In the three months since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kirk’s former friend and colleague Candace Owens has spun several wild conspiracy theories about that event. Owens rejects the mainstream narrative of a single killer who had no accomplices, instead insinuating that Kirk’s death was part of an international conspiracy involving Israel, Egypt, and possibly France. She has further implied that Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, is helping cover up the supposed truth behind the fatal gunshot, to the outrage of much of the right wing media ecosystem.
Travis, Jake, and Julian break down the unfolding scandal that has inspired a parade of conservative influencers to denounce Owens, why this has not harmed Owens’ popularity, and Owens’ faulty investigative methods (which mostly consists of uncritically repeating the wildest stories and rumors that come across her inbox.)
