Candace Owens and Daily Wire Dispute Over Security Response in Charlie Kirk ShootingPreviousNext

Candace Owens alleged that during the critical minutes after Charlie Kirk was shot, his security team was communicating with Ben Shapiro's team instead of focusing solely on Kirk's safety, suggesting possible betrayal. She also claimed Shapiro disliked Kirk and questioned the security coordination. Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing refuted these claims, stating that the same security firm served multiple clients and coordinated promptly after the shooting, ensuring everyone's safety, including Owens's.
