Candace Owens Doubles Down On Charlie Kirk's Nonprofit's Fake Halftime Show Views Claim
By Afouda Bamidele on February 10, 2026 at 5:30 PM EST

Candace Owens is insisting that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) forged its viewership ratings to compete with Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance.
The political commentator doubled down on her stance in new tweets, arguing that the Charlie Kirk conservative foundation did not gain as many viewers as they claimed.
Additionally, Candace Owens reiterated that she was done with "the left vs. right saga" following the suspicious death of her dear friend, Charlie Kirk. She has shared several conspiracy theories about his shooting since the September 2025 incident.
Candace Owens Calls Out TPUSA Again For Falsifying Their Viewership Counts

On February 10, Owens dropped another allegation against Kirk's TPUSA on X, accusing the organization of faking their viewership numbers to beat Bad Bunny's Super Bowl numbers. "Conservatives are now fully deluding themselves and paying influencers to invert reality. To what end?" Owens began.
She compared TPUSA's alleged efforts to Hilary Clinton's "too big to fail" presidential campaign, stressing that there were three realities the foundation needed to accept. The first, per Owens, was that they "lost the Super Bowl narrative" because Bad Bunny performed better.
The second reality was that there were more people against ICE, especially after the fatal shootings in Minneapolis. "Even more reality: the collapse of the Republican Party has everything to do with Christian Zionism and its perceived hypocrisy," Owens added, declaring she didn't mind being hated to spread the truth.
The Political Commentator Also Doubles Down On Charlie Kirk's Suspicious Death

When a critic slammed Owens' post, labeling her a Democrat, she responded by declaring she was no longer associated with any political faction. "I'm officially neither Republican nor Democrat," she began, adding:
"The social contract between me and the government was violated entirely when Charlie Kirk caught a bullet in the throat, and the federal government colluded to lie about it."
Owens alleged that the government, alongside "the very people" Kirk spent his entire adult life empowering, was responsible for hiding the truth about his death. On that note, she vowed never to vote again, claiming she was done with "the left vs. right saga."

Although Owens slammed TPUSA for allegedly faking their views, she wasn't a fan of either of the halftime shows. The Blast covered her stance on both performances, reporting that she explained why they weren't her cup of tea on X.
According to Owens, she disliked Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance because it wasn't in English. Additionally, she wanted a halftime show that wasn't sponsored by alleged "pedophiles and human traffickers."
On the other hand, Owens was disappointed by TPUSA's halftime show because the organization allegedly "scammed its views by paying platform advertisers, followed by influencers to pretend they broke records."
The Former TPUSA's Employee Called Out Her Late Pal's Wife For Acting Gleeful

Owens' recent tweet wasn't the first time she had addressed her late pal's death and the alleged conspiracy behind his September 2025 shooting. The Blast reported last month that she had released an audio about Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk.
The recording was allegedly taken after Charlie's memorial event, just 11 days after his passing. In the audio, Erika could be heard giggling and cheerfully discussing the attendance figures and merchandise sales from the event with TPUSA staffers.
Owens reacted to the audio in disappointment, noting that she expected Erika to be more upset about Charlie's passing. Her words reignited the conspiracy allegations, with many shocked by Erika's indifference to her husband's death.
Candace Owens Previously Slammed Charlie Kirk's Widow For Asking For Privacy

The audio wasn't the first time Owens had gone after Erika, as she previously called her out in December 2025. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she slammed Charlie's widow for asking for privacy to mourn him after repeatedly publicizing his death.
Owens claimed Erika suffered from "Meghan Markle Syndrome," which meant she wanted both privacy and publicity on her own terms. However, Owens noted that the notion was BS coming from someone who filmed herself crying on her late husband's casket and posted it.
The political commentator stressed that Erika chose to publicize the private moment and even shared her late husband's body for all to see, yet suddenly she wanted privacy to grieve. "That just doesn't work. It doesn't work that way," Owens argued.
Will TPUSA respond to Candace Owens' allegations?
