Candace Owens Exposes Pressure Campaign Against Charlie Kirk Before His Death and Questions Official Investigation

Categories: Investigation
September 16, 2025

Candace Owens reveals explosive details about the financial and political pressure Charlie Kirk faced in the months before his death, particularly regarding his evolving stance on Israel. Drawing from insider accounts, Turning Point USA employees, and family members connected to the case, Owens challenges official narratives about the shooting investigation. She examines suspicious details surrounding the alleged shooter Tyler Robinson, his trans boyfriend Lance Twiggs, and the mysterious 'Decoy Boy' George Zinn who falsely confessed at the scene. Owens connects dots between a secretive Hamptons donor retreat, threatening text messages from major donors, and what she describes as a coordinated effort to control Charlie's voice. This investigation goes beyond left versus right politics into what Owens calls 'a battle of sheer evil versus goodness.'

Something Is Not Right: A Battle Between Good and Evil

Candace Owens opens with a stark declaration: what happened to Charlie Kirk is not a battle between left and right, Russia and Ukraine, or any typical political division. This is a battle of sheer evil versus goodness. She promises to reveal information about the recently released indictment against Tyler Robinson, details about his trans boyfriend Lance Twiggs that the media isn't reporting, and troubling information from Turning Point USA employees about changes at the organization leading up to the Hampton's event.

Owens makes clear that only two people can shut her up right now: her husband and Erika Kirk. She directly addresses donors making frantic calls trying to control the narrative, stating their money means nothing to her because she already said no to it.

The Indictment Against Tyler Robinson: Major Questions

The indictment reveals that Tyler James Robinson surrendered to police at Washington County Sheriff's Office on September 11, 2025, after 33 hours. DNA consistent with Robinson was found on the rifle trigger. According to the indictment, Robinson hid the gun after shooting Kirk, discarded his clothing, and told his lover/roommate to delete incriminating text messages and not speak with police. He will also be charged because children were present at the time of the shooting.

Surveillance footage shows an individual dressed in dark clothing who crossed a railing from a public walkway and dropped onto the roof at approximately 12:15 p.m. Charlie was shot at 12:23 p.m., meaning the shooter was setting up for about eight minutes. The suspect entered campus from the north at 11:51 a.m. wearing a black shirt with an American flag in its center, a dark baseball cap, and large sunglasses. Throughout the surveillance, the suspect kept his head down, rarely raising it enough to get a clear image of his face.

Owens notes conspicuous omissions in the indictment. Governor Cox had previously mentioned the suspect came first in a different outfit - light shorts and maroon shirt - implying reconnaissance. This detail is completely missing from the indictment. Additionally, only screenshots have been released, not full video footage. The indictment describes the suspect walking with an unusual gait, with very little bending in his right leg, consistent with a rifle hidden in his pants. However, Owens points out that in the staircase screenshot, both legs appear to be bending normally.

The Mysterious Decoy Boy: George Zinn

One of the strangest aspects of the shooting is what Owens calls 'Decoy Boy' - 71-year-old George Zinn who immediately after the shooting jumped up screaming and creating a distraction, implying he was the shooter. Owens emphasizes she has never witnessed anything like this in any shooting coverage - someone completely unrelated jumping up to falsely confess and getting arrested for it.

Zinn now faces obstruction of justice charges. Even more disturbing, when police asked for his cell phone, he was being evasive. Upon investigation, they discovered images of child abuse on his phone. Owens notes that people into this sort of material are exactly who blackmail operations target - pointing to her research on Jeffrey Epstein.

Zinn has previously given interviews related to September 11th and al-Qaeda. Owens finds it highly suspect that this man in Utah, with this disgusting addiction, happened to be obstructing justice at this particular shooting.

The Rifle, Ammunition, and Strange Text Messages

Investigators found a bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area at the northeast end of campus. The rifle contained one spent round and three unspent rounds. No shell casings were found on the roof, suggesting a bolt-action rather than autoloading weapon, and only a single round was fired.

