The fallout from Charlie Kirk’s shocking death continues to ripple through the conservative movement, with Turning Point USA at the epicenter of a growing storm. At the heart of the latest controversy is Pastor Rob McCoy—Charlie’s former spiritual advisor and father to Mikey McCoy, TPUSA’s chief of staff. After Candace Owens publicly questioned the roles and actions of both Mikey and Rob McCoy in the aftermath of Kirk’s death, tensions have reached a boiling point, and the McCoy family is scrambling to defend itself against a wave of viral speculation.

Pastor Rob McCoy: The First Call and the Blood Claim

Rob McCoy has been vocal about the events surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death. In interviews and social media posts, he insists that his son Mikey called him immediately after the shooting, covered in blood and desperate for prayer. “The minute Charlie was shot, he called me,” McCoy said. “He had blood all over him.” These dramatic claims were meant to paint Mikey as a hero—a young man who acted decisively in a moment of crisis.

But footage from the scene tells a different story. Mikey McCoy is seen stepping away from Kirk before he even hits the ground, calmly talking on the phone. There is no evidence of him rushing to help, getting close to the body, or being covered in blood. Instead, he appears detached, almost as if he knew what was about to happen. The video shows Mikey lifting the phone to his ear without dialing—a detail that has set off a wave of online speculation about who he was talking to and when the call actually began.

Conflicting Accounts: Who Did Mikey Call?

The confusion doesn’t end there. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, claims that she was the one on the phone with Mikey after the shooting. According to a New York Times article, Erika received a call from Mikey at 11:23 a.m., moments after Charlie was shot. She describes hearing the words “he’s been shot” before Mikey even screamed them. Both Rob McCoy and Erika insist that Mikey called them within seconds of the shooting, but their stories don’t match. Was there a group call? Did Mikey call one after the other? Or is someone not telling the truth?

The discrepancies have left the public confused and skeptical. If Mikey was already on the phone before the gunshot, as the video suggests, who was he talking to? And why do Rob and Erika’s versions differ so dramatically? The inconsistencies have fueled conspiracy theories and cast doubt on the official narrative.

Candace Owens: The Hero Narrative and Online Backlash

Candace Owens has been relentless in her pursuit of the truth. She has called out the “hero” narrative surrounding Mikey McCoy, questioning why he is being praised when the footage shows him doing little to help. Owens points out that Erika’s public praise for Mikey—thanking him as “the amazing Mikey McCoy” during her first appearance after Charlie’s death—doesn’t match his apparent lack of action at the scene.

Owens’s criticism has resonated with many in the TPUSA orbit, who have described Mikey in glowing terms despite the evidence. “Let me tell you who the heroes were in this whole thing,” one supporter said. “We’re going to start with 23-year-old Mikey McCoy.” The push to elevate Mikey as a heroic figure has only intensified the backlash, as more people question the motives behind the narrative.

Rob McCoy’s Troubling Connections: The Convicted Offender Scandal

The controversy took a darker turn when Candace Owens uncovered disturbing information about Rob McCoy’s leadership at Godspe Calvary Chapel. Owens revealed that McCoy welcomed a convicted offender, Thomas Camino, into his congregation and allowed him to work with youth. Camino was sentenced to eight years in prison for offenses against children, and Owens shared an email from one of his victims detailing the abuse.

Not only did McCoy allow Camino access to young churchgoers, but he also featured him on his podcast, where Camino claimed he was wrongfully convicted. The podcast never condemned Camino’s crimes, and former church members have come forward saying the situation was widely known, prompting many to leave the congregation. “I left after being baptized there because of this,” one person shared online.

The Deleted Sermon and the Israel Pivot

Adding to the suspicion, Rob McCoy delivered a sermon just before Charlie Kirk’s death, claiming that Kirk had “pivoted” on certain issues after a meeting in the Hamptons. McCoy said Kirk was now focusing on Islam, and that his death threats had increased exponentially. The sermon implied that Kirk’s new stance had made him a target—a suggestion that some interpreted as an attempt to shift blame for the assassination onto Muslims.

Podcaster Baron Coleman analyzed McCoy’s sermon live on his stream, only to find the video privated and later deleted from McCoy’s channel. The real-time removal of evidence has raised further questions about what McCoy is trying to hide and why he would erase potentially incriminating material if he had nothing to fear.

The Military Connection and Psychological Warfare

Candace Owens has also highlighted the unusual number of military figures surrounding Charlie Kirk and TPUSA. Rob McCoy’s father was a naval captain and assistant chief of staff for psychological warfare—a background that raises eyebrows about McCoy’s true role in the organization. Owens suggests that the presence of ex-military pastors at TPUSA points to a deeper, more complex story than the public has been told.

Why would a pastor with a military background and expertise in propaganda insist that no one question Charlie’s death or his views on certain issues? The secrecy and the push to control the narrative have only fueled suspicions that something is being covered up.

A Community in Crisis: Searching for Truth

The aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death has left TPUSA and its supporters grappling with a host of unanswered questions. The conflicting accounts from Rob and Erika McCoy, the disturbing revelations about Rob’s leadership, and the suspicious behavior captured on video have created an atmosphere of mistrust and anxiety.

Candace Owens’s investigation has forced the McCoy family into the spotlight, challenging their version of events and demanding accountability. As evidence disappears and new claims surface, the pressure is mounting for the truth to come out.

The Questions That Won’t Go Away

The confrontation between Mikey McCoy’s dad and Candace Owens is more than just a clash of personalities—it’s a battle for the truth in a case that has shaken the conservative movement to its core. The inconsistencies in the McCoy family’s story, the disturbing details about Rob McCoy’s church, and the relentless scrutiny from Owens and others have exposed deep divisions and lingering doubts.

As the investigation continues and more people come forward, the demand for answers will only grow. The legacy of Charlie Kirk, the reputation of TPUSA, and the future of the McCoy family all hang in the balance. For now, the questions remain: Who was really on the phone with Mikey? Why was the blood claim fabricated? And what is Pastor Rob McCoy hiding behind the scenes?

Until those questions are answered, the controversy will not die down—and the search for truth will continue.
