Candace Owens has 'dead man's switch' full of names to be released in case she suddenly dies after Charlie Kirk claims



Candace Owens has made a bold statement, claiming that she has a list of names set to be released in the event of her death, regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk.

In a fresh wave of claims, Owens has released screenshots of what she says are Kirk’s final text messages.

Messages she alleges point to pressure from Jewish donors and dissatisfaction with his pro-Israel stance.

She has since claimed that she could be targeted next.

Owens Alleges Charlie Kirk Was “Under Pressure” From Donors

Owens, who previously worked at Turning Point USA before her departure in 2019, shared screenshots from an alleged group chat on Monday.

She claimed the messages were sent just two days before Kirk’s death and show a user named “Charlie Kirk” voicing frustration over donor fallout.

In the purported texts, the user states: "Just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won't cancel Tucker (Carlson)." The message continues: "I'm thinking of inviting Candace."

A follow-up message from the same user reads: "Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot and will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause."

Turning Point USA has since verified that the text messages are legitimate.


Candace Owens Says Charlie Kirk Knew He Was Going To Be Killed

Owens has also claimed that Kirk knew he was going to be killed, and told those close to him just days before he tragically lost his life.

"Three people told me off record, two people who have this in a written communication from Charlie, and one who was a Turning Point USA donor," she began.

"The very day before Charlie Kirk died, he expressed that he thought he was going to be killed. He told these people that 'I think they're going to kill me'."

Candace explained that she was not told this by Charlie, but hopes that by speaking out, the three people who she claims are "good" would be "inspired" to come forward.
