Candace Owens Accuses TPUSA of Pushing Michael McCoy Post-Charlie Kirk's Death, Alleges Assassination Fears

Candace Owens Unleashes Shocking Allegations Against TPUSA Following Charlie Kirk's Death

Conservative firebrand Candace Owens has sent shockwaves through the political landscape with explosive claims concerning the death of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk and the organization's immediate aftermath. Speaking candidly on Myron Gaines’ podcast on November 18, 2025, Owens expressed deep suspicion about the circumstances surrounding Kirk's tragic demise and raised serious questions about the actions of key figures within TPUSA.

Allegations of a Successor Plan: Michael McCoy in the Spotlight

At the heart of Owens' accusations is Michael McCoy, currently TPUSA's chief of staff. Owens alleges that in the wake of Kirk's fatal shooting on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, TPUSA seemingly embarked on a calculated mission to elevate McCoy. She claims the group attempted to position him as the organization's new public face, essentially grooming him as Charlie Kirk's successor.

Owens cited the curious reappearance of an old YouTube speech by McCoy shortly after Kirk's death as evidence of this alleged strategic move. She described the entire sequence of events, from McCoy's sudden prominence to his equally swift retreat from the public eye, as "strange" and deeply unsettling. Furthermore, Owens questioned McCoy's background, mentioning his "simple education" and suggesting negative comments about his father, adding to her unease about his purported rapid ascent.

Charlie Kirk's Chilling Premonition: "They are going to kill me."

Perhaps the most unsettling revelation from Owens pertains to Charlie Kirk's own fears. Owens claims that just one day before his death, Kirk sent a text message stating, "They are going to kill me." She asserted that she knows a TPUSA employee who possesses this critical message, which profoundly informs her belief that something is amiss.

Adding to this, Owens shared details of private conversations with Kirk where he allegedly expressed a premonition that TPUSA would ultimately be the cause of his death and that he anticipated a young demise. These purported warnings from Kirk himself underscore Owens' unwavering determination to seek the truth.

Concerns Over TPUSA's Silence and Conduct

Owens did not mince words when criticizing the palpable silence from many TPUSA employees following Kirk's death, which she found profoundly troubling. While she avoided directly naming individuals, Owens hinted at the involvement of those close to Kirk, including his manager, only identified as "Mike," in circumstances she deems questionable. She also acknowledged the grief experienced by Erika Kirk, Charlie's wife, amidst these complex developments.

Candace Owens has made it unequivocally clear that she will not be deterred or silenced in her pursuit of answers. She has publicly committed to uncovering the full truth behind Charlie Kirk's death and upholding his memory, regardless of the pressure or resistance she may encounter. Her statements have undeniably cast a long shadow over TPUSA and sparked intense debate within conservative circles.
