US EditionCandace Owens Claims ‘Threats Were Made’ to Charlie Kirk During 'Intervention' with Bill Ackman, Investor Denies Charges
Billionaire Bill Ackman and pro-Israel influencers convened an August meeting to confront Charlie Kirk over his criticism of Israeli influence, with Kirk rejecting funding offers, sources say.
- Bill Ackman hosted and funded a gathering of about 35 young conservative influencers in Bridgehampton, New York, on August 4-5, 2024, including Charlie Kirk.
- The meeting became an intervention where Ackman and others confronted Kirk over his growing skepticism toward the US-Israel relationship after he rejected pro-Israel funding and meetings offered by Netanyahu.
- Kirk left feeling blackmailed and was presented with a detailed list of offenses against Israel while attendees such as Emily Wilson and Xaviaer DuRousseau were documented in the Hamptons.
- Ackman denied threatening Kirk or coercing his views, calling such claims totally false and expressed sadness over social media influencers monetizing Kirk's death.
- The event revealed rifts within conservative circles on Israeli influence, coinciding with Kirk’s reported spiritual transformation and estrangement from some evangelical allies before his assassination in September 2024.