The cartridges had inscriptions that the indictment describes as 'memes': 'Hey fascist catch' on one, 'You've got notices bulge. What's this?' on another, 'Oh Bella ciao. Bella chow. Bella chow chow chow' on a third, and 'If you read this you are gay. Lmao' on the fourth.

The most troubling part of the indictment involves text message exchanges between Robinson and his roommate/boyfriend. However, Owens points out critical problems: the indictment provides no timestamps for these messages, making it impossible to fit them into a timeline. The messages appear to be during lockdown, with Robinson describing being 'stuck in a rem for a little while longer' and needing to retrieve his rifle. He already knows 'they grabbed some crazy old dude' and 'interrogated someone in similar clothing.'

Owens notes the exchange is structurally strange. Robinson writes: 'I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it' - improper grammar mixing past and future tense. The messages are also clearly edited, with ellipses indicating cherry-picked exchanges. Robinson explicitly describes his actions, the rifle wrapped in a towel, the engraved bullets, and instructs his boyfriend to 'delete this exchange' - yet they're texting instead of calling, despite living together.

Lance Twiggs: The Trans Boyfriend Nobody's Investigating

Tyler Robinson's classmates and neighbors are shocked he would be involved, describing him as tidy, kept to himself, worked with his hands, and came from a good family. They cannot believe he acted alone and are even more shocked that only Tyler was arrested - because they expected Lance Twiggs to definitely be charged.

Owens reveals exclusive information from Lance Twiggs' family members who reached out to her. The house Tyler Robinson was living in with Lance is owned by Lance's family. Tyler was paying rent to them. Lance's family describes him very differently than the media's cooperative, innocent portrayal.

According to his family, Lance went to live with relatives after his parents kicked him out junior year of high school because he was problematic and had issues. Christmas approximately three years ago, he almost overdosed after drinking a bottle of vodka. Eventually, extended family said they couldn't keep him either because of his behavior. This past Easter Sunday, he showed up on drugs, spouting political stuff, and family felt he could not be around children - that he had become increasingly radical and dangerous.

Lance's family told Owens they don't buy the current story and feel more people are involved. They say Lance was deep into the dark web, very reclusive, always on his devices, and that investigators should find significant information there. He turned 22 in August and was doing plumbing work with another family member. Lance and Tyler had been living together for at least a year, though Lance's family had never met Tyler despite Lance wanting to arrange a meeting.

Unusual Traffic at the House Before the Shooting

Both Lance's family and neighbors reported unusual traffic at the house in the week leading up to the shooting - multiple cars with different license plates that were not recognized in the neighborhood. This was not a couple that hosted people or threw parties, so the activity struck neighbors as very odd. There were so many cars that other people couldn't park because the visitors were taking up spaces. Owens is working to perfect this timeline and gather evidence of exactly when this unusual traffic occurred.

How Tyler's Parents Convinced Him to Turn Himself In

On September 11th, the day after the shooting, Robinson's mother saw the photo of the shooter in the news and thought it looked like her son. She called Tyler and asked where he was. He said he was at home sick and had also been home sick on September 10th when the shooting occurred. She expressed concern to her husband, who agreed the suspected shooter looked like their son and that the rifle matched one gifted to Tyler.

Robinson's father contacted Tyler and asked him to send a photo of the rifle. Tyler did not respond. However, Robinson's father spoke with Tyler on the phone, and Tyler implied he planned to take his own life. Parents convinced him to meet at their home. During discussion, Robinson implied he was the shooter and stated he couldn't go to jail and just wanted to end things. When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there was too much evil and that Charlie Kirk spreads too much hate.

Over the past year, Robinson had become increasingly political, leaning more left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights-oriented. He began dating his roommate, a biological male transitioning genders. This resulted in difficult conversations with family members, especially between Robinson and his father who have very different political views. In one conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, which Robinson said was a stupid venue. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate.

The family convinced Robinson to speak with a family friend who is a retired deputy sheriff. Together, they convinced Robinson to turn himself in to Washington County Sheriff's Office, accompanied by his parents and the family friend. He did not confess at that point, but he turned himself in. They told him to bring any clothes he used, and Robinson replied he had disposed of clothes in a different area.

