Candace Owens has never been subtle. The pundit and podcaster has spun dozens of unfounded conspiracy theories since her rise from communications director at Charlie Kirk’s conservative youth group, Turning Point USA, to become a far-right digital force with a podcast audience of some six million.

He was shot in the neck by a single bullet fired from a nearby rooftop while speaking at an outdoor campus debate.
