In a significant development within conservative media circles, commentator Laura Loomer has asserted that she was instrumental in shifting Alex Jones's perspective regarding Candace Owens and her controversial claims about the death of activist Charlie Kirk. Loomer stated that the InfoWars host has now "seen the light" about what she calls Owens's "malicious and insane" behaviour.
The InfoWars Confrontation and Unproven Allegations
The backdrop to this claim is a public clash on Alex Jones's platform. On December 22, 2025, during an episode of InfoWars, Jones directly challenged Candace Owens over her statements concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk. Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed in Utah on September 10, 2025.
Since the tragedy, Owens, a former Turning Point USA collaborator, has circulated multiple theories without presenting verified evidence. These theories, as reported by CNN, have included allegations of involvement by the United States, Egypt, and France. Owens also asserted that Kirk was "betrayed" by the leadership of his own organisation.
The situation escalated when Owens presented an alleged eyewitness, a man named Mitch, on her December 19 podcast. Mitch claimed he was "95 to 99 per cent" sure he saw Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk, and security head Brian Harpole at Fort Huachuca in Arizona hours before the shooting. This specific claim triggered intense reactions across right-wing media platforms.
Loomer's Role and Jones's Rebuttal
Laura Loomer entered the fray on December 24, 2025, by quote-tweeting one of Jones's posts on X. She took credit for altering his viewpoint after a lengthy private discussion. "I'm proud to say that I am responsible for @RealAlexJones seeing the light," Loomer wrote. She revealed that their conversation weeks prior focused on "bad actors in the woke right" and that Jones was beginning to agree with her long-held position.
This private talk seemingly preceded Jones's on-air rebuttal. On InfoWars, Jones contested the eyewitness account, stating that Brian Harpole had provided flight records showing he was in Dallas, not Arizona, at the time in question. Jones reposted a video on X accusing Mitch of fabricating the story and wrote that Owens was accusing "innocent people with ironclad alibis."
Owens fired back on X on December 22, arguing that the flight records did not constitute a valid alibi for the 7:30 am timeframe. She stated she had already obtained the records and shared them with her audience, and had also texted Harpole for a response.
Ongoing Tensions and Unresolved Questions
The core allegations remain unsubstantiated by public evidence. Erika Kirk has not issued a public response to the recent claims. However, it is reported that she and Candace Owens met for a 4.5-hour private discussion on December 15, 2025. Following that meeting, Erika Kirk posted on X that it was "a very productive conversation."
The episode highlights deepening fissures within a segment of conservative media, with prominent figures now publicly divided over the narrative surrounding Charlie Kirk's death. Laura Loomer's proclamation indicates a concerted effort to sway opinion against Owens's theories, with Alex Jones's influential platform becoming a key battleground. The situation continues to develop, with the central theories about the killing still lacking confirmation from law enforcement or credible evidence presented to the public.
