The Imminent Collapse Of Candace Owens

With the preliminary hearing of Tyler Robinson underway for the death of Charlie Kirk, right wing influencers are suddenly pouncing on Candace Owens. And in this moment, the prominence of Candace Owens is making its last stand. In mere days of introducing evidence to establish probable cause for a premeditated murder, the conspiracy theories of Candace Owens have been blown open. And the right is seizing the moment.

Evidence Brought Before Trial

In the third and fourth days of the preliminary hearing, DNA evidence of Tyler Robinson was shown to be on the towel wrapped around the gun and the screwdriver used to assemble the gun on site. DNA evidence is generally damning in any murder trial, especially on or around the murder weapon.

Moreover, Candace Owens has claimed that Tyler Robinson was not on campus that day, a claim thoroughly debunked on multiple videos depicting Tyler Robinson on campus, even to case the location.

Perhaps the most famous theory is the exploding microphone, inspired by Israeli exploding pagers, as an alternative to a gunshot. This was entirely disproven as the prosecution presented the bullet and its fragments and presented testimony that it was .30-06. The largest fragment was clearly a bullet and the smaller fragments stemmed from the soft tip of the round. Ian Carroll, a close ally of Candace Owens, has claimed that full metal jacket was used to argue that the bullet should have had an exit wound and additional damage. But alas, the ultra-common soft tip for .30-06 was used. Just like the liberal media, these people know little about firearms if they cannot distinguish between full metal jacket and less penetrative rounds. 

And perhaps the cherry on the gay cake was Tyler Robinson’s lover, Lance Twigg, testifying against him. Although on video and not available for cross-examination (reminder: the cross-examination would have to undermine probable cause, not establish reasonable doubt), Twigg testified that Tyler Robinson had left a note and confessed to him via text and in person. He also testified that he advised Robinson on using a Dremel to engrave the bullet casings within a month of Kirk’s death.

Candace Owens has lashed out at the proceedings:

Lance Twiggs says he never heard Tyler talk about Charlie Kirk or LGBTQ issues. But we’re supposed to believe he jumped up one day, and decided to try on an assassination over those exact issues after never committing any crimes in his life. I cannot bear the Fed slop any longer.

But it’s not uncommon for aspiring criminals not to disclose their homicidal intentions to their lovers, and Robinson’s position on gay issues was firmly established with Twigg.

Unsustainable Influencer Models

There are unsustainable business models, and there are unsustainable influencer models, and Candace has risen high with the latter. Attention-seeking influencers must escalate their actions in order to sustain the level of attention they are receiving. Many influencers have flamed out doing this, a recent example being Clavicular, the looksmaxer.

Candace Owens has come a long way, specifically since challenging the Daily Wire’s favorite vaccine. The death of Charlie Kirk accelerated her to new heights as she monetized her soured friendship with Kirk by peddling extravagant international conspiracies about the assassination.

But like all conspiracy slop, there comes a point of no return for credibility. In 2017, the Qanon conspiracy arose among online boomers who were convinced that Trump Administration insider was leaking intelligence “drops” on a blog. The Q drops were often vague, nonfalsifiable, and raised people’s hopes about sealed indictments. But following the 2020 election and subsequently, January 6, it was clear the entire thing was a scam from the start, something Jack Posobiec pointed out early on while at One America News.

Candace Owens has captured the Qanon energy, and if I had to bet, much of the same audience. And the Tyler Robinson trial is her J6.

Hyperspritualizing

People on the right, especially in Christian circles, are running the narrative that Owens is demonically possessed. And while schizophrenia might probably be demonic possession, that’s not Candace Owens. Candace Owens is either retarded, a psychopath, or evil. And I’m going with all three.

She’s never been intelligent, except by comparison to other tokens of the industry, but there is a level of psychopathic shamelessness with her constant escalations for clicks.

The hyperspiritualizing of Candace Owens paints the founder of Social Autopsy as someone who otherwise had good instincts, subdued by supernatural forces. This is the comfortable answer for those in the industry who propped her up for years because she was Black, a woman, and repeating other people’s talking points.

Conclusion

As it stands now, I see little possibility of Candace Owens pulling a rabbit out of the hat to escape the coming guilty verdict and the credibility hit that is coming her way. The future of Owens appears to be a lolcow, forever milked in her comment section for being so outrageously wrong about Kirk’s death for clicks, a point of derision, doomed to embrace a pariah persona with whatever audience remains.
