Only two days into a preliminary hearing for the Tyler Robinson murder case and newly presented security footage and testimony are contradicting a conspiracy peddled by Candace Owens.<\/p>\n

Owens has accused more than a dozen individuals and shadowy groups or governments of being involved in the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, while saying Robinson is being framed or used as a patsy. The late conservative\u2019s widow, Erika Kirk, has notably been a routine target of Owens\u2019 unsupported theories.<\/p>\n

Just days ago, Owens repeated her belief that Robinson was not on the Utah Valley University campus at all on the day Kirk was murdered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Tyler Robinson was there,\u201d she told podcast host Shawn Ryan. \u201cI think he\u2019s a total patsy. I think they get lookalikes. They get everybody to wear the same outfits. I believe he played a role, and what he did was he picked up clothes and he dumped them behind the Dairy Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the interview, Owens again raised questions about whether Israel or other \u201cheavy players\u201d were connected to Kirk\u2019s murder and cast suspicion on Erika. At one point in the same interview, Owens said she felt \u201cgutted\u201d because Erika never actually loved her late husband. Owens cited Erika\u2019s decision to quickly step into a leadership role at TPUSA after the assassination as part of her reasoning.<\/p>\n

During Tuesday\u2019s preliminary hearing, which will determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence for Robinson to stand trial, a number of security videos showed a man on the Utah Valley University campus who authorities testified was Robinson.<\/p>\n

One video appeared to show Robinson walking with a \u201climp,\u201d according to David Hull, a former Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent. Notably, reports previously indicated that Robinson appeared to walk with a stiff right leg before the shooting, or with an unusual gait, indicating he was likely concealing a rifle under his clothing.<\/p>\n

Another video presented in court shows the man believed to be Robinson climbing over the railing of the Losee Center and moving into a prone position just seconds before Kirk was fatally shot.<\/p>\n

Security footage also showed a person believed to be Robinson seconds after Kirk was fatally shot. The person was seen running along the top of a campus building \u201cbefore dropping down onto the grass and heading away from campus on foot, carrying something,\u201d The New York Times reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video compilation (exhibit 12.4) of Tyler <\/span>Robinson<\/span> visiting UVU <\/span>campus<\/span> four times <\/span>on<\/span> 9\/10 (the last visit stretching into the early morning hours of 9\/11) will be submitted as evidence and broadcast to the media. Here\u2019s the video,\u201d TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said. \u201cWhen you watch it, you\u2019ll understand why the defense fought so hard against allowing it to be seen by the public.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Robinson\u2019s parents also recognized him from images released by law enforcement following the shooting, and Robinson apparently made statements that led his parents to believe he killed Kirk. Matt Robinson, the suspect\u2019s father, drove his son to surrender himself to authorities.<\/p>\n

Some independent journalists and conservatives \u2014 including those who were close to Kirk \u2014 slammed Owens for spreading the apparent lies about the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompare the video of Candace Owens claiming last week that Tyler Robinson was never on the UVU campus on the day Charlie Kirk was killed and the extended footage presented in court today of Robinson visiting campus 4 times that day,\u201d conservative commentator AG Hamilton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCandace Owens led thousands of people astray and lied, claiming that Tyler never stepped foot on campus that day,\u201d journalist Sarah Fields said. \u201cThis is embarrassing \u2014 for her and for everyone she effectively brainwashed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without naming Owens, CEO of The Babylon Bee, Seth Dillon, commented on the mounting evidence against Robinson and those spreading falsehoods about the case.<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]here\u2019s a reason so many people are unwilling to let the evidence speak for itself. The well was poisoned for exactly that purpose,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe goal of the months-long internet \u2018investigation\u2019 has been to pre-bunk the real one so that its findings, when they eventually surfaced, would be widely dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShame on anyone who\u2019s defended this malicious campaign as \u2018just asking questions\u2019 or \u2018the actions of a true friend,’\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Owens is denying the person in the video footage is Robinson. She is now suggesting the man is Lance Twiggs, Robinson\u2019s trans-identifying lover. \u201cThe person walking in the video they are presenting is very clearly a TALL person. Well above 6 feet,\u201d she wrote on X. \u201cNo way that is a 5\u201910 or 5\u201911 person. How tall is Lance Twiggs?\u201d<\/p>\n

This was my exact point. The person walking in the video they are presenting is very clearly a TALL person. Well above 6 feet.