Charlie Kirk Under Pressure: The Hamptons Donor Retreat

Owens reveals that Charlie Kirk was under immense pressure and facing financial threats over his shifting stance on Israel, who he was hosting on his podcast, and who appeared on stage at AmericaFest - including Dave Smith and Tucker Carlson. People who attended the multi-day weekend donor retreat in the Hamptons are confirming that Charlie was pressed at every level, facing pressure and questions from Seth Dillon.

On first-person account, during smaller meetings on the first day of the retreat, Charlie presented and explained he felt it was wrong that he couldn't publicly criticize Israel. He used an example: if he tweeted something like 'I think Benjamin Netanyahu should resign,' he would be unfairly attacked. Seth Dillon allegedly piped up and went back and forth quite aggressively, saying 'yeah because that would be anti-Semitic.' After Charlie left, Josh Hammer was reportedly upset. Owens states she knows for a fact Josh Hammer was part of the group swarming Charlie about people he was having at his conferences.

Owens offers her platform to Josh Hammer to dispute these claims and release his text messages if he wants to pretend he was supportive and never cared who Charlie hosted, even though he got destroyed in debate by Dave Smith on Charlie's stage.

Bill Ackman's Non-Response Response

Bill Ackman responded to Owens' previous episode with what she describes as either a CVS receipt (buying one item, getting 27 pages) or an online recipe (wanting to know how to make latkes but first getting the chef's life story about Hanukkah at bubby's house). She printed his tweet on two pages - a 955-word response.

Ackman sets himself up as a victim of something that never happened. Owens never said the sentence 'Bill Ackman blackmailed Charlie Kirk.' He writes that Owens 'intimated' he 'quote unquote blackmailed' Charlie - but cannot provide a full sentence because she never said it. The first five paragraphs detail how he met Charlie - following him on X, DMing in May, getting on Zoom - which was never in contention. He provides a detailed itinerary of the Hampton event, even noting sessions were 'punctuated by meals.'

Conspicuously missing from Ackman's response: any mention of Benjamin Netanyahu. No answer about whether Charlie was offered more money and funding from Netanyahu. No answer about whether Netanyahu invited Charlie to Israel as a last-ditch effort to reaffirm support for Israel. No answer about whether Charlie was being pressured throughout the event about his viewpoints on Israel, which to Charlie felt like an intervention.

Village Crazy Lady on X pointed out that Ackman confirmed he hosted his meeting with Charlie on August 4th and 5th. The very next day, August 6th, Charlie sat down with Megyn Kelly and vented his frustration about how he was being treated.

Charlie Kirk In His Own Words: The Day After the Hamptons

On August 6th, the day after being with Bill Ackman and Seth Dillon in the Hamptons, Charlie appeared on Megyn Kelly's show. Both expressed frustration about pressure from pro-Israel camps for any statement not aligning with their narrative. Charlie stated he found it 'very irritating' because some have 'earned the right to have some credibility on the subject of Israel' without being called anti-Semitic for mild pushback.

Charlie said: 'I think I have a bulletproof resume showing my defense of Israel both on campus, on social media to great mockery and scorn at times because I believe it. I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel. I believe in fulfillment of prophecy. I'm a Christian. My life was changed in Israel. The spiritual energy is so amazing there. I want them to win. I've said that repeatedly. However, Megyn, you're hitting on something very potent and important.'

He continued: 'The behavior by a lot, both privately and publicly are pushing people like you and me away. Not like we're gonna be pro-Hamas. But we're like, honestly, the way you are treating me is so repulsive. I have text messages, Megyn, calling me an anti-Semite. I am learning biblical Hebrew and writing a book on the Shabbat. I honor the Shabbat, literally the Jewish Sabbath. I visit Israel and fight for it. And there's another article out in the Times of Israel today calling me out. What am I doing? I'm sorry.'

