Their feud is related to Owens' Fort Huachuca claims involving Charlie Kirk's assassination.Candace Owens took to her official X (formerly Twitter) page and questioned whether Cabot Phillips was present at or near Fort Huachuca on September 8 and September 9, 2025, the period just before Kirk's murder.Cabot Phillips responded to Candace Owens' claims by releasing photos and surveillance footage. He stated that he was not in Arizona on those dates and had never been to the base at all.Cabot Phillips' post was as follows:"I was not at Ft. Huachuca on 9/8 or 9/9. I have never been. I was home in Nashville both days. On the afternoon of the 8th, I attended an ultrasound with my wife and stopped to get balloons for a gender reveal with our son that evening. It is a boy if anyone was wondering!"Phillips also provided alleged proof of his claim and stated that he was working during that period. He said:"The following morning, I was at work as usual. Here are photos and surveillance footage below to "prove my whereabouts." Go touch some grass, folks. You are being lied to."The Fort Huachuca theory related to Kirk's assassination was widely shared online after Candace Owens shared an alleged eyewitness account suggesting unusual activity at the Arizona base in September 2025. The eyewitness's name is Mitch Snow.Owens stated that Mitch's statements were not definitive proof. However, some social media users began speculating that Cabot Phillips had been present at the base on September 8 or 9, 2025.Eventually, Cabot shared images and alleged CCTV footage that showed him in Nashville during that period. Candace Owens also responded, saying,"I have texted you multiple times and asked for a response before I published anything. The obvious reason I asked for a texted response is because as most people are aware, you can simply edit your metadata on iPhones, but that edit is easily identifiable if the image is texted."Candace Owens mentioned photo details.
