Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Candace Owens has dominated headlines this week with her relentless and highly controversial campaign to frame the Charlie Kirk assassination as part of a sweeping and coordinated conspiracy. On her own social media channels and podcast, she has advanced a series of explosive allegations, starting with the claim that not only was Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University the result of a “federal conspiracy,” but that officials, including the FBI, are deliberately concealing evidence and lying to the public. In an Instagram story, Owens insisted that Tyler Robinson, the 22 year old suspect in the shooting, is not suicidal and maintains his innocence, directly disputing both law enforcement narratives and reported family statements. She has also argued that Robinson has no connection to the UVU campus—a detail counter to official records—while holding up the “blurry image” circulated by investigators as evidence of a deliberate cover-up, making it clear she believes the federal government is manipulating nearly every aspect of the case according to The Economic Times.
Owens went further, linking billionaire Bill Ackman to a so-called “hit list” and asserting on her podcast that Kirk had been pressured by Ackman in a high-stakes “intervention” to change his stance on Israel just weeks before his death. Ackman responded publicly, flatly denying ever threatening Kirk, Turning Point USA, or anyone else, and called Owens’ statements defamatory. Despite the denials, Owens claimed Kirk was invited to Israel “under duress,” even suggesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pulled into the drama. These and related allegations have been widely disputed and have not been independently substantiated.
Social media chatter erupted over Owens’ visible absence from Charlie Kirk’s Arizona funeral. Although she referred to Kirk as her “brother” in the past, Owens explained in her podcast and on Instagram that she was not invited, attributing her exclusion to Kirk’s widow Erika and unnamed TPUSA donors. Instead, she chronicled a quiet family day, pointedly mentioning her lack of interest in an event she claims was organized by federal authorities, poking at yet another layer of suspicion and drama that her followers have devoured.
The tension between Owens and Kirk appears to have predated his murder, with former associates like Eric Bolling saying the two drifted apart due to Owens’ increasingly extreme theories, though Owens has remained one of the loudest voices opposing any “replacement” for Kirk within Turning Point USA, vowing open hostility if a so-called “shill” were installed. Urban Scoop and Hindustan Times both highlighted Owens’ fixation on the fact that all the officials and medical personnel connected with the Kirk shooting investigation were “brand new,” a detail she presents as evidence of a deeper plot, but which remains entirely unproven.
Owens’ relentless stream of accusations and theorizing has set conservative and mainstream media abuzz, spawning debate about her true relationship with Kirk, her reliability, and the broader impact of her claims on both right-wing politics and the embattled remnants of the Kirk-led TPUSA movement. Many observers now question how Owens’ sensationalism could reshape not only her own biography but the entire trajectory of firebrand conservative activism in the post-Kirk era.
