for speaking up about this… If you shared the audio file purportedly of Erika Kirk — I’d delete it now. It is not her. It is fabricated. It is part of an active FBI investigation. Every person who spread it knew or should have known, and several of them knew 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 what they were doing. Graham said it plainly: Project Constitution — the coward hiding behind a fake identity — knows it’s fake. Ian Carroll knows it’s fake. Carroll’s response was to say he never claimed it was Erika, just that he wanted to “see how it plays out.” That is not journalism. That is handing scissors to a two-year-old and walking away. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠. The tape is so obviously fabricated that even Candace Owens has been forced to say publicly it is not real. Let that register. The same Candace Owens who feeds her audience a daily diet of questions-without-answers, rage-without-facts, and division-without-purpose — even she had to step back from this one. Not because she suddenly developed a conscience. Because it was 𝐬𝐨 𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 that defending it would have probably turned her into a financial grease spot once Erika is done with her. But here is what Candace needs to hear directly: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. You did not make the tape. But you built the audience that consumed it, spread it, and celebrated it. Every day you ask questions you have no interest in answering honestly, every day you feed the rage and the chaos and the non-facts — you are growing the population of people capable of doing exactly this to a widow. You are now a victim of the machine you built. That is not sympathy. That is consequence. And to Michael Knowles and every other conservative commentator sitting in silence right now because they do not want to get involved in “podcast wars” — your silence is a choice. A fabricated tape targeting the widow of Charlie Kirk has been seen by millions. 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. It is complicity by comfort. There is a line. Erika Kirk is on one side of it. The people spreading fabricated gr*oming tapes about Charlie Kirk’s widow are on the other. If you cannot find the courage to say which side you are on, the answer is already clear. 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞. 𝐒𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐀 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐊 𝐓𝐀𝐏𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐋𝐈𝐄. 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄 𝐈𝐓.

I've purposefully not talked about this so-called "gr*oming tape* because it was clearly nonsense spread by Candace Owens. Evidently it's grown legs and the cancerous seed that Owens planted has… pic.twitter.com/JaIXCBX20r
