Candace Owens demands $500,000 for debate with Andrew Wilson

Commentator Candace Owens has rejected a $300,000 offer from Andrew Wilson to debate the conspiracy theories she has promoted regarding the death of Charlie Kirk. In response, Owens has issued a counteroffer of $500,000.

Owens suggested that Wilson may be backed by Turning Point USA, noting the organization raised significant funds following Kirk's death. Beyond the financial demand, Owens has set several conditions for a face-to-face debate. She stated that because she is seven months pregnant, Wilson must travel to her location. She also requested that the debate be conducted live with no time limit, allow for the presentation of evidence, and that Wilson refrain from smoking during the proceedings.

Additionally, Owens indicated that an endorsement from Turning Point USA officials or Kirk's widow would be required before she agrees to the debate.
