This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Archived copies and screenshots of Candace Owens’ posts about Erika Kirk do appear in the public record: social-media archives and news sites have preserved specific posts and reposts, and at least one archived X/Twitter post is available via archive.ph (see p1_s7). Major news outlets (CBS, HuffPost, Times of India) and numerous conservative and partisan sites have reported on Owens’ posts and the fallout [1] [2] [3].
1. What the record shows: multiple outlets documented Owens’ posts and reactions
Reporting across mainstream and partisan outlets has extensively quoted and described Candace Owens’ public statements and social posts about Erika Kirk; CBS News summarized Owens’ long videos and subsequent theories and reported that Erika Kirk publicly told Owens to “Stop” [1]. HuffPost and the Times of India likewise recount Owens’ post‑video questioning of the official account and the wider rumors that followed [2] [3]. These articles provide contemporaneous reporting that can be used to corroborate what Owens said even if the original host posts are later removed [1] [2].
2. Where archived posts or screenshots appear to live now
News sites have embedded or quoted Owens’ statements and sometimes included screenshots; conservative outlets and social aggregators (The Gateway Pundit, Free Republic, Independent Sentinel) reproduced or summarized Owens’ remarks and media exchanges [4] [5] [6]. For direct archival captures of social posts, an archive.ph link in the provided results points to a captured X/Twitter post discussing Erika Kirk coverage [7]. That archived item demonstrates the kind of preserved snapshot you can locate via web‑archive services.
3. Archive services to check (and what the sources used)
The search results show at least one capture on archive.ph for a social post about Erika Kirk [7]. Based on that, practical next steps are: search archive.ph and the Wayback Machine for Owens’ X (Twitter) handle and for URLs of her podcast or show pages; review major outlets’ articles (CBS, HuffPost, Times of India) which quote or excerpt her posts and long videos [1] [2] [3]. Conservative aggregators and commentary sites in the results often reproduce screenshots or embed segments from her podcasts [4] [8].
4. What the coverage documents about content and tone
Sources record that Owens posted long videos asking questions about Charlie Kirk’s death, promoted multiple theories, and criticized Erika Kirk; CBS says Owens “pushed conspiracy theories” and made “unfounded fraud allegations” about Turning Point USA finances [1]. Barrett Media and other outlets transcribe or paraphrase Owens mocking Erika Kirk and accusing her of seeking selective privacy and publicity [9]. These consistent descriptions across outlets function as a secondary record if original social posts are edited or removed [1] [9].
5. Disagreements and partisan framing you should expect
Coverage varies by outlet: mainstream outlets (CBS, HuffPost) treat Owens’ claims as conspiracy‑minded and note Erika Kirk’s demand to “Stop” [1] [2], while partisan conservative sites amplify Owens’ attacks and frame Erika’s responses as a “takedown” or a political performance [5] [8]. The Gateway Pundit and similar sites reiterate Owens’ assertions and cast Erika as the target of ongoing criticism [4] [8]. Be aware these sources speak to different audiences and present competing frames [1] [5].
6. Limitations and what’s not shown in these sources
Available sources do not mention a single, comprehensive repository run by Owens or her team that preserves every original post or screenshot for public inspection; they also do not provide direct links to every original post by Owens about Erika Kirk (not found in current reporting). While archive.ph captured at least one relevant social post [7], the provided results do not confirm that all of Owens’ posts are archived or that every screenshot circulating on social media is an authenticated original.
7. Practical steps to find archived copies or screenshots now
Start with the archive.ph capture referenced [7] and run searches there and on the Wayback Machine for Owens’ show pages, her X/Twitter handle, and links quoted by CBS, HuffPost, or Times of India [1] [2] [3]. Open the articles cited here to locate embedded screenshots or quoted passages; conservative sites and social aggregators in the results often reproduce images or embeds you can save [4] [8]. If you need provenance, prefer mainstream outlets’ verbatim quotes (CBS, HuffPost) because they document and timestamp specific assertions [1] [2].
Summary: multiple news outlets and at least one web archive capture are in the available record; use archive.ph and the Wayback Machine plus the cited articles (CBS News, HuffPost, Times of India, and the archived social post) to locate preserved copies or screenshots and to verify context [7] [1] [2] [3].