Owens recognizes this energy as exactly where she was two years ago - someone who spent her political life defending Israel, then said one thing and suddenly faced coordinated attacks making her question if she was crazy for having sensible positions.

Financial Threats and Donor Pressure

Owens is being contacted by people telling her that within 48 hours before Charlie passed away, his top Jewish donors were pulling funding from him, demanding Charlie take their name off a building they had donated to Turning Point. Once Charlie was killed, they said 'never mind, put it back on the building.' Charlie himself had alluded to tremendous loss of money coming in.

Owens notes that Benjamin Netanyahu recently did a PR blitz, appearing on Patrick Bet-David's podcast, Brandon Tatum's podcast, and the Nelk Boys podcast - but notably not The Charlie Kirk Show. This is strange given Netanyahu implied Charlie was penning love letters to him in May and they were so close that he invited Charlie to stay at his place in Israel for the weekend.

The Secretive Hamptons Event That Wasn't Publicized

Turning Point USA employees pointed out something Owens hadn't realized: in two years of working there, Turning Point always publicizes their events and summits. But this Hamptons weekend summit was never publicized. Attendees were taking pictures all dolled up (including drama about Sarah Stockton's engagement ring being called too small), but none of them mentioned they were in the Hamptons for a Turning Point event or weekend. Why were they apparently told not to say anything about being at that event, even though Bill Ackman is now being very open about it?

People who were at the Hamptons event said Bill Ackman gave a presentation telling them they shouldn't own property and should give money to stocks instead - that's how they can be successful. Owens asks: did Ackman tell people they shouldn't own property when he gave his presentation at this now-infamous meeting?

The Pattern of Threats and Intimidation

Owens describes the consistent pattern: a woman who goes by 'the gay who's straight' tweeted a thread about how Charlie Kirk had to distance himself from Tucker Carlson, creating online pressure with veiled threats about money and ruining his company. After Charlie died, she immediately pivoted to prayers, then arrived at the Bill Ackman situation saying 'sue her, take her money, that's how we win.'

Owens states this is always the playbook: Do what we say or we'll ruin your life. We'll call up friends and write hit pieces. We'll have you canceled. We'll pressure your sponsors. We'll make sure you can't earn an income. If you survive that, we'll sue you for everything you have. Owens declares: 'You guys suck. We don't care about your money. We are tired of it. This reveals who you are, not who I am.'

Ackman even complained in his tweet that Owens monetized her video. Owens fires back: 'Are you the same Bill Ackman that made an absurd amount of money while we were in COVID lockdowns and we couldn't work? Are you the same Bill Ackman who turned that into billions? So maybe check yourself. Nobody can make money but us?'

A Hostile Takeover of Turning Point USA?

Owens describes what feels like a hostile takeover: Charlie builds the company organically on the basis of Charlie's honest ideas. Suddenly the company has a lot of money and Charlie's honest ideas are starting to change or add more color. Now he's getting financial threats, being called names, increasingly being told who and what he's allowed to speak to. He's taking a stand privately against these people.

Then it doesn't matter anymore because Charlie's dead. The very same people who were pressing him are now quickly trying to set in stone a narrative that Charlie essentially died for Israel, he's just one of us, nobody ask any more questions. Owens declares this is 'literally untrue and we're not going to allow it.'

She makes clear this is her response to what she feels was severe misrepresentation by Benjamin Netanyahu and his echo in America - of which she would say Josh Hammer and Seth Dillon are part. She is not attacking that narrative and associating it with the events at Utah's campus, but she doesn't like little lies about the leadup.

Conclusion: Coming for Everybody

Owens closes by stating she is not done. Charlie Kirk's death is really just a beginning. She's coming for everybody. What happens in the Hamptons is not going to stay in the Hamptons. She offers Bill Ackman her platform if there is more he'd like to say or clarify, even though she knows he's 'so high flutin and above us.' The truth should be enough.

She emphasizes this is not a battle between left and right - this is a battle of sheer evil versus goodness. She needs everyone listening to wake up because something is not right.
