Candace Owens questions how Charlie Kirk shooting footage was handled

Aug 26, 2026

Candace Owens is pressing the official account of the Charlie Kirk assassination, saying a Turning Point staffer's handling of one camera raises doubts that investigators have not answered.

  • Minutes after the shooting, Turning Point's audio-visual lead pulled the SD card from the one camera positioned behind Kirk, leaving the other cameras untouched.
  • The stated reason — protecting the footage from thieves and sparing Kirk's widow — does not fit, since the whole thing was livestreamed and the other gear was left behind.
  • Owens says he gave her shifting excuses for not sharing the file, including a fear of Google, days after he had already sent investigators Google links.
  • Testimony at the preliminary hearing indicates state investigators got a flash drive and links, not the original cards, leaving a window where the footage could have been altered.
  • The chair Kirk was shot in was reportedly moved and stood on to reach the camera, disturbing the scene before police secured it.

Outlook: Pressure is building for state investigators and Turning Point to say where the original memory cards are and who has held them.
