Candace Owens, TPUSA fight over 'secret event' for Idaho school kids; Erika Kirk dragged in - here's all that happened

A controversy erupted between conservative commentator Candace Owens and Turning Point USA (TPUSA) over an event at Nampa Christian School in Idaho featuring speaker Erika Kirk. Owens questioned the voluntariness of student attendance and alleged the event was held as a "secret" school assembly, while TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet disputed her characterization and said students had the option to opt out.
