Candace Owens responds to death hoax with controversial Charlie Kirk remarks
Owens addressed the false reports in a post on X after fabricated claims circulated online, including a fake obituary and social media posts alleging that her family had confirmed her death.
She wrote:
“Thank you all for the messages of concern but I am not dead. If I were, it would be entirely appropriate for you to have blamed Israel. 🤷♀️ Somewhat relatedly, Charlie Kirk was not concerned he was going to be killed by a transgendered furry after a full day of arguing with Zionists about him abandoning the pro-Israel cause. Hope this helps.”
