**Candace Owens Makes Shocking Claims About Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect Tyler Robinson**
*Published Oct. 1, 2025, 3:48 p.m. ET*
Candace Owens has made a series of startling new claims regarding Tyler Robinson, the suspect accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to Owens, Robinson was “bewildered when he learned about bullet carvings.” Reports following the shooting suggested that the bullets used in the attack were engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”
### Owens Claims Tyler Robinson’s Father Doesn’t Believe He’s Guilty
Owens also asserted that while the gun involved in the killing did belong to Robinson’s family, he was not a gun enthusiast. She cast doubt on the authenticity of text messages reportedly exchanged between Robinson and his transgender partner, Lance Twiggs.
Significantly, Owens claimed that Robinson’s father does not believe his son is guilty, contradicting other reports that suggested the father encouraged Robinson to turn himself in. Instead, Owens said a family friend informed them that Robinson had already been named as Kirk’s killer.
“How did Tyler Robinson turn himself in, as we were told, but also never confessed?” Owens questioned. “Did he actually author those absurd fed messages? Because I’m thinking, no. Lastly, what was he doing at Dairy Queen? Doesn’t really quite fit into our timeline.”
### Tyler Robinson ‘Never Confessed to This Crime’
Owens reiterated that Robinson allegedly “never confessed to this crime” and “is still pleading innocence on the shooting.”
“In fact, I was told that he was bewildered by the idea that he carved casings,” she said. “I should be clear, he does not dispute the fact that it is his gun at all. It is his gun. But Tyler is not exactly a gun enthusiast.”
Regarding the text messages, Owens claimed she has been “told Robinson was not the author of them.”
“What text messages? He has no idea where these messages came from, believes that they are therefore entirely fictionalized,” she stated. “It turns out, you’re going to be shocked, that he doesn’t actually use words like vehicle, which should come as no surprise to anyone that has a brain. By the way, I’m sure you caught this, but there’s old footage of Tyler Robinson that is now circulating from a car accident that he had.”
### Robinson ‘Has Never Even Been to the UVU Campus’
Beyond her YouTube channel, Owens took to social media to address Robinson’s case further.
“Tyler Robinson is not suicidal,” she recently claimed on her Instagram Story. “The entire narrative that was placed in the media about him having been suicidal is completely fictional, as are many other aspects of what we have been told.”
Following her dismissal of the father’s alleged cooperation in turning Robinson in as “complete fiction,” Owens made another astonishing statement.
“To the contrary, Tyler Robinson maintains his innocence and has never even been to the UVU campus,” she declared. “There are absolutely zero photos or videos that the campus can produce to the contrary. Which is why they have produced nothing other than a blurry image in which Tyler’s family knows is not him.”
She once again stressed that Robinson “never once expressed a suicidal thought.”
### Owens Alleges Government ‘Is Lying’ About Tyler Robinson
Owens sharply accused the federal government of deception, saying, “The federal government is lying about absolutely everything other than the fact that it is his gun.”
She concluded with several further assertions:
“Not that we needed further substantiation but Tyler Robinson did not author those discord messages. I would like to again stress that he has never been to UVU campus, but (and I need to confirm this later) I believe he was AROUND the campus that day.
“I will have more on this later but I wanted to immediately publish that the Tyler Robinson suicide narrative, plus the ‘dad that did the right thing after realizing his son was guilty’ is a federal concoction.”
### Background: The Shooting of Charlie Kirk
As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, Charlie Kirk was at Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday, September 10, as part of his Turning Point USA fall 2025 tour.
Approximately 20 minutes into his event, Kirk was shot in the neck. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
