"She has legitimate fears for her life": Netizens react to Candace Owens claiming she didn't "drink any water" during Erika Kirk meeting

Candace Owens and Erika Kirk recently had a meeting amidst their feud on interviews and social media. After that, the former said that she didn't even drink the water at the location of their meeting due to potential security risks.

Candace Owens has been spreading a lot of conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's death in the last three months. Charlie was assassinated during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10. She has even claimed that some TPUSA members were allegedly involved in his death.

Meanwhile, Erika Kirk, the new Turning Point USA CEO, has defended the organization and slammed the people spreading such theories. As they feud online, Kirk and Owens set up a meeting on Monday, December 15, which went on for a few hours.

In a video on her YouTube channel, published on Tuesday, Owens spoke about her meeting with Kirk. In one part of the video, she said:

"I didn't know what EriKa's energy was going to be like, if it was gonna be more of an argument, if there was gonna be legal threats. You guys were telling me not to drink water, so I didn't drink water, while I brought my own water, but I didn't drink that water, too. It was a lot."

Users online have reacted to this clip, as one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote:

"In other words you agree that she has legitimate fears for her life"

"Erika and I had an extremely productive 4 1/2 hour meeting that I think we both feel should have taken place a lot earlier than it did. We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent."
