Candace Owens Refutes Death Hoax and Reiterates Israel Conspiracy Claims About Charlie Kirk
Conservative commentator Candace Owens denied a viral social‑media claim that she had died, posting on X that she is alive. In the same message she repeated her unsubstantiated allegation that Israel was linked to the 2025 murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, suggesting that blaming Israel would be "entirely appropriate" if she were dead.
The false death announcement originated from an X account that later alleged the post was the result of a hack. Owens’ response reignited debate within conservative circles over the motives behind Kirk’s killing and drew criticism for promoting a theory denied by Israeli officials.
The incident highlights ongoing political infighting over the Gaza war narrative and the use of online hoaxes to amplify partisan disputes.
