Candace Owens Alleges Setup in Charlie Kirk Shooting; Questions Tyler Robinson's Role, Highlights Lance Twiggs' Deeper Involvement

Candace Owens Challenges Charlie Kirk Shooting Narrative, Alleges Deeper Conspiracy

During a recent livestream hosted by Myron Gaines and uploaded to YouTube on November 18, 2025, prominent commentator Candace Owens expressed significant skepticism regarding the widely accepted account of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Owens asserted that her independent investigation into the case has revealed what she perceives as incomplete and perplexing details within the publicly available information, particularly concerning video evidence.

Unanswered Questions and Missing Footage

Owens specifically highlighted the absence of any video footage capturing the precise moment the shot was fired. She noted that only a brief clip, depicting an individual fleeing the scene immediately after the shooting, was ever released to the public. This lack of comprehensive visual evidence forms a core part of her doubt regarding the official story.

Tyler Robinson's Role and Disputed Fingerprints

Challenging the prevailing view, Owens suggested that Tyler Robinson, the individual accused in the shooting, may have had a far less direct role than commonly understood. While confirming that Robinson's fingerprints were indeed found on the weapon, Owens made the controversial claim that these were not the sole fingerprints present. She emphasized that this particular detail, according to her, has not been openly or widely discussed.

Lance Twiggs: A Deeper Involvement Alleged

Owens's scrutiny extended to another individual, Lance Twiggs, whom she believes played a much more substantial and intricate part in the day's events. Owens posited that the entire situation surrounding Kirk's shooting appears to be a meticulously planned setup involving multiple individuals, rather than the isolated act of a single perpetrator.

When pressed by Myron Gaines on the inconsistencies she perceived, Owens pointed to crucial gaps in the narrative that, in her opinion, simply do not add up. She theorized that Robinson's only significant connection to the case was the presence of his fingerprints on the gun. Furthermore, Owens claimed that Robinson never actually entered the campus where the shooting took place, suggesting his 'assignment' was merely to deliver clothing to designated drop-off points near a Dairy Queen and then a cemetery.

Regarding Lance Twiggs, identified by Owens as the alleged shooter's partner, she stated unequivocally that Twiggs was 'much more involved.' While she does not believe Twiggs personally fired the shot, Owens is convinced he held a deeper, more instrumental role within the supposed plan.

TMZ Video Analysis and the 'Patsy' Theory

To bolster her assertions, Candace Owens referenced a specific TMZ video from September 13, which reportedly shows an individual walking towards Utah Valley University hours before the shooting. This person was described as wearing a maroon shirt, black cap, light shorts, and sneakers. Owens firmly identified this individual as Lance Twiggs, not Tyler Robinson, citing clear physical discrepancies between the person in the video and Robinson.

These perceived inconsistencies, Owens argued, lend credence to her theory that various individuals were assigned distinct, segmented tasks. Her ultimate conclusion is that the shooting utilized 'patsies,' each given small responsibilities to create an impression of a larger, more convoluted scheme, thereby obscuring the true nature of events.
