"Totally crazy stuff": Candace Owens dissects the allegedly "real conspiracy theory" connecting Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson & his "lover"

Candace Owens devoted her November 21 podcast episode to dissecting what she described as the supposedly “real conspiracy theory” surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It was a theory that, according to her, tied together Kirk, suspect Tyler Robinson, and Robinson’s alleged "lover".

Owens began by telling her audience that the theory was nothing more than a “tin foil hat conspiracy theory,” and warned viewers not to fall for it.

“I don’t want you guys to believe that. That’s crazy. That is totally crazy stuff,” she added.

According to the BBC, Charlie Kirk had been speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem when a single shot struck him. Officials believed the bullet was fired from the roof overlooking the quad where Kirk had been onstage.

Two days later, the father of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson turned him in, and Robinson became the primary suspect. Investigators later reported that he was found wearing the same clothing seen in surveillance footage gathered after the attack.

Owens, however, argued in her video that the widely accepted sequence of events was itself, ironically, the alleged “conspiracy theory.” She suggested that numerous details in the timeline raised more questions than answers, beginning with Robinson’s presence on the Utah Valley University campus, even though he “did not attend UVU” and had “never been on UVU campus.”

Candace Owens explained:

“Tyler Robinson, who did not attend UVU...packed up his car that day, uh, jumped onto a rooftop, figured out how to like, jump around like Spider-Man and just knew exactly where Charlie Kirk would be seated just by having never been there. Took a shot, one shot with 30-06 that got stopped because Charlie eats spinach.”

Owens then shifted to discussing Robinson’s alleged partner, Lance Twiggs, a transgender individual and Robinson’s alleged lover. She also revisited a CCTV image she had previously analyzed, which showed Robinson entering a Dairy Queen shortly after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot

According to her, this image of Robinson in the Dairy Queen suggested that he had made a “hasty retreat” into the restaurant after shooting Kirk. There, the suspect had allegedly texted Twiggs “every minute of what he did.”

She further noted that the official narrative maintained that even after returning home to Twiggs later that evening, Robinson continued texting him the next day about conversations with his father.

Candace Owens argued that these details, which formed the backbone of the publicly available timeline, were supposedly flawed, exaggerated, and inconsistent. In her view, it was this publicly accepted version of Charlie Kirk’s assassination that functioned as the alleged “real conspiracy theory.”

During the podcast video mentioned above, Candace Owens expanded on her belief that the publicly accepted explanation of Charlie Kirk’s assassination was flawed.

She suggested that the version of events widely circulating online was, in her view, the actual conspiracy theory because several details did not add up, including what she described as suspicious text messages attributed to the alleged suspect, Tyler Robinson.

Owens began by examining the timeline and tone of Robinson’s reported messages. She argued that the exchanges appeared unnaturally neat and scripted. Owens questioned why a person would text through an entire encounter instead of speaking face-to-face.

“Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, he’s home, but they’re still texting more because, like, that’s how you should do as opposed to just talking to him face to face. and he wanted to get away with it, and he expresses that,” Candace Owens said.

Owens then shifted focus to what she perceived as another contradiction, Robinson’s academic background. She noted that he had a 4.3 GPA and was considered a “boy genius,” yet the messages attributed to him allegedly recorded “every minute of the crime.” She argued that this behavior, if true, clashed with the idea of a highly capable student.

“But at the same time, despite the fact that he’s got like a 4.3 GPA and he’s like a boy genius, he decides to write every minute of the crime that he had just committed, uh, to his love. That’s actually the conspiracy theory,” she said.

She also raised doubts about Robinson’s identity, suggesting that the lack of public records and limited courtroom visibility made it difficult to confirm whether he existed.

Owens implied that the absence of “one verifiable piece of evidence” regarding him was concerning, noting that he appeared only electronically and did not use video during hearings. She also special that he might be “just an AI app”

Candace Owens also argued that the inconsistencies she highlighted made the accepted narrative appear suspicious. She pushed back against claims that her coverage was conspiratorial, emphasizing her frustration with how the situation was being framed.

“What is going on? How dare they call anything that we are covering a conspiracy theory?” Candace Owens remarked.
