CRITIQUE / OPINION by Political Junkie (Claire Potter and Neil J. Young) — "What Happened to Candace?" (published 2026-03-13).
This is a third-party critique ABOUT the Charlie Kirk / Tyler Robinson case — NOT the court record. Indexed for comparison against the primary transcripts/filings AND against what the commentators actually said. Source: https://clairepotter.substack.com/p/what-happened-to-candace

The post documents Candace Owens's conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's death, noting she maintains that Kirk's killer 'was in league with larger forces' -- the FBI, the Mossad, antifa, Egypt, France, Donald Trump or Kirk enemies within TPUSA itself -- or that Charlie Kirk is still alive. It describes how Owens launched a campaign against Kirk's widow Erika through a YouTube series called 'Bride of Charlie' that portrays Erika and her family as fraudulent without evidentiary support. The core criticism is that Owens, described as 'a committed conspiracy theorist,' promotes conspiracy narratives rather than engaging factually, capitalizing on the assassination.
