Candace Owens Addresses Her C&D From Turning Point USA
Erika Kirk is the current CEO of Turning Point USA, the organization that sent Candace Owens a cease and desist letter.
Owens opened up on the C&D she received, noting she told Turning Point USA they'd have "better luck keeping the sun from rising into the sky than trying to keep me from investigating Charlie Kirk's assassination."
"In other words," she continued, "Turning Point USA, you'd have better luck suing the sun. Get your lawyer to send a cease and desist to the sun, and you will have better luck in terms of getting it to stop than from getting me to look away from what happened to Charlie.
"That's how I feel, okay. And you can just take that as a fact. Take it to the bank. Do what you have to do. Get your donors. And I'm sure you've got a lot of them to fund whatever it is. I told my lawyer, 'Here's what we do. Go back to them and say, 'How much money do you want?'"

"It's gay to send a legal letter," she ranted. "It's very gay. You shouldn't do it. Especially if you can just pick up the phone and call someone.

"This whole thing of contracting people so that you can be a bad person and getting a lawyer... It's done. It's over. It's dead on arrival. Name your price, Turning Point USA. How much would you like?"
Owens continued, asking, "Would you like all of your money back? What's it worth? What's it worth to you, actually? I want to know the number, because then I'm gonna go online, start a GoFundMe, and raise it overnight."
