Conflicting accounts about whether Charlie Kirk feared for his life before he was killed are raising fresh questions about Turning Point USA's version of events.

• A Vanity Fair profile of Erika Kirk quotes a former Turning Point employee saying Kirk liked appearing at schools that drew death threats because it made good content.
• A text message read publicly by commentator Andrew Wilson has Kirk telling his security team the day before the event that he was worried the left was trying to kill him.
• That clashes with Erika Kirk's own on-air statement that her husband was not messaging anyone about being killed, and that she has his phone.
• An independent review of the university's security found Turning Point USA pushed to hold the event outdoors rather than in a safer indoor space.
• Candace Owens has separately claimed Kirk feared Israeli or pro-Israel actors, not the left, though no evidence has been shown.

Outlook: With the security review out and rival accounts circulating, expect more pressure on Turning Point USA to explain the contradictions.
