On July 30, Candace Owens responded to backlash after an independent journalist, Ryan Matta, called her out for releasing the rooftop footage of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer months after his death.

In his post, Ryan Matta criticized Owens, saying:

“Candace Owens is an absolute legend for sitting on this footage for so long.”

Following this, Candace Owens shared his post, pointing fingers at Turning Point USA. She called it ‘weird’ how TPUSA supporters are showing their anger since she came out with the unseen rooftop video. Instead, she said that no one thanked her for showing the video. Candace Owens wrote:

“Isn't it kind of weird how Turning Point shills are angry about this footage coming out after we've endured months of them telling us that all The Widow wants is transparency and truth surrounding her husband's death? Not a single one of them thanked me for obliging her. Oh well!”

Candace Owens recently revealed a new rooftop clip tied to Charlie’s murder

The former Daily Wire host presented unseen footage in her podcast. She showed the clip of Charlie Kirk’s alleged murderer, who can be seen running, changing positions, and allegedly doing tactical movements. She even said that the man did not seem like Tyler Robinson, Charlie’s murder suspect. Besides, she noted that the person did not have a gun.

With the new video, Candace Owens dismissed the official account of Tyler shown by the feds in court. As per the evidence collected, Robinson carried his rifle hidden inside his skinny jeans. His rifle caused him limping, as per official information.

In her podcast, Owens said:

“Something feels not right. Something doesn't feel right. That feels to me like what the witness said that that person looks like they've got training. I'm It's not giving Tyler Robinson to me, but what do I know? I'm not I'm not an expert.”

The members of TPUSA, namely Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff, have repeatedly rejected Candace’s theory. Both of them claimed that there is one more CCTV video from another angle that shows Tyler Robinson limping, pulling out, and assembling his gun. They even cited a medical examiner’s report to emphasize the gunshot wound on Charlie’s neck.

On the contrary, Alex Jones and Tim Pool have seemingly shown support for Candace’s narrative.


For those unversed, Charlie died on September 10 last year. He was reportedly shot at UVU when he was hosting his event on campus.
