Which social media posts contained Candace Owens' claims about Erika Kirk and what were their timestamps?
Executive summary
Reporting compiled from the provided sources shows Candace Owens repeatedly made public claims and shared materials alleging suspicious links between Erika Kirk and foreign actors (notably Egyptian aircraft) and has posted those claims across social platforms and podcasts since mid‑September through early December 2025 (examples noted on Dec. 2–4, 2025) [1] [2] [3]. Available sources summarize many of her posts and viral clips but do not provide an exhaustive list of every social‑media post or exact timestamps for each claim; the sources cite specific posts and dates (e.g., an X clip posted Dec. 3, 2025) but do not supply full timestamp metadata for all items [4] [2] [3].
1. How the record looks: public posts, clips and podcast excerpts
Multiple outlets document that Owens took her theories about Charlie Kirk’s death and Erika Kirk to social platforms and her show: long videos and threads beginning mid‑September, leaked texts and flight‑tracking screenshots in late November, and a string of posts in early December in which she said she had “new information” and alleged betrayal by Turning Point USA leadership [1] [5] [2]. Coverage cites a short video clip posted to X on Dec. 3, 2025, and social posts from Dec. 2–4 where she escalated accusations and named names to come [4] [2] [3].
2. What specific claims about Erika Kirk were posted publicly
Reported claims include: that two Egyptian military aircraft “crossed paths” with Erika Kirk’s travel 73 times from 2022–2025 and that one plane’s transponder was active at Provo Airport the morning of the shooting; that Erika appeared “suspiciously calm” or “on autopilot”; and that Owens would name TPUSA figures she alleged betrayed Charlie Kirk [6] [5] [4] [2]. Outlets also record Owens releasing private texts from Charlie Kirk and discussing a podcast clip that upset Erika Kirk, all of which circulated online [7] [8] [9].
3. What the sources actually provide on timing and timestamps
The assembled reporting includes some date markers for notable posts—mid‑September threads, late‑November flight‑data posts, and specific early‑December posts and clips (for example, an X clip on Dec. 3 and social exchanges on Dec. 2–4) [1] [4] [2] [3]. None of the provided articles, however, publishes a comprehensive list of every social‑media post or the precise timestamps (hour:minute:second) for each claim. Therefore, available sources do not list full timestamps for each social post you asked about [4] [2] [3].
4. Disputes, denials and reactions from those targeted
Turning Point USA and allies publicly pushed back: TPUSA figures and allies called Owens’s statements false, reckless or self‑enriching, and organized an on‑the‑record response to her claims (TPUSA scheduled a response event; Owens replied on X) [3]. Conservative commentators and TPUSA associates likewise criticized her for “attacking Charlie’s closest friends” and for releasing private messages [10] [7]. Other outlets frame her behavior as driving online fury for upsetting Erika Kirk [8] [9]. These competing viewpoints are recorded in the sources [3] [8] [10].
5. What is verifiable in the reporting and what is not
The sources verify Owens made multiple public posts and media appearances pushing her theories, that she released private messages, and that specific posts and clips circulated publicly in early December [7] [4] [2]. The sources do not verify the underlying conspiracy claims about Erika Kirk and Egyptian planes; they note Owens “has said” or “asserted” these links and that police or officials have not confirmed them [4] [6]. The sources also do not supply a complete, timestamped log of every social‑media post by Owens—so a claim that such a log exists in these materials would be unsupported by the provided reporting [4] [2].
6. What you can do next to get exact timestamps
To obtain the precise timestamps you asked for, consult primary records: the original posts on X (formerly Twitter), YouTube upload metadata, or archived copies (e.g., Internet Archive, social‑media records) and screenshots from Owens’s accounts; news summaries cite dates but lack minute‑level timestamps [4] [2] [3]. If you want, I can compile a targeted list of the primary posts identified in these articles (e.g., the Dec. 3 X clip, Dec. 2–4 X replies, the late‑November flight‑data thread) and recommend search queries and archives to retrieve exact metadata and timestamps from the original posts [4] [2] [3].
Limitations and transparency: my account here relies solely on the provided articles; they summarize Owens’s posts and reactions, but they do not publish a full, timestamped inventory of each social post alleging things about Erika Kirk [4] [2] [3]. If you want a minute‑by‑minute reconstruction, I can guide you to primary sources and archival tools that the current reporting references but does not reproduce [4] [2].
