Candace Owens should be demonetized. She should not be allowed to make money off of this harassment of Charlie Kirkโ€™s family. Itโ€™s outrageous that YouTube allows her to make millions of dollars posting absolute lies and defamation. She is truly demented and I canโ€™t wait to see the day sheโ€™s held accountable.

Loomer responded by posting Owens' video and demanding her demonetization, stating, "She should not be allowed to make money off of this harassment of Charlie Kirkโ€™s family. Itโ€™s outrageous that YouTube allows her to make millions of dollars posting absolute lies and defamation."

Owens swiftly retorted, escalating the already bitter feud. She suggested Loomer should be "institutionalized (again)" and described her as "a risk to the President."
