Piers Morgan and Candace Owens Clash on Air Over Turning Point USA Remarks During Heated Interview

British television host Piers Morgan and conservative commentator Candace Owens engaged in a prolonged and contentious exchange during a recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, with the discussion centering on Owens’ past remarks involving Turning Point USA and its leadership following the death of Charlie Kirk.

The interview quickly escalated into a combative back-and-forth as Morgan repeatedly pressed Owens over statements he said suggested individuals connected to Turning Point USA were “complicit” in Kirk’s death.

Morgan demanded that Owens name those individuals and provide evidence, while Owens accused Morgan of mischaracterizing her words and acting as a surrogate for what she described as corporate media narratives.

Morgan focused on language Owens had used previously, insisting she had explicitly accused people at Turning Point USA of being “complicit in the murder.”

Owens disputed that characterization and repeatedly attempted to clarify what she said and the context in which it was said.

“I believe that there were multiple people at Turning Point who are—as I have said many times, my exact words are—they are engaged in a cover-up of what happened to Charlie on that day,” Owens said.

Morgan pushed back, responding, “No, but who was involved in his murder?”

Owens replied, “I didn’t say that they murdered Charlie.”

Morgan continued to interrupt, stating, “You said that people at Turning Point were complicit in his murder.”

Owens responded, “No. My exact sentence that I said was that there were people at Turning Point who are engaged in a cover-up. I believe that thoroughly.”

As the exchange continued, Morgan accused Owens of changing her account, while Owens maintained that Morgan was refusing to listen to her explanation.

At one point, Morgan told her flatly, “No, you didn’t,” while Owens replied, “I did say that on my entire show.”

Owens argued that her comments were made in the context of discussing how conspiracies operate historically, using the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as an analogy.

She said she was responding to Morgan’s suggestion that it would be implausible for multiple people to be involved at different levels.

“When you and I were discussing, that’s why I said, ‘Let’s go back,’” Owens said. “I was applying the logic of a conspiracy to JFK.”

She continued, “If there is a conspiracy, there’s going to be multiple people that are going to be complicit over time in order for a large-stage murder to happen.”

Morgan countered by saying that Owens had specifically rejected the idea she was talking about a cover-up rather than the murder itself.

Owens attempted to clarify again, telling Morgan, “You can keep saying what I said, or you can listen to what I am saying.”

The discussion intensified when Morgan asked whether Owens believed anyone at Turning Point USA had advance knowledge of Kirk’s death.

Owens said she had privately identified two individuals she believed warranted further scrutiny but acknowledged she did not have concrete evidence and therefore refused to name them publicly.

“There are specifically two people at Turning Point USA, and I have communicated that information to Erika and Justin Strife, that I would not be surprised if they had foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk being assassinated,” Owens said.

When Morgan asked whether she had evidence, Owens replied, “Because I don’t have concrete evidence is the reason why I’m not naming them. So I’ve been responsible.”

Morgan accused Owens of alarming Kirk’s widow without proof, saying, “You’ve got no evidence, but you’re telling the widow that these two people may have been involved in the murder. You see the problem.”

Owens rejected that framing, responding, “The issue is, there is not concrete evidence. It’s like you’re trying to get me to say something that I never said and then asking me to defend it.”

The confrontation later expanded into a broader argument over journalism, investigations, and media skepticism.

Owens accused the media of discouraging legitimate questions and repeating what she called “fed slop,” while Morgan suggested Owens herself might be misleading the public.

“What’s your theory?” Morgan asked.

“My theory is that we should investigate everything strange that happened on that day so we can figure out what happened,” Owens said.

“This is literally just called an investigation.”

When Morgan pressed further, Owens said, “Keep asking consistent questions until we get a clarified explanation for what happened on that day. Right now, we have nothing.”

Morgan bluntly told Owens, “It may be that the person in the media spewing bullsh*t to the public is you.”

Owens responded, “No. Nice try. It’s not.”

As the interview neared its conclusion, Owens accused Morgan of discouraging inquiry and compared current media behavior to historical examples involving intelligence agencies and the press.

She said public skepticism persists because, in her view, key questions remain unanswered.

“You wait until it becomes popular—and then you change your mind,” Owens told Morgan in her closing remarks.
