Conservative commentator Candace Owens has provided fresh information amid intense online scrutiny surrounding Mitch Snow, the man she presented as an eyewitness in the context of Charlie Kirk's death. The controversy now centers on Snow's account of events at Fort Huachuca in early September and whether his timeline aligns with verifiable facts.
Who is Mitch Snow and What Are His Claims?
According to the Dive Pirates Foundation, Mitch Snow is a retired US Army staff sergeant. He has stated he received Special Forces training and served as a combat medic, with a lifelong ambition to become a Green Beret. His military career was cut short by a severe training accident where he fell over 80 feet while scouting a drop zone. Snow reported extensive injuries, including to his ankles, feet, knees, back, neck, and a dislocated shoulder, leading to a medical discharge.
Snow was largely unknown to the public until his appearance on Candace Owens' podcast. There, he claimed he was at Fort Huachuca in early September, around the time of Charlie Kirk's passing. Snow alleged he saw individuals he later connected to Turning Point USA. Specifically, he said he witnessed Brian Harpole, described as Kirk's head of security, leaving a "top brass meeting" around 7:30 am. He also expressed being "95 to 99 percent sure" he recognized Erika Kirk, either in person or from a photograph.
"I do not know these people from TPUSA, never been associated with it," Snow stated during the interview. "They were there, and the head of security was one of the people walking out with the congressman," he added.
Online Doubts and Owens' Response
Snow's account quickly faced skepticism online. Users on platform X questioned the reliability of his memory and the specifics of his story. One user, Sam Parker, posted on 29 December 2025 expressing uncertainty over whether Snow was lying, mistaken, or confused. Others raised questions about travel timelines and records related to Congressman Mark Amodei. While some supporters noted Snow's son confirmed his father was at Fort Huachuca, they agreed that the sightings of specific individuals remained unverified.
In response to the growing debate, Candace Owens clarified her position. She emphasized that she never presented Snow's words as definitive proof. Owens described some of the criticism as a "bizarre misinformation campaign" and stressed the need for concrete, checkable information. "We now need solid information on the whereabouts of all mentioned so we can move on," Owens stated.
She also addressed claims by other media figures, noting that information about flight records did not completely cover the period of the alleged meeting. Owens highlighted the limited responses or silence from several individuals named in Snow's account, including Cabot Phillips.
The Path Forward: Seeking Verified Facts
As the story continues to spread, it has drawn in figures linked to Turning Point USA, media personalities, and other public individuals. The core questions remain simple: Who is Mitch Snow? What exactly did he claim? And what can be confirmed with certainty?
Currently, Snow's statements remain allegations without official confirmation. No public investigation has validated his claims, and no corroborating evidence has been presented. Candace Owens has called for answers to come from verified records rather than speculation or online outrage. She has urged anyone with tangible proof to contact her team directly to help advance the case based on clear facts.
The resolution of this matter now hinges on the availability of clear documentation and verified facts, moving beyond the noise of social media debate to establish what truly happened.
