Kirk’s UVU event. In her recent episode, Candace shared a timeline showing how Charlie Kirk’s event at Utah Valley University was planned. She claimed that TPUSA’s representative reached out to UVU’s club president and requested them to plan an event in the courtyard.

Ian Carroll supported Owens’ claims, stating that TPUSA has been dishonest for over a year since Charlie’s death by falsely asserting that UVU requested the event. In his recent X post, Ian said:

“If you’re not getting it yet- TPUSA told us the local chapter asked to host the event. Turns out that was a lie- TPUSA headquarters reached out to the UVU chapter to specifically tell them to ask to schedule the event specifically for that time and location.”

He went on to say that these claims align with being a ‘planned’ assassination. Ian Carroll wrote:

“The subtext is that this aligns with it being a planned assassination. You would need to pick the time and place- and TPUSA has told us for a year now that the kids at UVU requested the event so how could it be a planned assassination.”

He added:

“Turns out someone in TPUSA picked the time and place. And then they lied about it publicly for a year. Yeah. That’s extremely damning.”

Candace Owens reacted to Ian’s post, saying that Turning Point USA gaslit her for a year. She reiterated that TPUSA headquarters requested that his event be held at UVU on September 10 last year. Owens added that she felt 'weird' about how quickly Charlie's event was organized.

“They gaslit me for a year when I instantly said there was something weird about how quickly this event came together. They represented to the public that the chapter requested it. No. Headquarters requested it and were being vague to the Chapter Leader about it.”

Candace Owens claims UVU flagged Charlie Kirk’s event

In her September 25 podcast episode, Owens shared the timeline of how Charlie Kirk’s event was planned. She also highlighted that the free speech committee at UVU flagged the event for security reasons. She added that the university highlighted several issues, including protests, crowd management, and access control.

Candace Owens also shared that the free speech committee allegedly received an anonymous call to cancel Charlie Kirk’s event.

For those unaware, Charlie was shot at UVU while he hosted his TPUSA event. Tyler Robinson is the murder suspect in Kirk’s murder.
