Ben Shapiro on X: "Don’t worry, Megyn. I’d never ask you to protect me. You won’t even protect Charlie Kirk’s widow from the monster accusing her of murdering Charlie." / X

“Don’t worry, Megyn. I’d never ask you to protect me. You won’t even protect Charlie Kirk’s widow from the monster accusing her of murdering Charlie.”
Straw Man
How They Deceive You
Propaganda
The tweet is heavily misleading due to a factual error falsely attributing a direct murder accusation to Candace Owens, combined with hyperbolic 'monster' framing and omission of the intra-conservative feud context.
Main Device
Straw Man
Shapiro exaggerates Owens' questioning of Erika Kirk's background and behavior into a direct accusation of murder, creating a distorted position that's easier to condemn.
Archetype
Intra-conservative tribal defender
Shapiro weaponizes defense of TPUSA allies like Erika Kirk against ex-employee Candace Owens amid their personal and professional feud.
Ben, this tweet is a straight-up lie—you claim Candace Owens accused Erika Kirk of murdering Charlie, but her "Bride of Charlie" series just questions Erika's sketchy bio inconsistencies, her lightning-fast CEO rise at TPUSA after the shooting, and some odd post-death behavior. No direct accusation anywhere, per every summary from Hollywood Reporter to Forbes. FBI says Tyler Robinson acted alone, charged Sept 16, 2025 with DNA evidence—no conspiracy. And Megyn? She hosted Erika on her pod in Dec 2025 *and* mediated a 4.5-hour "productive" meeting between her and Owens at Erika's request. Hardly "not protecting the widow." This is you weaponizing your 2024 firing of Candace from Daily Wire in that antisemitism spat, turning legit TPUSA drama questions into monster libel to rally your crew in this right-wing civil war. People deserve better than your feud-fueled BS—check the facts before swallowing this hype.
