Candace Owens Said Charlie Kirk Being a 'Time Traveler' Is an 'Absolute Fact'
Candace Owens called the planet 'ghetto' while discussing Charlie Kirk.
Owens began by stating it was "an absolute fact" that Kirk "thought he was a time traveler."
"He told me he was a time traveler repeatedly," she reiterated. "I showed you guys that text message exchange. I said to him in response that I didn't feel the same way and I thought I was from another planet. That I was an alien. My entire life. Just do not get it here."
"This planet is ghetto," Owens continued. "That's how I feel. I don't understand it. The rules don't make sense."
She then turned to talking about cats, insisting they "think humanity is ghetto" and "don't want to be around us."
Candace Owens Alleges Charlie Kirk Was a 'Marked Man'

Owens claimed Kirk was a 'marked man.'
Owens later went on to insist Kirk was a "marked" man.
"Charlie may have been marked since he was a child," she said. "We've discussed these gate programs they have in school, and I just think on the basis of what he told me that when he was really young they wanted to drug him, but his mother said no, and he was really grateful for that.
"And instead they decided that they could send him to this X-Men school," she added, noting it was a "school for the gifted."
Later, she belabored her point, claiming they "knew something about Charlie" and "that's why they had him marked."
She also explained unnamed actors thought killing Kirk could change a future outcome.
"For the first time in his life, Charlie picked his head up and began to push back in a meaningful way," she elaborated, noting this resistance caused people in the "deep state" to worry.
