Online reactions have been mixed, with some supporting Owens while others condemn her for leveraging Kirk’s memory for political gain. Their ongoing rivalry, marked by accusations and debate invites, continues to capture the attention of political observers, leaving the future of their feud uncertain.
Dust-Up Between Controversial Commentators Feels Personal
The world of social media has been heated lately, especially between two prominent right-wing figures, as Nick Fuentes took to X to criticize Candace Owens for her recent decision to share private chats with the late Charlie Kirk. This latest exchange comes just weeks after Kirk was tragically killed at an event in Utah.
The Controversial Exchange
On October 23, Owens shared what she claimed were old messages with Kirk, highlighting his evolving views since 2018—particularly regarding pop culture and politics. In her post, she noted that while many in politics seemed “fake and gay,” they at least could bond over hip-hop. However, Fuentes quickly responded, pointing out that sharing private conversations like these was completely inappropriate, especially after Kirk’s untimely death. He urged Owens to allow Kirk to “rest” in peace instead of dragging his memory into her political narratives.
Mixed Reactions All Around
Owens’ actions spurred a mixed bag of responses from the online community. Some supporters praised her for being a “real friend” who wanted to share her memories of Kirk, while others found her actions downright “weird,” suggesting it was time to let Kirk’s legacy stand without additional commentary.
To complicate matters, Owens has been vocal in her own theories regarding Kirk’s death, hinting at possible involvement from Israeli forces and even making unconfirmed allegations about FBI connections. Meanwhile, authorities have arrested and charged a local man, Tyler Robinson, with murder in connection to Kirk’s passing.
Building Tensions
The ongoing feud between Fuentes and Owens has been simmering for some time, marked by accusations and dismissive comments between the two. Owens previously suggested that Fuentes was playing a victim card, referring to him as “the Israel of the Right.” On the other hand, Fuentes has called his previous appearance on Owens’ show a “failed hit job” and expressed dissatisfaction with how the interview unfolded.
Debate Invitations Gone Awry
Owens has repeatedly invited Fuentes to participate in a formal debate, even offering to set up a debate with Kirk if he agreed to join her. However, Fuentes has questioned the sincerity of her debate invites, calling her “embarrassing” for seeming too eager. Their interactions have played out like an ongoing game of verbal chess, with insults, accusations, and screenshots of their conversations becoming tools for each to leverage against the other.
Controversial Footprints
It’s important to note that both Fuentes and Owens have faced serious backlash in the past for their public comments and the controversial beliefs they promote, which often include antisemitic tropes. Their latest spat is merely a chapter in a long history of public feuds, smear campaigns, and back-and-forth exchanges that make their relationship fascinating for many followers.
The Future of the Feud
As the dust settles on this latest round of social media drama, it’s unclear where things will go from here. Will Fuentes finally accept one of Owens’ debate invitations? Or will this feud continue to simmer on social media? Regardless of the outcome, the ongoing tensions between these two figures are set to keep political observers glued to their screens. For now, both are navigating the complex waters of public opinion and personal rivalry, which only adds to the intrigue.
