Kirk, 37, was scheduled to headline a University of Georgia event with the vice president JD Vance, But later quit — faced backlash from conservative commentator Candace Owens and others. Vance, meanwhile, attended the event. (Erika serves as Chairman and CEO of Turning Point USA Assassinations in September 2025 Husband and Co-Founder Charlie Kirk.)

Candace Owens has condemned Erika Kirk’s decision to pull out of this week’s event with Vice President JD Vance as “completely indefensible and crazy.” “The public should continue to be outraged by the recent lies on Turning Point USA,” Owens, 36, wrote via X on Friday, April 17.
