Conservative commentator Candace Owens has escalated her conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, directly implicating President Donald Trump and his administration in the crime during a recent episode of her show.
In a clip from her podcast that quickly went viral on X, Owens claimed Kirk "gave so much of his life to Trump & to politics, and they were just like NOPE. That’s it. So here’s a holiday. What is with them giving them a holiday after they kill them? As soon as they give you a holiday, they definitely killed you."
She concluded the segment with a smile, adding, "Anyway, see you guys next week," while insisting she "just knows" the allegation is true.
The remarks appear to reference recent declarations of holidays or memorials in Kirk's honor, which Owens bizarrely interprets as evidence of foul play by those in power.The claim ties into Owens' broader narrative of a massive conspiracy involving Trump, Israel, the CIA, Mossad, and other entities, which she has been promoting since Kirk's death on September 10, 2025.
Kirk was shot and killed by 21-year-old Tyler Robinson during a debate at Utah Valley University, in what authorities have described as a targeted attack linked to possible online radicalization or personal grievances. No evidence has emerged to support any involvement by Trump or his associates, and the official investigation continues without indication of such elaborate plots.
