Andrew Kolvet Suggests Joe Kent May Have Leaked Charlie Kirk’s Private Messages To Candace Owens

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) spokesman Andrew Kolvet asserted on Monday that he sent former National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Director Joe Kent private messages from slain TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, which podcaster Candace Owens later published.

Owens, in October, shared messages from Kirk that indicated he was frustrated with Jewish donors and the pro-Israel cause shortly before his Sept. 10 assassination. Kolvet confirmed on “The Charlie Kirk Show” that he sent the contents of the group chat with Kirk to Kent, although he did not claim that the former NCTC director was definitely behind the leak to Owens.

“n the immediate aftermath, I did provide the group chat to Joe Kent. We don’t throw around accusations recklessly here … We think that’s keeping in the spirit of Charlie’s spirit and the way we choose to do things is we try and be responsible,” Kolvet said. “So yes, in a spirit of looking at every lead, turning over every stone, we wanted everybody that needed to know to know anything that we knew.”

“The Charlie Kirk Show” producer Blake Neff noted that the text messages launched a major conspiracy theory that Israel or Jewish people orchestrated Kirk’s assassination. Both Kolvet and Neff clarified that they did not believe the theory.
