- On Thursday, Ben Shapiro publicly accused Candace Owens of "working to acquit" Charlie Kirk's alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson, during the preliminary trial for the killing.

- Shapiro stated he does not "care about personal drama," adding: "For ten months, you've been slandering Charlie's wife, his friends, and all of the people he worked with." He condemned her "conspiratorial poison for cash."
- Conservative commentator Laura Loomer claimed Owens is "openly trying to help the radical left" get Robinson acquitted, while Dinesh D'Souza called her a "malignant narcissist" and urged YouTube investigation.
