Alex Jones have been attacking Candace Owens for her conspiracy theories related to Charlie Kirk’s murder. Recently, on December 23, Candace Owens reacted to a post on X, which suggested Alex Jones has been using psychiatry to discredit her theories.

The political commentator reshared the post of John Mappin on X, which highlighted how Alex Jones has been employing an old trick by using psychiatry as a political weapon against Candace. In his recent videos, Alex claimed Owens theories are false and also showed concern for her mind. John Mappin’s post also said that such a behavior is not of a gentleman.

John Mappin’s post further highlighted how psychiatry has been used as a glove historically to take over voices of those who refuse to bend. It delegitimizes the speaker rather than speech. John Mappin’s post read:

“From Argument to Asylum - Historically, psychiatry has been the velvet glove over the iron fist of power. When states encounter voices that will not bend, psychiatry is mobilised to do what censorship alone cannot: to delegitimise the speaker, rather than the speech.”

John seemingly showed support for Candace Owens in his post claiming that figures like Alex Jones have been using diagnostic language against Owens by saying that she suffers from some mental illness. John said:

“When figures who claim to oppose authoritarianism begin deploying the same diagnostic language as the authorities, we should take notice. Capture does not always involve money. Sometimes it involves the erosion of standards, the abandonment of good conduct, and the quiet decision that expedience matters more than principle.”

He continued:

“The line that must not be crossed - There is a line in civilised discourse. On one side lies disagreement, however fierce. On the other lies dehumanisation. Psychiatry used as insult sits firmly on the wrong side of that line.”

Candace Owens reshared Mappin's post and called out her critics like Alex Jones, who have used diagnosis as debate strategy. She demanded an actual argument.

“Diagnosis as debate”. Yes, the world has grown tired of this strategy. If you have a counter point, make it. Calling people “crazy” for telling the truth was what made Sigmund Freud famous. He mainstreamed gaslighting children that were being se*ually abused by their relatives. Don’t be like Sigmund Freud. Make an actual argument instead.”

Candace Owens recently unveiled Fort Huachuca theory allegedly linked to Charlie Kirk’s murder

Since Charlie Kirk's murder, the former Daily Wire host has raised numerous questions hinting at involvement of TPUSA and even US military.

The politcal commentator recently used her social media accounts to publicize the incident report for her recent Fort Huachuca theories behind Kirk’s murder. She posted a photo of the incident report for the stated theory.

The latest report was shared following her December 19 podcast, where Owens interviewed an alleged witness and ex-forces agent, Mitch. The witness claimed that on September 9, the day before Charlie’s murder, he traveled to Fort Huachuca for some paperwork.

He claimed to have noticed a high-security, confidential meeting. Furthermore, Mitch revealed that he was quite certain that he saw Charlie's wife Erika Kirk, as well as his head of security Brian Harpole, Cabot Phillips, and possibly others.

Owens claimed Mitch's Fort Huachuca testimony as evidence of a possible conspiracy. She even suggested that the meeting planned or foresaw Charlie Kirk's murder.

As Candace Owens shared her theory, Alex Jones came out and said her witness was false.
