“Who on Charlie's team betrayed”: Candace Owens raises explosive questions over Ben Shapiro security updates

Candace Owens has reignited her public feud with Ben Shapiro after claiming that his security team received updates while the late Charlie Kirk was being rushed to a hospital following the September 2025 shooting. In a lengthy X post published on July 8, 2026, Owens questioned why communication was taking place between the two security teams during what she described as Charlie Kirk’s final moments. Her comments sparked debate online, drawing responses from supporters, critics, and former Daily Wire executives. So far, Owens has not provided evidence to support her broader allegations, and several people she mentioned have disputed her claims.
