Candace Owens drags Pierre Falcone into Charlie Kirk assassination controversy, challenges official investigation narrative

It has been mentioned by Candace Owens, who mentioned the murdering of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk once more, and she mentioned a rather unknown name Pierre Falcone, who is a French businessman. Owens has questioned the official investigation in recent podcast episodes and social media posts. She has also pointed out what she thinks are undisclosed connections between Falcone and people at TPUSA. Her remarks have sparked intense online debate and sharpened tensions with Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, who has publicly pushed back.

Authorities maintain that Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University and that 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson acted alone. Investigators say there is no evidence of a wider plot. Owens disagrees. She has argued that the public is being misled and has described the case as involving “federal level corruption.” Her claims have spread quickly across X, TikTok, and podcast platforms, dividing supporters and critics.

Candace Owens vs TPUSA: The escalating fight over Charlie Kirk’s death

Falcone is best known for his connection to the Angolagate arms scandal, a high-profile French case tied to weapons sales during Angola’s civil war. Convicted in 2009 and later cleared of major arms trafficking charges on appeal, he has since kept a low public profile while focusing on investment ventures across Africa and other regions. He has not publicly responded to Owens’ recent assertions.

Owens has suggested that senior TPUSA figures had dealings with Falcone and hinted at a major financial arrangement that allegedly progressed after Kirk’s death. She has also floated theories about alternative shooting positions and possible international links. French officials have formally denied any involvement.

Erika Kirk has urged Owens to stop promoting the allegations, calling them a “mind virus” and accusing her of using the tragedy for attention and profit. TPUSA leaders have rejected the claims as baseless.

The official account is still the same for now. But the online fight over Charlie Kirk's death keeps getting bigger, thanks to rumors, political differences, and questions that haven't been answered that keep people clicking and arguing.
