Charlie Kirk bullet row: Nick Fuentes slams Candace Owens amid Tyler Robinson trial; ‘misrepresents information’
Tyler Robinson is being tried for the murder of Charlie Kirk and his legal team has claimed that the ATF could not identify the bullet recovered to his rifle.
Tyler Robinson, the Utah native, is being tried for the murder of Charlie Kirk. He stands accused of shooting and killing Kirk when he was attending an event at the Utah Valley University on September 10. Now, his trial has got conservative podcasters beefing after Robinson's legal team made shocking claims.
Nick Fuentes, the far-right commentator, has taken on Candace Owens in a recent X post, slamming claims made about the bullet recovered in Kirk's shooting.
What Nick Fuentes told Candace Owens
Fuentes, on a rant, said “Obviously they just lied and the headline misrepresents the information.” “The legal defense for Tyler Robinson which makes sense, said the bullet couldn’t be identified, not that it doesn’t match, stupid,” he added.
The person sharing the post wrote “Nick Fuentes snapped on Candace Owens and her fans that are pushing the Daily Mail headline about Charlie Kirk without reading the actual article.”
However, the Mail article does not quite mention what Fuentes claims in his video. Robinson's defense attorneys argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives could not ‘identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson.’ Thus, the attorneys appear to be talking about the bullet not matching the gun allegedly used by Robinson.

Owens, notably, had spread numerous conspiracy theories in the wake of Kirk's assassination. She had kept on pushing towards the possibility that there was more at play. Now, with the new information, Owens has jubilantly declared ahead of her latest episode that Robinson being a ‘patsy’ is a matter to be discussed.
Her latest episode has drawn its share of backlash.
Laura Loomer slams Candace Owens
Owens' latest episode sees her make some outrageous claims. Conservative commentator and Donald Trump loyalist, Laura Loomer, was among the first people to criticize her.
“Candace Owens is now calling for Tyler Robinson, the man who killed Charlie Kirk, to be acquitted,” she said, sharing a screenshot of Owens' latest podcast episode.
“She is completely insane and she truly wants to see Charlie’s killer walk free because he chose Erika over her. This is pure evil,” Loomer continued.
The news about the bullet comes amid a row surrounding Joe Kent, President Donald Trump's former Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center. He quit his job over the war in Iran, but had been among the vocal few who had earlier pushed for a probe of foreign hand in Kirk's death.
