Conservative commentator Candace Owens has questioned Erika Kirk's stated rationale for her withdrawal from a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, pointing to conflicting reports regarding security and attendance.
Owens claimed that ticket sales were low, while event organizers maintained that "serious threats" led to Kirk's last-minute cancellation of the interview with Vice President JD Vance.
However, intelligence sources from the Secret Service have expressed additional concern following the disclosure that "no credible threats" were identified before Kirk's withdrawal from the Turning Point speaking engagement, CBS News reported.
Candace Owens accuses Erika Kirk of deceiving the public, saying that her justifications were unrelated to security concerns and were instead linked to the event's failure to attract a significant number of attendees.
Owens added, "People don't believe you and don't line up for you because you struggle to tell the truth about even the most basic facts."
Vice President JD Vance defended Erika, asserting that her critics are "full of sh-t" during his appearance at the Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia.
