This incident has ignited debates about conspiracy theories in politics.
Candace Owens Sparks Controversy with Conspiracy Theories After Charlie Kirk’s Murder
In recent days, the political landscape has been stirred up by the actions of conservative commentator Candace Owens. Following the tragic and shocking murder of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, Owens has attracted considerable attention — and not the good kind. Kirk was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, which has led to a heated conversation regarding the circumstances surrounding his death.
Kirk’s Murder: A Devastating Event
On that fateful September day, Kirk’s untimely death sent shockwaves through conservative circles and beyond. The investigation quickly identified Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident, as the prime suspect in Kirk’s murder. Authorities have not suggested that anyone else might be involved, leading many to believe the investigation may be far less complex than suggested by Owens.
Owens’ Conspiracy Theories Unleashed
Instead of acknowledging the official investigation, Owens has taken to her social media platforms to share a series of conspiracy theories regarding Kirk’s murder. One of her more astonishing claims involves the possibility of foreign involvement, including allegations hinting at Israel’s potential connection to his assassination. Hard to believe? It gets even stranger.
Owens also drew attention to an Egyptian Air Force plane with the tail number SU-BTT, asserting that this aircraft had flown out of Provo, Utah, on the very day of Kirk’s murder. Her timeline included the claim that this plane had previously landed in the U.S. on July 20, at an army base in Nebraska, and she speculated that the decision to murder Kirk was made just days earlier, around July 18. Her narrative suggested that clandestine military meetings involving foreign leaders might have taken place on U.S. soil, contributing to the plot.
A Time Zone Mix-Up?
Owens posted her theories on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming the airplane arrived in Provo from France on September 4 and left just after Kirk was murdered on September 10. However, a community note quickly pointed out that the plane took off from Provo at 7 AM local time on September 10, which was before Kirk was even shot. It appears there was a misunderstanding on Owens’ part regarding UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), leading many to find humor and frustration in her lack of clarity about time zones.
Backlash and Defense
As expected, Owens faced significant backlash online for her theories. Many social media users voiced their criticism, pointing out her misinterpretation of time and details surrounding Kirk’s death. But rather than back down, Owens has stood her ground, stating that she was emphasizing the military nature of Kirk’s death and distancing herself from the “lone shooter” narrative. Interestingly, one of her theories was reportedly inspired by a dream, claiming that Kirk had confided in her about feeling ‘betrayed’ shortly before his demise.
Sticking to Her Guns
Despite the intense scrutiny, Owens has continued to press the matter. She posted further questions about the flight in question, including who was on board when it arrived in Provo and how many passengers were listed on its return flight. She seems determined to keep the conversation going, even as the official query remains largely settled with Robinson as the sole suspect.
The political and social realms are undoubtedly heated right now, with voices on various sides of the debate weighing in on Owens’ outlandish claims. Only time will tell how this saga continues to unfold and what implications it carries for public discourse surrounding tragedy and conspiracy theories.
