Candace Owens used social media on July 6 to challenge the preliminary hearing involving Tyler Robinson, the man charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In two posts shared on X, Owens described the hearing as a “show trial” and argued that the process was unfair to the defense. Her comments came as prosecutors in Utah began presenting evidence in a hearing that will determine whether the case moves forward to a full trial. Owens also took aim at Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, while urging her followers to remain committed to what she called a fight for the truth.

Candace Owens questions evidence and court process in Tyler Robinson hearing
In her first post, Owens claimed that some evidence would be presented before the defense had a chance to fully examine it. She argued that key materials from federal agencies had not been turned over and criticized a judge’s decision allowing testimony from Lance Twiggs, a witness whom the defense cannot cross-examine during this stage of the case.
Owens wrote in part:
“Today the Tyler Robinson show trial begins. Evidence like text message confessions will be allowed in the court room, despite the fact that Tyler’s defense has not been allowed to vet those messages to determine if they were doctored or who actually sent them.”
