An online battle broke out Thursday between right-wing influencers and MAGA conspiracist Candace Owens.

Owens, who has been vocal about alternative theories behind Charlie Kirk's killing while the trial was underway for the Tyler Robinson, the suspect accused of killing the Trump ally, fired off a post on X attacking Ben Shapiro and Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet.

Owens said that founder Ben Shapiro's message on The Daily Wire has basically been, "lecture, lecture, lecture, lecture, everyone's terrible but me," she told The Post. "And people just don't want to see it. That's not interesting. I don't want to be lectured every day." ...
