Conservative media circles were jolted on Valentine’s Day after activist Laura Loomer publicly voiced support for Erika Kirk while escalating her ongoing feud with commentator Candace Owens. The tweet consisted of sympathy, praise and sharp criticism that fueled an argument that has been simmering through podcasts, social media discussion forums, and political commentary platforms.
The conflict arises amid prolonged investigation of Erika Kirk after the demise of her husband, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. Owens has repeatedly questioned details surrounding the couple’s marriage and events before his death, prompting backlash from Loomer and others who view the commentary as invasive and harmful.
Loomer’s latest post framed the controversy as a targeted smear campaign rather than legitimate inquiry.
Laura Loomer backs Erika Kirk as feud with Candace Owens intensifies
“Happy Valentine’s Day to @MrsErikaKirk,” Laura Loomer wrote on X. “Just know that not all of us are sociopathic lying a***oles and many of us stand with you, we support you, and we are rooting for your success despite the deliberate effort to smear you by jealous and spiteful women online who wish they had what you had and wish they looked like you,” she added.
The message did not mention Owens by name, but its target was widely understood. Loomer has previously urged Erika Kirk to pursue legal action, describing Owens’ commentary as defamatory and “beyond depraved.” In earlier posts, she called for a restraining order and accused Owens of promoting damaging claims.
Owens, for her part, has scrutinized Erika’s interview remarks about sending Charlie Kirk to sleep in their daughter’s room before an event and questioned why he was not wearing his wedding ring that night.
She has presented these facts as peculiar and this has caused skepticism among her audience that has attracted both appreciation and disapproval.
This conflict has become a larger spectacle of the media, the result of rifts at the heart of conservative circles of commentators. The fans of both parties still debate on the internet, transforming individual sorrow, allegiance, and mass media investigations into a political and cultural hotspot.
In the case of Erika Kirk, the newfound interest makes sure that the personal tragedy never ceases to be mixed up in the politics of polemic. Loomer and Owens are still in a battle that does not seem to come to an end.
