Candace Owens has made a controversial claim related to her Fort Huachuca theory and an alibi provided by Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, for September 8, 2025. Owens' Fort Huachuca theory is related to Charlie's assassination.
Following Charlie Kirk's murder during an event at Utah Valley University in September 2025, Erika Kirk has gained notable attention as a significant Turning Point USA figure. Erika has also appeared on a TPUSA tour.
Candace Owens shared her Fort Huachuca theory after Mitch Snow, an alleged retired US Army staff member, appeared on Owens' podcast and claimed he was present at Fort Huachuca in September 2025. Snow alleged that he saw individuals related to Turning Point USA at the base. He also stated that he was "95 to 99 percent sure" that he recognized Erika Kirk at the venue.
Erika Kirk's alibi for the theory is related to an alleged text conversation, which was shared with Candace Owens through Turning Point USA intermediary Justin Streiff. The message allegedly showed Erika and Charlie discussing what she was going to make for dinner at the same time Snow said he saw her at the Fort Huachuca hotel.
During her podcast, Candace Owens explained that her issue was related to the contact name for "Charlie" allegedly being blacked out. Owens stated,
"I need to see Charlie's name. You just send me the quick video of her opening that."
He also added,
"I now very much believe there is something here. I think we know. Something happened at Fort Huachuca."
Netizens reacted, saying,
"She said the same thing about the planes, & then just moved on to this hoping people forgot that she provided to provide proof for it. lol she’s such a liar."
