Candace Owens has spoken out after revealing she was not invited to speak at Charlie Kirk’s Arizona memorial service. The conservative commentator went live on her show Thursday, reading a media email asking if she would attend.
“You’re right, you got me,” Owens admitted. “I was not invited to speak alongside President Trump, JD Vance, or Tucker Carlson.” She suggested donors might be influencing the planning, adding, “Erika is in full control… I would hope she’s in full control.”

Owens insisted she and Kirk “never stopped being friends,” despite former Fox host Eric Bolling claiming the two had a “quiet break up.” She also alleged the White House is “controlling” the event and claimed, “It’s common sense they’re not going to allow me to share the stage.”
Sunday’s lineup includes Trump, Kirk’s widow Erika, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and other high-profile figures.
Do you think Candace Owens should have been included in the memorial — or was this decision justified?
