Right wing influencer Candace Owens has released screenshots from group chat involving Charlie Kirk just hours before his assassination took place.
Owens, who was friends with Kirk, has previously made shocking claims that ‘threats were made’ to the political commentator in the weeks leading up to his death.
Owens alleged that Kirk had been subject to an ‘intervention’ by Bill Ackman, who is a billionaire hedge fund manager, before the shooting.
She said this was because: “Charlie’s thoughts, Charlie’s rational thoughts about Israel were a ‘no no, this is not the route that you should be going on’, and Charlie was surrounded by his friends, his quote unquote friends, Bill Ackman was very upset and threats were made.”

Ackman has taken to X, formerly Twitter, to deny the claims made by Owens.
Now, the influencer is taking things further by sharing apparent screenshots of a conversation that was had in a group chat involving Kirk.
In the chat, Kirk allegedly said: “Just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won’t cancel Tucker. I’m thinking of inviting Candace.”
He went on to say: “Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot and will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.”
Another person in the group, whose identity has been hidden by Owens, replied to Kirk by saying: “Please don’t invite Candace. That might feel good short term but it’s not good long term, in my opinion.
“Like all groups, you’re going to get a wide variety of opinions. That nasty free will thing that God bestowed upon us makes life frustrating at times. After the dust settles a bit, maybe.”
Speaking about the screenshots on her podcast, Owens said: “This is 48 hours before Charlie was assassinated. He was very clear and he was very explicit, and he did not back down in that Hamptons meeting which they’re all lying about nor in this text thread.”
Kirk lost his life last month after he was shot in the neck while on stage addressing a 3,000-strong crowd at Utah Valley University (UVU).
The appearance was part of his ‘American Comeback’ tour and the political commentator was answering questions on various moral issues including gun control when he was struck in the neck.
Following Kirk’s shooting, a manhunt was conducted by the FBI, which resulted in the arrest of 22 year old Tyler Robinson 33 hours later.
