On July 22, TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the organization never received a request for comment before the story was published and questioned whether the article accurately reflected Erika Kirk\u2019s views.<!-- --> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>Owens pushed back, shared screenshots that she said showed Daily Mail had contacted her team before publication, and challenged Kolvet to seek legal action if he believed the report contained fabricated quotes. The exchange has become the latest chapter in their long-running dispute over Owens\u2019 ongoing coverage of Charlie Kirk\u2019s death.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;\">Candace Owens releases screenshots after Andrew Kolvet questions Daily Mail report<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>The latest argument began when Andrew Kolvet claimed TPUSA had not received any request for comment from Daily Mail before its story was published.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>He wrote, \u201cWe never received any request for comment. We\u2019re told they attempted to send one, but we can\u2019t find it. Strange given that every other outlet on the planet seems to know how to reach us, including the Daily Mail.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Kolvet also argued that the article did not reflect Erika Kirk\u2019s way of speaking and said the newspaper later made major corrections. He added, \u201cUnfortunate to see the Daily Mail doing the bidding of Candace Owens, who of course used it as rage bait on her show because she has no actual evidence to discuss as she continues her very lucrative \u2018investigation.\u2019 Maybe she\u2019s the anonymous source?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Owens responded by saying she doubted Kolvet\u2019s version of events and urged him to demand a correction if it was true.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>She wrote, \u201cIf this is true, and I HIGHLY doubt it is, given its striking similarity to the piece that was being written and spearheaded by Erika\u2019s family friend Tracy Martin for US Magazine, then you should demand a public response and retraction from the Daily Mail.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>A short time later, Owens posted screenshots that she said proved her team had received a request for comment before the article went live. She added, \u201cHere you go @AndrewKolvet, please keep us updated on this. <!-- -->We received notice hours before the piece went out, seeking comment.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;\">Andrew Kolvet and Candace Owens continue <keyword id=\"23403881\" type=\"General\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"public-dispute\" source=\"keywords\">public dispute<\/keyword> over Erika Kirk story<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>The back-and-forth did not stop there. Kolvet questioned why Owens had not publicly shared the emails before the article was published. He wrote, \u201cRiddle me this, Candace\u2026 We all know what you do when an article is coming out you don\u2019t like. You publish the emails, attack the reporter, and throw a fit on social media. Why didn\u2019t you do that this time? Is it because you were in on the plan? Just asking questions.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Owens rejected the accusation and pointed out that she had already discussed the report on her show.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>She replied, \u201cI literally did an entire episode responding to this article, genius. Also please stop the \u2018just asking questions\u2019 cringe. \ud83d\ude02 You are cornered here. If you are stating that the journalist is fictionalizing quotes from Erika\u2019s family friends, then you should get legal involved. This is an easy retraction to achieve. Quite literally this reporter would lose his job. Are you working on that?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>Owens also argued that Daily Mail had corrected only what she described as a typo involving \u201cfamily friend\u201d and \u201cfamily member,\u201d not withdrawn the article itself. She maintained that if the quotes were truly invented, TPUSA should pursue a defamation case. As of now, neither side has backed down, and the dispute remains active.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us-streamers\/were-told-they-candace-owens-challenges-andrew-kolvet-with-retraction-demand-in-escalating-charlie-kirk-feud\/articleshow\/132569938.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe\u2019re told they\u2026\u201d: Candace Owens challenges Andrew Kolvet with \u2018retraction\u2019 demand in escalating Charlie Kirk feud (Image via Getty) The public fight between Candace Owens and Turning Point USA has taken another turn after both sides clashed over a Daily Mail report linked to the 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk.
