After releasing additional photos of the interior of Charlie Kirk's SUV, Candace Owens was flooded with emails from an unexpected cross-section of experts: stay-at-home mothers who sew, fashion industry professionals, and plastic and reconstructive surgery nurses — all independently concluding that the charred, cardboard-like object is Kirk's burned polyester shirt [1] — Candace Owens "A plastic surgery nurse and multiple fashion experts independently told Candace Owens the charred object found in Charlie Kirk's SUV is his…" 03:20 . She reads one particularly detailed email from a surgical nurse who explains the physical science: polyester is essentially plastic, and when an electrical current passes through it, the fabric melts, hardens into a rigid form, and bonds to the skin beneath it. Removing it in a clinical setting requires a procedure called debridement. The black visible on the object, the nurse explains, is necrotic burned skin — described viscerally as 'burning a piece of chicken skin.' Owens and her team then conducted a makeshift experiment, burning a 50/50 polyester-blend shirt in a fire pit and photographing the result. The visual match to the object in Kirk's SUV, while not perfect given the difference between a fire pit and an explosion, was close enough to stun even Owens herself.
Multiple plastic surgeons, nurses, and fashion industry professionals independently emailed Owens insisting the charred object found in Charlie Kirk's SUV was his burned polyester shirt, not cardboard.
A plastic surgery nurse and multiple fashion experts independently told Candace Owens the charred object found in Charlie Kirk's SUV is his burned polyester shirt fused with necrotic skin. Polyester is plastic — it melts under electrical current, hardens like cardboard, and bonds to the skin beneath it.
