Candace Owens on the Kent Access Story
What This Image Shows
A screenshot of a post on X by Candace Owens, posting as @RealCandaceO, with a linked article preview beneath it. The preview headline reads: Official's Access to F.B.I. Files in Charlie Kirk Case Drew Pushback, with the subheading that an inquiry by Joe Kent, who leads the National Counterterrorism Center, is said to have alarmed Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director. A headshot of Kent runs alongside it.
Owens writes that the article is literally about how Kash Patel is upset that Joe Kent and Tulsi Gabbard are trying to do their jobs and solve the Charlie Kirk murder case, that it is like Kash Patel wants to be the sole point person on this, and asks why, adding that she does not trust him at all. That is her stated opinion about a public official's conduct in office, recorded here as such.
Owens has been the highest-profile public figure pressing on this case, and her reading of the Times report is a large part of why the Kent episode became widely known. The underlying reporting is captured in the Times screenshots in this same cluster, and the written record is at Joe Kent Halt and Foreign Leads. The pressure and platform actions directed at her reporting are covered at X Candace Engagement Bans.
