The post fact-checks Owens for 'claiming that Tyler Robinson never stepped foot on the University campus,' contrasting that with trial footage showing Robinson present repeatedly, including on the day of the shooting. It presents court-admitted evidence including DNA matching Robinson and his associate Lance Twiggs on a towel near the murder weapon, video of Robinson 'climbing up onto the roof,' and his own mother identifying him in incriminating footage. The core criticism asserts that Owens spreads 'grievous lies' and operates 'like a cult leader,' keeping claims 'vague' while profiting from viewer engagement, casting doubt on overwhelming evidence.
