"Didn’t recover a bullet from a .30-06": Candace Owens questions authorities' claims, says Charlie Kirk was shot with a "completely different gun"

Political commentator Candace Owens has raised many questions on authorities in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder. In her recent podcast aired on October 9, Owens discussed the medical report of the late TPUSA founder. In the episode, she talked about the gunshot wound and challenged the authorities' argument.

According to NBC, hours after Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University, the authorities recovered a Mauser model 98 in nearby woods, which they linked with Kirk's assassination. The report stated that the recovered weapon was a .30-06 caliber rifle that belonged to Kirk's murder suspect's grandfather.

In her Thursday podcast, Candace Owens dismissed the surgeon's speculation that Charlie Kirk's neck stopped the bullet because of his healthy bone density.

She claimed that she referred to multiple sources and suggested that a different weapon might have been used in the shooting.

"Charlie Kirk was shot from the front and the bullet did not exit. And at least a fragment of the bullet was recovered from his neck... They didn't recover a bullet from a .30-06. Just didn't happen... Charlie's death certificate certainly would have reflected that. There is not one reflected onto Charlie Kirk's death certificate because they did not recover a bullet from .30-06...Actually, it means that he was shot with a completely different kind of gun. Obviously, okay, the kind where this would make sense that it didn't cut through him."

She added that the weapon that authorities claimed was used in Charlie Kirk's murder would have "gone through about seven necks."

Candace Owens questions Andrew Kolvet’s post claiming the surgeon called Charlie Kirk "Man of Steel"

I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie. I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.​I just spoke with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital…​He said the bullet “absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.”​But it didn’t go through. Charlie’s body stopped it.​I mentioned to his doctor that there were dozens of staff, students, and special guests standing directly behind Charlie on the other side of the tent, and he replied:​“It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed.”​“His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too.”​In the end, the coroner did find the bullet just beneath the skin.​Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him.​Remarkable. Miraculous.

In her video, Candace Owens said that she could now "officially debunk that Marvel storyline" and showed an X post of TPUSA's spokesperson Andrew Kolvet.

In the September 20 tweet, Kolvet addressed "the lack of an exit wound with Charlie." He wrote that he spoke to the surgeon "who worked on Charlie" following the shooting. Kolvet noted that the surgeon said that the bullet "absolutely should have gone through." He added that Charlie Kirk's body stopped it.

The executive producer of Charlie Kirk's show further added that he told the doctor about people standing behind the late activist when the shooting occurred, to which the surgeon told him:

"It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed. His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too."

Andrew Kolvet added that "even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives," while calling it "miraculous."

In her latest video, Candace Owens said that she agreed with Kolvet that Kirk's body stopped the bullet but questioned the part where he discussed that high bone density was the reason to stop the bullet.

"This is why I hate politics because it requires us to submit to the idea that we were all somehow born yesterday. Life really can just be a Marvel comic with people that are, I guess, a DC comic, where there are men of steel that are able, because they're young, to stop 3,000 lbs of energy that is coming at them. That didn't happen. So where does that leave us, guys? Well, the part that is now extraordinarily suspicious is that Andrew was claiming that he had a conversation with the surgeon who offered up the idea that it really was just your modern Christian miracle," Candace Owens said.

Candace Owens said that authorities would face a "lot of difficulty" in the courtroom to get through the ".30-06 narrative." She also said, "It was not a miracle." The former Daily Wire host also suggested that people must look out for "two people" who "had weapons" on the day of the shooting at the university campus.