\u201cHas anybody wanted anything as badly as Candace wants Charlie\u2019s murderer to go free?\u201d Blake Neff, producer of \u201cThe Charlie Kirk Show,\u201d reacted.<\/p>\n

Manhattan Institute fellow Colin Wright called Owens \u201cunfathomably idiotic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe thinks she has the ability to determine the height of a person to within 1 inch simply from a video,\u201d he said. \u201cTyler Robinson might appear<\/span> tall at first glance, but that\u2019s because he\u2019s skinny and lanky. Candace saying that he \u2018looks to me to be 6\u20192 minimally\u2019 is just stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Looks to me\u2019? Based on what method that allows for only 1 inch of wiggle room?\u201d he continued to ridicule Owens. \u201cShe has no method, just vibes. It simply isn\u2019t possible to determine how tall someone is from a video or photo that lacks a clear reference point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told you Candace would be spinning off endless conspiracies from the trial footage,\u201d Wright added. \u201cIt has already started, and it\u2019s only going to get a lot more insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blue Route Journal","og_description":"Only two days into a preliminary hearing for the Tyler Robinson murder case and newly presented security footage and testimony are contradicting a conspiracy peddled by Candace Owens.Owens has accused more than a dozen individuals and shadowy groups or governments of being involved in the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, while saying Robinson is being framed or used as a patsy. The late conservative\u2019s widow, Erika Kirk, has notably been a routine target of Owens\u2019 unsupported theories.Just days ago, Owens repeated her belief that Robinson was not on the Utah Valley University campus at all on the day Kirk was murdered.\u201cI don\u2019t think Tyler Robinson was there,\u201d she told podcast host Shawn Ryan. \u201cI think he\u2019s a total patsy. I think they get lookalikes. They get everybody to wear the same outfits. I believe he played a role, and what he did was he picked up clothes and he dumped them behind the Dairy Queen.\u201dLISTEN: The Trial of Tyler Robinson: Making the Case Day 2During the interview, Owens again raised questions about whether Israel or other \u201cheavy players\u201d were connected to Kirk\u2019s murder and cast suspicion on Erika. At one point in the same interview, Owens said she felt \u201cgutted\u201d because Erika never actually loved her late husband. Owens cited Erika\u2019s decision to quickly step into a leadership role at TPUSA after the assassination as part of her reasoning.During Tuesday\u2019s preliminary hearing, which will determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence for Robinson to stand trial, a number of security videos showed a man on the Utah Valley University campus who authorities testified was Robinson.One video appeared to show Robinson walking with a \u201climp,\u201d according to David Hull, a former Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent. Notably, reports previously indicated that Robinson appeared to walk with a stiff right leg before the shooting, or with an unusual gait, indicating he was likely concealing a rifle under his clothing.Another video presented in court shows the man believed to be Robinson climbing over the railing of the Losee Center and moving into a prone position just seconds before Kirk was fatally shot.Security footage also showed a person believed to be Robinson seconds after Kirk was fatally shot. The person was seen running along the top of a campus building \u201cbefore dropping down onto the grass and heading away from campus on foot, carrying something,\u201d The New York Times reported.\u201cThe video compilation (exhibit 12.4) of Tyler Robinson visiting UVU campus four times on 9\/10 (the last visit stretching into the early morning hours of 9\/11) will be submitted as evidence and broadcast to the media. Here\u2019s the video,\u201d TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said. \u201cWhen you watch it, you\u2019ll understand why the defense fought so hard against allowing it to be seen by the public.\u201dRobinson\u2019s parents also recognized him from images released by law enforcement following the shooting, and Robinson apparently made statements that led his parents to believe he killed Kirk. Matt Robinson, the suspect\u2019s father, drove his son to surrender himself to authorities.Some independent journalists and conservatives \u2014 including those who were close to Kirk \u2014 slammed Owens for spreading the apparent lies about the case.\u201cCompare the video of Candace Owens claiming last week that Tyler Robinson was never on the UVU campus on the day Charlie Kirk was killed and the extended footage presented in court today of Robinson visiting campus 4 times that day,\u201d conservative commentator AG Hamilton said.Compare the video of Candace Owens claiming last week that Tyler Robinson was never on the UVU campus on the day Charlie Kirk was killed and the extended footage presented in court today of Robinson visiting campus 4 times that day\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/2E7NUcjuS8\u2014 AG (@AGHamilton29) July 7, 2026\u201cCandace Owens led thousands of people astray and lied, claiming that Tyler never stepped foot on campus that day,\u201d journalist Sarah Fields said. \u201cThis is embarrassing \u2014 for her and for everyone she effectively brainwashed.\u201dWithout naming Owens, CEO of The Babylon Bee, Seth Dillon, commented on the mounting evidence against Robinson and those spreading falsehoods about the case.\u201c[T]here\u2019s a reason so many people are unwilling to let the evidence speak for itself. The well was poisoned for exactly that purpose,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe goal of the months-long internet \u2018investigation\u2019 has been to pre-bunk the real one so that its findings, when they eventually surfaced, would be widely dismissed.\u201d\u201cShame on anyone who\u2019s defended this malicious campaign as \u2018just asking questions\u2019 or \u2018the actions of a true friend,'\u201d he added.Unsurprisingly, Owens is denying the person in the video footage is Robinson. She is now suggesting the man is Lance Twiggs, Robinson\u2019s trans-identifying lover. \u201cThe person walking in the video they are presenting is very clearly a TALL person. Well above 6 feet,\u201d she wrote on X. \u201cNo way that is a 5\u201910 or 5\u201911 person. How tall is Lance Twiggs?\u201dThis was my exact point. The person walking in the video they are presenting is very clearly a TALL person.
