Dan Bongino didn’t hold his tongue during his latest podcast episode.
Bongino made an emotional statement, shared that the people who are harassing Erika Krika nd claiming she is implicated in the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, are scum.
He later went on a profanity-laced rant and told those pushing “conspiracies” regarding Erika Kirk to go “F*ck” themselves.
Mediaite reported more on Bongino’s profanity-laced defense of Erika Kirk:
Dan Bongino cursed out unnamed “f*cking lunatics” he said were harassing Erika Kirk, bombarding her with texts and social media posts falsely accusing her of involvement in the assassination of her husband Charlie Kirk.
The former deputy FBI director’s tirade came just one day after Candace Owens promoted her new “investigative series” called “Bride of Charlie.” The teaser focuses at first on Kirk’s killing in September before segueing into commentary about his widow and Israel. The announcement was met with widespread and loud pushback, including from top MAGA influencers.
Owens has pushed a conspiracy theory alleging Erika Kirk betrayed her husband murder for some time.
Opening his show on Rumble on Tuesday, Bongino slammed the accusations levelled at Erika Kirk as “the sickest thing” he’d seen in “a long time,” and warned escalating rhetoric around the subject was being pushed by some who “claim the mantel of our side.”
“We have to excise this cancer,” he said, as he added: “No movement can survive this.”
Rounding on “lunatics” he said had been harassing Erika Kirk, he continued:
Erika, I didn’t choose this man. She didn’t choose this. Imagine sitting there and you find out from Twitter or, I don’t know, text or a phone call or that your husband was just shot in the neck for the entire world to see on social media at a public event. I can’t imagine that. I know you can’t either.
Then you gotta go through this? Then you got a bunch of absolute f*cking lunatics, sending her emails: “You did it.” Comments, tweets? F*ck you! F*ck you! Go f*ck yourself, you demonic f*cking scum.

Owens has since received backlash from the new series.
Yahoo News reported more on the pushback Owens is receiving:
Candace Owens dropped a bombshell on February 24, 2026, with the trailer for her new YouTube series, “The Bride of Charlie: An Investigative Series.” The video, posted on her channel with over 5 million subscribers, zeros in on Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September 2025 during an event in Utah.
Owens uses dramatic clips from news coverage of the shooting, leaked audio from TPUSA calls, and shadowy visuals to question Erika’s actions since the tragedy. The title plays on “Bride of Chucky,” which many see as a jab at Erika’s marriage and her quick rise to CEO of the organization her husband built.
The trailer hints at allegations ranging from Erika’s past work with Romanian orphanages linked to trafficking claims to her time in China and online interactions with a teenager years ago. Owens stresses she is not accusing crimes, just raising questions, but the tone feels pointed and personal.
ADVERTISEMENTEpisode one premieres the next day, February 25, and the teaser racked up views fast, splitting opinions in conservative circles. Some call it a bold push for truth, while others label it outright harassment of a woman still mourning her husband.
Reactions poured in almost immediately, with several prominent conservatives calling out Owens for crossing a line. Body language expert Jesús Enrique Rosas tweeted that the trailer marks a moment for Charlie’s friends to speak up, noting only Matt Walsh had previously urged Owens to back off Erika two months earlier.
How does that sound?
