Candace Owens claims Turning Point USA tried to silence her after Charlie Kirk’s death using psychological pressure

Candace Owens is again speaking out, and this time she is making a serious claim about a comment she says was meant to harm her mentally. In her latest podcast episode, the conservative commentator said that a warning from Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet was not casual or emotional. She believes it was part of a planned psychological move against her. Candace Owens said the comment came shortly after the death of Charlie Kirk. According to her, Kolvet told her, “It was supposed to be you.”

She now claims that statement was designed to shock her, scare her, and silence her when she was already dealing with grief. She explained that the moment stayed with her because it did not feel natural. Instead, she believes it was meant to weaken her state of mind and make her doubt herself. Owens said she was targeted because she was not controlled by any group and spoke freely, even if it cost her money or support.

Candace Owens accuses Andrew Kolvet and Turning Point USA of running a psychological operation

In the February 5 episode of her podcast, Candace Owens read a message sent by one of her viewers. The viewer wrote, “This is the Truman Show. That’s why Andrew said, ‘Candace, it was supposed to be you.’”

Reacting to this, podcaster Candace Owens said the comment was not random. She claimed it was part of a “very well-planned effort to psychologically traumatize me.” She added, “They were trying to neutralize me psychologically, like I said, because I was the one loose end.”

Candace Owens accused Turning Point USA of pushing influencers to attack her before she could even process Charlie Kirk’s death. She described the situation as a “military-level psyop” and said the pressure came fast and from many sides.

She also claimed the plan failed. Candace Owens said she stayed grounded because she had already studied the work of Sigmund Freud and understood how psychological tactics work. She said her strength also came from her close friendship with Charlie Kirk and thanked her viewers for standing by her.

The claims grew stronger after a former TPUSA employee spoke out. On February 5, Aubrey Laitsch posted a video on X saying she was fired from the organization. She said leaders told her an Uber driver reported that she criticized new leadership. Laitsch believes she was actually fired for questioning Charlie Kirk’s death.

Candace Owens reacted strongly on her podcast. She said, “The idea of being brought into an office and questioned by your boss about something an Uber driver said. What is this Gossip Girl?” She added that these actions looked like loyalty tests and called them deeply disturbing.
