Candace Owens has recently declared that a disputed Fort Huachuca theory allegedly linked to the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk is now "confirmed." She made the claim during her podcast and on official social media handles, and it triggered a wave of notable reactions.It is worth noting that Candace Owens' controversial statement relies mainly on an alleged eyewitness account from a former special forces operative, who is referred to as "Mitch."Fort Huachuca is a U.S. Army base in Arizona. Candace Owens claimed that an eyewitness noted alleged activity at the base on September 9, 2025, the day before Charlie Kirk was assassinated. She noted that the eyewitness may have misidentified Erika Kirk.A netizen reacted, saying,"So you find a random guy online, let him accuse Erika and Brian Harpole of criminal behavior … and he might have misidentified them? That is not journalism. That's negligence. A real investigation verifies allegations BEFORE publishing accusations. What you ran was not reporting. It was tabloid trash. This is why virtually nobody likes you anymore."Bren @bren45000LINK@RealCandaceO “We continue to focus our investigation on those points and remain open to the possibility that the people he believed he saw, may have been misidentified.” So you find a random guy online, let him accuse Erika and Brian Harpole of criminal behavior … and he might’veInternet reactionsCandace Owens took to her official X (formerly Twitter) page to state that she had received an incident report allegedly connected to Fort Huachuca. She also claimed that it supported Mitch's account of what happened on September 9, 2025.Owens stated,"🚨Fort Huachuca Confirmed🚨Find your favorite podcaster who joined the psychological operation to convince you Mitch was lying about having been at Fort Huachuca on 9/9 because I have just received the incident report."Candace Owens outlined Mitch's version of events. According to Owens, Mitch said he was taken outside by Captain Neff and was questioned before officials decided to call military police and report him as a possible bomb threat.Owens also added,"I always believed Mitch's story of what happened on that morning because he supplied overwhelming evidence with metadata and time stamps. Now we have the incident report. What we cannot confirm as of yet, is his memory of who he is convinced he saw coming out of that early morning meeting."Netizens were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of Candace Owens' X post to pen their thoughts on the matter. Below are some of their reactions:"If Mitch's account is accurate, and I am increasingly certain to believe it is, the unfolding of events is so remarkable & extraordinary that it points to divine intervention at work.", stated an X user."More sleight of hand by Candace. The reality is people are not questioning whether Mitch actually went to Fort Huachuca. What we are questioning and for VERY GOOD REASON because it never happened is his absurd insinuations that he saw Brian Harpole and even Erika Kirk at the base.", commented another."I will end up being right on this. The man made up a story but I love Candace's endless mission to ask question & nobody should ever try to stop her from asking.", wrote a third.Others also chimed in:"The fact that you are being attacked for asking questions or following leads, confirming when the data emerges, is a complete reflection on the masses being exposed to subliminal programming. When the drainstream news hints, the masses take it as fact. Those that are not paid to attack you are just projecting this onto you. Critical thinking needs to be brought back into our education system. Politics is dead! Long live investigative journalism. 🙏✌️🌹", declared a netizen."I did not hear many people doubt he went to the HQ at FTH. What I do hear, and share significant concern over, is that Mitch's credibility is suspect in his story about being a Green Beret and the part about positively ID'ing various Charlie Kir k adjacent people at FTH. I still urge significant caution, as veterans are very uncomfortable with his handling of military details, assertions about his career and experience, plus the gross poor judgment he exhibited as a veteran showing up to the HQ unannounced and without invitation.", added another."Why accuse Candace Owens of lying if you don't have evidence she is lying? Just say I don't know. Why is it so upsetting to you? Is it because she is threatening to expose a lie or network of liars that you benefit from? Alex Jones freak out only makes sense if he is protecting something. He presented zero actual evidence that Candace was lying.", penned a third.Notably, Mitch has been mentioned multiple times in Candace Owens' coverage of the case regarding Charlie Kirk's murder. On her podcast, Candace Owens has claimed Mitch is a former special forces operative who was at Fort Huachuca in September 2025 to "get records."Mitch allegedly claimed he noticed a heavy military presence that day and was later questioned by officials. He said he was instructed to leave the area for at least 24 hours.According to Mitch, it was after Charlie Kirk's death became public that he began to think about what he had seen. Mitch also said that Brian Harpole, Kirk's security head, was present during the alleged meeting. He was "95 to 99 per cent" sure of Brian's identification.Candace Owens has told her listeners that the witness account raises serious questions about why figures linked to Turning Point USA would be at a restricted military site. She also invited anyone with further information to come forward and provided a dedicated email address for this.As of now, Brian Harpole, Erika Kirk, or TPUSA have not issued any official statements regarding this Fort Huachuca theory.Also Read: "The same Cabot Phillips that used to date Erika?": Internet erupts after Candace Owens claims the Daily Wire editor tried to speak at UVU for free"Alex is compromised in many ways": Internet reacts as Candace Owens challenges Alex Jones over Brian Harpole's alleged Fort Huachuca meeting"Charlie would have taken you off that stage": Internet reacts to Megyn Kelly's AmFest 2025 appearance after her "For Charlie" post
