Overview

• Hammer posted screenshots he says are the last WhatsApp exchange with Kirk, showing Kirk thanking the group and writing that his next stop was "Utah Valley U!"
• He argued earlier leaked snippets were taken out of context and said Kirk had sought advice on presenting pro-Israel arguments to Gen Z after a Zoom call.
• TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet previously verified screenshots that showed Kirk venting about losing a "huge Jewish donor" over Tucker Carlson.
• Owens has promoted theories about donor pressure and Israeli involvement and insinuated Hammer had foreknowledge based on his prior "public executions" tweet, which he denies.
• Owens rejected Hammer’s account and publicly questioned that he asked where Kirk’s first campus stop would be.
