Christian influencer Allie Beth Stuckey clapped back at Candace Owens’ claims that she doesn’t care about who murdered Charlie Kirk — and that the right-wing activist’s murder was an “inside job.”
Stuckey — who has been identified by the Wall Street Journal as a possible successor for Kirk to helm his non-profit, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) — addressed Owens’ recent claim that she was not “worried” about bringing Kirk’s killer to justice. (Kirk was shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. He Was 31. Two days later, Tyler Robinson was identified as the shooter and taken into police custody.)
“I wasn’t going to respond to Candace publicly, but I was genuinely hurt by her accusation that I don’t care about who killed Charlie because I expressed concern for the lives of people who have been implicated in her series on CK’s murder,” Stuckey, 33, wrote via X on Wednesday, November 12, alongside a video from her “Relatable” podcast.
Stuckey fired back at Owens, 36, writing, “That couldn’t be further from the truth. Charlie was my friend. He encouraged me, prayed for me, championed me and gave me advice when I needed it. We linked arms for the gospel, and I miss that so much. I very much care about justice for him.”

She continued: “But you know who cares about justice for Charlie far more than any of us? His family. His friends and colleagues who were with him every day.”
Stuckey said that she “trusts” that Kirk’s inner circle are “asking the right questions to the right people in the right way” while looking into Kirk’s assassination.
She said she has hope they are “doing so in a manner that doesn’t stir up suspicion against innocent people. In a way that doesn’t hinder the actual investigation into who was involved in Charlie’s murder.”
Stuckey noted, “I want to see due process play out uninhibited,” seemingly slamming Owens’ choice to allegedly point the finger at people without thinking about the consequences.

“And, yes, I do feel deeply for those who have been unfairly maligned by implications of guilt. That’s really scary, serious, and wrong,” Stuckey continued. “Most of all, I care about how Christians seek truth.”
She claimed that “Just asking questions,” which is what she said Owens has been doing on her YouTube series investigating the circumstances surrounding Kirk’s death “isn’t a justification for slander.”
“The God who created us and weighs our words has a lot to say about how we speak and what we seek,” Stuckey added.
Stuckey further detailed her issue with Owens alleging on her YouTube series that she wasn’t “worried” about Kirk, by claiming they don’t have the same resources.

“I can’t compete with secret sources. Candace has referenced unnamed sources that she has in the government and within Turning Point,” Stuckey alleged. “I do not have secret sources. … Charlie has not come to me in a dream.”
Owens previously wrote via X on October 19 that she thinks “Charlie was betrayed. By everyone.” She also claimed that his murder was “an inside job.”
“I think it’s really serious when we bring these things to the table,” Stuckey said on her podcast about Owens’ allegedly throwing stones at people she doesn’t think are involved in an alleged cover-up. “I would want people to stick up for me.”
She added, “I just don’t think this is right, catching people up like this.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Owens for comment.
