Erika Kirk had a blunt one-word plea when asked to respond to conservative podcaster Candace Owens, who has been attacking the widow since her husband was killed and spreading conspiracy theories about his murder.

“Stop. That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Stop,” Kirk told CBS Editor-in-Chief Baris Weiss during a tell-all town hall on Wednesday, the outlet reported.

Kirk has been on a media tour pushing back on unfounded theories spread around the internet about her husband’s death — many coming from Owens, whom Charlie Kirk once considered a close friend.

In the weeks since Charlie Kirk was shot dead at Utah State University, Owens has spouted outrageous conspiracy theories about his death — including that Kirk was “betrayed,” that the federal government lied about the investigation, and even that Israel may have been involved in his death.

Owen’s has also attacked Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, where she once worked.

Kirk appeared on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” Wednesday and responded to the rumors online about her husband’s death, which she said has brought her to a “breaking point” as it now involves her personal family and her new family at TPUSA.

Owens said in response that Erika Kirk’s comments were about her — and said she already knew that Erika Kirk called her out at CBS’ town hall — which does not air in full until Saturday night — because she had spies in the crowd.

“It’s indirect, but it’s also about me. And don’t worry, in case you think it’s not about me, she is going to name-check me on stage,” Owens said in a video clip.

Erika Kirk does not say Owens’ name once in the teaser clips shared by CBS.
