Fact check: Who does Candace Owens think killed Charlie kirk

Checked on September 18, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about Candace Owens' thoughts on who killed Charlie Kirk. According to the analyses provided, Candace Owens has suggested that billionaire Bill Ackman pressured Charlie Kirk due to his stance on Israel [1]. Additionally, she has also pointed fingers at Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's involvement, suggesting it is suspicious [2]. However, it is crucial to note that Bill Ackman has denied these allegations, calling them slanderous [3]. The other analyses provided do not mention Candace Owens' thoughts on who killed Charlie Kirk [4] [5] [6].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key piece of missing context is that Charlie Kirk is actually alive, and the discussions around his death appear to be part of conspiracy theories [1]. This context is vital as it frames the entire discussion around Candace Owens' statements. Alternative viewpoints include the denial by Bill Ackman of the allegations made against him [3], and the lack of mention of Candace Owens' thoughts in other analyses, which might suggest that her views are not widely reported or are not considered significant in the broader discussion about Charlie Kirk [4] [5] [6]. The involvement of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, as suggested by Candace Owens, adds a complex geopolitical dimension [2], which may benefit those who wish to highlight international pressures and conspiracies.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may contain potential misinformation as it presupposes Charlie Kirk's death, which is not accurate [1]. This could benefit those who spread conspiracy theories or wish to create a narrative around Charlie Kirk's supposed death. The framing of the question also focuses on Candace Owens' thoughts, which might bias the discussion towards her perspective and the conspiracy theories she has suggested [1] [2]. Meanwhile, Bill Ackman and possibly Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu might be negatively impacted by these allegations, which could be seen as an attempt to shift blame or create controversy [3]. The lack of broader reporting on Candace Owens' views in other analyses could indicate that her statements are not widely accepted or are considered part of a fringe narrative [4] [5] [6].
