Which platforms did Candace Owens mention Erika Kirk on (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads)?
Executive summary
Reporting across multiple outlets shows Candace Owens publicly discussed Erika Kirk repeatedly in posts and broadcasts tied to her podcast and social feeds; the coverage cites Owens posting on X (formerly Twitter) and promoting a livestream/podcast while also making claims on her show [1] [2]. Available sources do not present a definitive, itemized list confirming every platform (Instagram, Facebook, Threads) where Owens mentioned Erika Kirk; most pieces single out X posts and podcast/live video promotion as the principal venues [1] [2] [3].
1. Where the reporting explicitly documents Owens speaking about Erika Kirk — X (Twitter) and her podcast/live show
Multiple outlets quote or describe Candace Owens’ X posts and her podcast/live presentation as the moments when she raised the Egyptian‑plane/Erika Kirk claims: Radar Online and IBTimes reproduce her X activity and promotion of a livestream, and IAqaba describes a November 17 podcast episode where she laid out the theory [1] [3] [2]. These stories present X and her show/podcast as the clearest, documented platforms in available reporting [1] [2].
2. What the articles say Owens posted on X and promoted
Radar Online reports Owens wrote on X: “Today is going to be a big day...” and used follow‑ups to push a livestream of her program, then presented flight‑tracking overlaps between Egyptian planes and Erika Kirk [1]. IBTimes similarly cites an X post and quotes Owens’ insistence the flight‑tracking data deserved scrutiny [3]. The Times of India and Hindustan Times also summarize her claims and attribute them to her public statements and social posts [4] [5].
3. Podcast episode and livestreams as a primary vehicle for the detailed allegations
IAqaba and other outlets note a dated podcast episode (November 17, 2025) in which Owens “revealed new details” and corrected a time‑zone mistake while continuing to press the theory — indicating long‑form audio/video as the medium where she expanded her assertions beyond single social posts [2]. Radar Online described how she “presented a theory” during a show livestream promoted via X [1].
4. What the coverage does not confirm — Instagram, Facebook, Threads mentions
None of the provided articles explicitly document posts on Instagram, Facebook, or Threads in which Owens mentioned Erika Kirk. The reporting commonly cites X posts, podcast episodes, and livestream promotion; therefore, available sources do not mention Instagram, Facebook, or Threads as confirmed venues for these specific allegations [1] [2] [3].
5. Variations and inconsistencies in outlet details — counts and language differ
Coverage is inconsistent about precise numbers and language: some outlets report "73 overlaps" between Egyptian planes and Erika’s travel (Times of India, Hindustan Times, IndiaTimes), others report 68 or “nearly 70” overlaps (Radar Online, WN/Steel), and several note Owens adjusted timing details on the podcast [4] [5] [1] [6] [2]. These discrepancies show reporting is relying on Owens’ own evolving public statements and different write‑ups of her claims [1] [2].
6. How other actors reacted in the reporting — pushback and denials
Some outlets record pushback: one Times of India piece recounts Owens denying she accused Erika of killing Charlie Kirk and calling Ben Shapiro a liar for saying she had made that direct accusation, showing she has publicly disputed characterizations of her claims even as she presses the surveillance theory [7]. Daily Mail and Free Beacon pieces frame her commentary as intensifying internal conservative conflict around Turning Point USA and Erika Kirk’s new role [8] [9].
7. Context and limits of what the sources prove
The available reporting establishes X posts and Owens’ podcast/livestream as the primary, documented outlets where she mentioned Erika Kirk and the Egyptian‑planes theory; none of the supplied sources offers a comprehensive list that includes Instagram, Facebook, or Threads [1] [2] [3]. Because the sources rely on Owens’ own social activity and program content, variation across articles in specific claims and counts is expected and reported [1] [2].
8. Takeaway for readers trying to verify platform claims
If your goal is to confirm every platform where Owens mentioned Erika Kirk, start with the documented X posts and the November 17 podcast/livestream cited in multiple stories, then search her official profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads for matching posts — but note that the articles provided here do not confirm activity on those latter platforms for these specific allegations [1] [2] [3].
