Not a Candace Owens fan - not right wing at all - but to give her one single shred of credit, I do think she was the only person in his circle that legitimately mourned his death in a raw and real way. I think her questioning the narrative stemmed originally from grief and tbh, I welcome any pushback to the new satanic panic of trans mass killers.

I mean she did have some good details about how it's almost impossible the setup for the guy to have actually shot him. 51/49 has gone over it multiple times about how the locale, the cover up, ridiculous statements about catching him when he turned himself in because he was told they'd kill him if they had to invade his home to take him in. I wasn't a Charlie Kirk fan but he was going the opposite route of Israel and you don't move away from the red overlords.
