The conservative movement has faced its share of chaos this year, yet nothing quite matches the spectacle swirling around Candace Owens. A national organization is grieving the assassination of its founder, and the country is still living in the shadow of an attempted assassination on Donald Trump. These should be unifying moments. They should call the public to seriousness. They should create clarity. None of that has happened.
Feeding The Trolls
America has become so addicted to pageantry that even tragedy gets shoved into the content grinder. Reality carries no weight once a louder story appears. Sensationalism moves faster than truth. The culture rewards noise over substance. Candace Owens has taken full advantage of that shift.
Her obsession with TPUSA did not rise out of grief. It grew out of a long and public unraveling. The country watched her collapse during the Daily Wire blowup. Coworkers became operatives in her imagination. Editorial disputes morphed into moral betrayals. Every day friction turned into elaborate plots that made Alex Jones look measured. That chapter revealed exactly where she was heading. The current spectacle is not new behavior. It is the enlarged version of what she had already become.
The Claim
In case you are like me, and not following this absurdity, this is the short take:
Candace Owens claims Charlie Kirk was not killed by a lone shooter. But betrayed by senior figures inside TPUSA. She insists the Utah Valley University event was staged under suspicious circumstances. And argues that security decisions, venue changes, and timing point to an inside plot. She also alleges involvement by foreign actors, claiming surveillance aircraft and outside forces tracked the Kirks before the shooting. Her narrative boils down to one assertion. The official story is a cover-up, and people close to Charlie helped allow or enable his death.
