CRITIQUE / OPINION by Jay Michaelson (Both/And) — "How Candace Owens Learned Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories from an Orthodox Rabbi" (published 2026-04-21).
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://jaymichaelson.substack.com/p/how-candace-owens-learned-antisemitic

The post traces how Owens's antisemitic conspiracy theories about 'Sabbateans' derive from Orthodox rabbi Marvin Antelman's 1974 book. Within that broader argument it quotes her specific Kirk claim: that 'Jews didn't have Charlie Kirk assassinated merely because he questioned American support for Israel; rather, they offered him as a blood sacrifice (in cahoots with Erika Kirk) because they practice the occult.' The post presents no court record; it uses the Kirk claim as one example of Owens's 'half-baked lunacies.' NOTE: the Kirk case is a secondary example here rather than the post's central focus.
