Candace Owens faces outrage after releasing unseen Charlie Kirk assassination footage :“Pure unfiltered evil”
Candace Owens has caused more trouble by releasing what she says is new footage from the day Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. The video, which came out months after the murder, quickly went viral on social media and brought up old arguments about what happened in the assassination. Kirk was attacked in September of last year while he was at an event at Utah Valley University. This shocked his supporters and caused a lot of political reactions across the country.The newly circulated clip appears to show the shooting from another camera angle positioned behind Kirk. Owens shared the footage during her podcast discussion, alongside photographs allegedly taken inside the vehicle that transported Kirk to the hospital. Her decision to reveal the material now has drawn attention not only from followers but also from critics who question the timing and intent behind the release.

Owens has repeatedly argued that key details about the shooting remain unexplained. In recent posts, she again pointed to what she described as unusual elements in the footage. She noted the apparent “lack of blood” and questioned whether the bullet actually passed through Kirk’s body, claims she has raised before while discussing the case publicly.After posting the clip, Owens issued a strong message directed at those she believes are exploiting Kirk’s legacy. She wrote on X, “I’m sorry guys, but I refuse to accept whatever matrix software update this is where a man is publicly assassinated and his legacy goes out to the highest bidder.”She added, “I will not allow Charlie’s enemies to purchase him like there’s some afterlife slave market. I reject this. No.”The release quickly triggered a wave of criticism online. Some users accused Owens of holding back the footage for months and sharing it only to revive interest in her platform. One critic wrote, “Candace Owens…pathological narcissist, neurological void where empathy should pulse…has been hoarding the behind-the-head assassination footage of Charlie Kirk like a serial killer preserving trophies in a basement freezer.”Another social media user expressed outrage, writing, “This woman is utterly shameless—no boundaries, no care for anyone but herself. She makes me physically sick. She doesn’t give a damn about his kids or the horrors they’ll one day witness because of her. That video hit me like a punch to the soul—I can’t even watch anything from that day. Pure, unfiltered evil.”Authorities have already arrested Tyler Robinson in connection with the shooting, and his murder trial is ongoing. Meanwhile, Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, has previously urged Owens to stop spreading conspiracy theories related to the case. Despite the criticism, the newly surfaced video has once again pushed the assassination into the center of political debate online.
