In a long post shared on X on January 3, 2026, the conservative commentator openly rejected the official explanation given by authorities. She accused the CIA of running what she called a failed psychological effort and asked them to stop trying to shape public opinion.Owens said she does not believe the claim that Charlie Kirk was killed by one person acting alone. Her post quickly spread online and drew strong reactions from both supporters and critics. The remarks came after months of debate around Kirk’s death and the investigation that followed.While Owens continues to question the case, law enforcement officials say the evidence points in one clear direction.

The clash between Owens’ claims and official findings has now become a major point of online and media debate.
Candace Owens questions CIA narrative after Charlie Kirk case, draws sharp backlash
In her January 3 post on X, Candace Owens accused the Central Intelligence Agency of mishandling public messaging around Charlie Kirk’s death.She wrote, “I have no idea who it is over at the CIA that is responsible for psychological operations but this Charlie Kirk one has failed miserably. Please just end it. There is no amount of our tax dollars that you can spend that can convince us that Charlie was assassinated by Tyler Robinson who was acting alone.”Owens also mocked what she described as coordinated public reactions. She mentioned media figures Tim Pool and Ben Shapiro, suggesting that public emotion was being used to push people into accepting a story she does not believe. “Frankly, the entire operation was sloppy,” she wrote, adding that the response no longer made sense to her.According to a report published by CNN on December 17, 2025, Owens has continued to promote alternative explanations despite meeting with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk. The report said Owens remained unconvinced by law enforcement findings even after that meeting.Authorities have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder. Prosecutors say they have physical evidence and messages in which Robinson allegedly said he acted alone. Officials have also stated that Tyler Robinson has not yet entered a plea. CNN reported that Owens has rejected these findings and accused authorities of “gaslighting,” while offering no proof to support her claims.Despite growing criticism, Candace Owens has framed the backlash as a sign of independence. She has also pointed to the success of her podcast, saying her audience continues to grow worldwide. As the legal process moves forward, Owens has made it clear she will keep challenging the official account of Charlie Kirk’s death.Also Read: Charlie Kirk Killing Video Raises New Questions As Brian Harpole Footage Spreads And Candace Owens Is Urged To Respond
