Candace Owens Moves on From Israel, Claims Charlie Kirk Killing a ‘Federal Conspiracy’
Candace Owens has shifted her attention away from Israel, after suggesting “threats” were made against Charlie Kirk for changing his pro-Israel views, and onto a new theory: a “federal conspiracy” is covering up the real story behind Kirk’s murder.
Owens, in a series of posts to her Instagram story on Wednesday, claimed “they” — including Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) — “immediately moved to protect” the roommate of suspected killer Tyler Robinson. Owens demanded the feds and Cox tell the public why, immediately.
“I’ve just spent hours working through this timeline and I am now fully of the belief that this is in fact a Federal conspiracy. There is no other explanation,” Owens posted on her Instagram story on Wednesday. “They are lying about Charlie Kirk’s [assassination].” (Note: Owens misspelled “assassination” in her post.)
She continued: “In particular it is abundantly clear that they immediately moved to protect Tyler Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs. Why? The timeline betrays the press conference given by Governor Cox where they declared ‘we got him’.”
Her story concluded with: “I WANT THE ROOMMATES ALIBI, NOW. @GovCox get on it. You said a lot but said nothing at all.”
Owens’ new theory comes after she suggested Kirk, a vocal supporter of Israel, was beginning to have “rational thoughts about Israel” in the months leading up to his death. She also claimed billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was “very upset and threats were made” against Kirk for softening his pro-Israel stance.
Ackman, in response, said that is absurd and shared text messages where he and Kirk discussed grabbing dinner in New York City this fall.
Her Instagram post came around the same time Vice President JD Vance urged Republicans to stop debating how Kirk felt about topics like Israel until “after his funeral.”
Beyond Owens, Tucker Carlson has claimed the Turning Point USA founder “did not like Benjamin Netanyahu” and “was appalled by what was happening in Gaza.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped Carlson for that claim on Wednesday, saying he knew Kirk to be a staunch supporter of Israel and Jews.
