Candace Owens has accused powerful Zionist networks of turning their sights on Tucker Carlson — the same forces, she claims, that destroyed Charlie Kirk.
In her latest broadcast, Owens alleged that the same “Zionists who hated Charlie Kirk” are now working to erase Tucker Carlson for daring to challenge Israel’s conduct and America’s unwavering support for it.
Owens suggested that these individuals had orchestrated online, financial, and physical attacks against conservative figures unwilling to adopt staunchly pro-Israel positions.
‘It is so over for Tucker Carlson,’ Owens said in a now-viral clip. ‘I mean, he must be shaking… They have declared war on Tucker Carlson, which they happen to do every week, obviously. And they all say the same thing, which shows how inorganic it is.’
Her remarks follow weeks of speculation surrounding Kirk’s ideological shift and reports of donor pressure tied to his changing stance on Israel.
According to an Axios article, Kirk privately complained of losing key Jewish donors after refusing to ‘cancel’ Carlson — a story that Owens has repeatedly cited as proof of systemic pro-Israel control within conservative media circles.
Owens doubled down, insisting that Carlson’s popularity and independence made him a threat to what she termed the “Zionist establishment.”
‘More than anyone else, we know that Zionists cannot stand Tucker Carlson, and the real reason that they hate him is because he’s very well-liked now by both sides,’ she said.
‘And he also happens to not be controlled. You can always tell who they control because they don’t condemn them, even when they… just come right out with genocidal language against the Palestinians… They don’t care. They support it. They cover it up.’
This line of argument, echoing sentiments she voiced during the Israel–Gaza conflict, positions Owens among a small but growing faction of conservatives questioning America’s close ties to Israel — a topic once considered untouchable within right-wing politics.
Owens also invoked her late friend and colleague Charlie Kirk, suggesting that efforts were underway to “rewrite” his views after his death.
‘Before Charlie died… I interviewed Nick Fuentes,’ she revealed. ‘And Charlie and I discussed the interview, and never once did he tell me not to speak to Nick Fuentes. Never once did he consider it an act of betrayal. To the contrary, I had a very long discussion with him… I tried to make that happen [to have Charlie bring Nick Fuentes on his show to debate him].’
Owens accused what she called “Zionist media figures” of attempting to distort Kirk’s reputation: ‘They want Charlie’s legacy by any means necessary,’ she said.
‘They want people to believe that his legacy belongs to Israel somehow. And the harder that they work to lie about his legacy, the more the world wakes up to the truth about it.’
