Did Candace Owens speak at turning point events after 2019

1. Owens formally left TPUSA in 2019 but kept appearing at its events

Candace Owens resigned as communications director for Turning Point USA in 2019, yet she later remained a visible figure inside TPUSA’s orbit and has been a speaker at TPUSA or TPUSA‑affiliated gatherings after 2019; local reporting documents her appearance at a Turning Point USA at Pitt “Live Free Tour” event in March 2024 where she addressed students and community members ^[1]. C‑SPAN archived footage also records Owens speaking at a Turning Point Action event (The People’s Convention) in Detroit in June 2024 ^[2].

2. What “speaking at Turning Point events” has meant since 2019

Post‑2019 appearances cover a range from campus chapter talks to national gatherings and festivals linked to Turning Point brand entities. The Pitt News described a campus event that drew “hundreds” and featured Owens discussing conservative values and media criticism ^[1]. C‑SPAN lists her at a Turning Point Action conference program, demonstrating that she remained a featured speaker at national TPUSA‑linked events into 2024 ^[2].

3. The merger and ongoing institutional ties are messy

Public records and profiles note institutional overlap: Owens co‑founded BLEXIT and later BLEXIT’s foundation merged with Turning Point USA in 2023, which the Wikipedia excerpt records as a formal connection between her organization and TPUSA’s nonprofit structure ^{[6] [7]}. Available sources do not mention every detail of contractual or employment relationships after 2019; they simply show continued public alignment and joint branding at some events ^[6].

4. The 2025 dispute over a TPUSA livestream shows a changed dynamic

Reporting from December 2025 centers on a public breakdown between Owens and TPUSA after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. TPUSA invited Owens to appear on a livestream to rebut allegations she has made; Owens initially accepted, suggested virtual participation when the announced in‑person date conflicted with her podcast, and later backed out of attending in person, prompting reciprocal criticism and claims that she “ducked” the event ^{[4] [3] [5]}. Multiple outlets document confusion over scheduling, who proposed the time, and whether Owens would appear virtually or live ^{[4] [3] [5]}.

5. Competing narratives and how sources frame them

TPUSA‑affiliated statements portray the planned livestream as an effort to “set the record straight” and describe Owens’ claims as a “flood of allegations” they intend to debunk ^{[8] [9]}. Owens’ counters—reported in Barrett Media and other outlets—frame her responses as willingness to debate but insist TPUSA announced a date without consulting her and refused virtual participation, which she says would have worked ^{[4] [5]}. Independent outlets and summaries report the back‑and‑forth without definitive resolution of who exactly reneged first; those items remain contested in coverage ^{[3] [10]}.

6. What this means for the original question

If the question is simply whether Candace Owens spoke at Turning Point events after 2019, the answer is yes: she gave on‑the‑record remarks at TPUSA/Turning Point Action events in 2024 and continued to be publicly involved in Turning Point–branded activities up through late 2025, even as relations soured ^{[1] [2] [4]}. If the question implies an ongoing formal employment or unbroken affiliation, available sources show she resigned in 2019 and later operated more as an independent media figure who appears at and collaborates with Turning Point events rather than as a staff member ^{[6] [1]}.

Limitations: reporting varies by outlet and several narratives around the December 2025 livestream remain in dispute; sources differ on who proposed dates and whether Owens formally agreed to in‑person participation ^{[4] [3] [5]}. Available sources do not mention every TPUSA event calendar entry between 2019–2025, so other appearances may exist but are not cited here.
