Overview
- The leaked clip features Erika Kirk praising Charlie Kirk’s memorial as an “event of the century” and citing figures including about 275,000 attendees and more than 200,000 in merchandise sales.
- Owens says the call was recorded less than two weeks after the shooting and argues Erika’s upbeat tone and laughter were “off‑putting.”
- Additional portions reported by outlets quote Erika referencing post‑assassination growth metrics such as new donor and chapter interest and tens of thousands of hat orders.
- A spokesperson for Owens told reporters the video is “real and authenticated,” though independent verification beyond her camp’s claim was not presented in the coverage.
- Neither Erika Kirk nor Turning Point USA has issued a direct rebuttal, as the leak revives scrutiny of the organization’s leadership shift and Owens’ continued promotion of unproven theories about the killing.
