Candace Owens Silenced: At Charlie Kirk Memorial, Organizers Drop Her from A-List Lineup.

In the USA.

The news as it trends.

It looks like Candace Owens won’t be making any speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial. Owens, once a vocal ally of Kirk, has been quietly removed from the speaker lineup for the upcoming service.

According to reports and the official memorial pamphlet, her name is no longer listed among the featured guests.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and is expected to draw over 85,000 attendees.

Despite publicly describing Charlie Kirk as her “best friend,” and being closely involved in the movement’s early stages, Candace Owens’ name was notably absent from the official speaker list released by Turning Point USA.

Her exclusion has sparked speculation about internal tensions and backlash over her recent controversial remarks—especially as names like Benjamin Netanyahu, Bill Ackman, and other prominent pro-Israel figures continue to surface in nearly every conversation on Owens’ podcast since Kirk’s passing.

The decision to remove her follows days of intense criticism surrounding her public comments about Kirk’s death.

Owens suggested that billionaire Bill Ackman had threatened Kirk over his views on Israel, fueling conspiracy theories and political speculation.

Critics argue that her rhetoric has overshadowed the tragedy and shifted attention away from honoring Kirk’s legacy.

Sources close to the event say organizers wanted to preserve the solemnity of the occasion and avoid turning the memorial into a political spectacle.

Owens herself confirmed during a livestream that she was not invited to speak, expressing frustration and alleging that the event is being tightly controlled by Trump-aligned forces.

The speaker lineup includes President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump Jr., and Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow.

Owens’ absence from the A-list speaker lineup signals a sharp rebuke from the conservative establishment and raises questions about her standing within the movement.

In a moment meant for reflection, silence now seems to speak louder than controversy.
