A new and explosive eyewitness account shared by conservative commentator Candace Owens has ignited a fierce online debate surrounding the circumstances of Charlie Kirk's death. On a recent episode of her podcast, Owens presented claims from a man identified only as 'Mitch', who alleges he saw Erika Kirk at a secure military installation just hours before the reported killing.
The Eyewitness Account from a Former Special Forces Operative
During the podcast, Candace Owens interviewed Mitch, described as a former special forces operative. He stated that in early September, he was at the Fort Huachuca military base in Arizona to obtain certain records. Mitch reported noticing an unusually heightened military presence on the base that day.
He claimed he was questioned by officials and instructed to leave the area for a minimum of 24 hours. At the time, Mitch said he did not pay significant attention to the individuals he observed. However, his perspective changed dramatically after news of Charlie Kirk's death became public.
"I don't know these people from TP USA, never been associated with it," Mitch told Owens, referring to the political organization Turning Point USA. "I could recognise Charlie Kirk, probably." He elaborated that he later connected the dots after seeing photographs. "But what I started seeing come across and got more familiar once I saw a picture of somebody in a ponytail with those eyes, that was that person," he stated.
Alleged Sighting of Erika Kirk and Security Head Brian Harpole
The core of Mitch's claim is that he saw Erika Kirk, who was with Charlie Kirk's head of security, Brian Harpole. He alleged they were exiting the facility alongside a congressman. Mitch expressed high confidence in his identification, stating he is "95 to 99 per cent" sure of what he witnessed.
He attributed this certainty to his self-described strong facial recognition skills. "There's a picture with Erika Kirk with a ponytail from her past, that person matches who I saw at Fort Huachuca in the lobby," Mitch asserted during the podcast interview. Candace Owens emphasized that this account was presented as a firsthand testimony on her show and not as an official finding from any investigation.
Questions Raised and the Search for Answers
Candace Owens argued that these allegations raise serious and troubling questions. She questioned why key individuals linked to Turning Point USA would be present at a restricted military site on the night preceding Charlie Kirk's death. Owens stressed that her motivation is the pursuit of truth, not political point-scoring, and she believes the public is entitled to clear and transparent answers.
As of now, there is no independent confirmation from police or federal agencies to support these claims. The official investigation has not verified or commented on the witness statement presented in the podcast. Despite the lack of official corroboration, the story has captured significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the individuals involved and the gravity of the allegations being made.
Owens stated that she has lost faith in the official narrative of events and is demanding a full explanation of what truly transpired in the final hours before Charlie Kirk's death. The online discourse continues to be heavily divided, with some calling for a deeper investigation based on these claims and others urging caution until verified evidence emerges.
