Candace Owens has had a miserable year. She considered Charlie Kirk her best friend, and her initial reaction to his brutal public murder was one of the more genuine displays of emotion from the right. Since then, she’s been circling the drain, lashing out in all directions as she concocts increasingly wild conspiracy theories around Kirk’s death.
At various times, she’s claimed the suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, is being protected by high-level political figures, accused Israel of assassinating Kirk, implied Kirk’s security detail was in on the plan, and is lately insinuating the French government was in on it. Perhaps the idea that Kirk could be randomly taken out by a lucky shot from a total nobody is just too much to bear?
