Conservative commentator Candace Owens released screenshots of text messages from the late Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month in Utah, in which he complained about losing a $2 million annual donation from a Jewish donor who opposed Tucker Carlson's invitation to AmericaFest.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the authenticity of the leaked text messages during an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, stating that he initially didn't want to share the texts out of respect for Kirk, but later gave them to government officials.

In the messages, Kirk wrote that "Jewish donors play into all stereotypes," but that he "cannot and will not be bullied like this," concluding that he was considering leaving the pro-Israel cause due to funding pressure over his refusal to disinvite Carlson.

This came amid other high-profile commentary surrounding the Israel lobby, including from former congressman Matt Gaetz, who recalled an American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) reception, recounting, "you had to wear a name badge with a QR code, talk to donors, and if they liked you, they scanned it to donate on the spot."
