It’s a situation that’s raising eyebrows.
Former President Donald Trump has suggested that Erika Kirk consider legal action following her portrayal in a viral comedy skit by the controversial comedian Druski.
The comedian, who often stirs debate with his work, sparked conservative ire with his recent skit where he impersonates Erika Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA. The video, titled “How Conservative Women in America Act,” has amassed over 184 million views on various social media platforms.
While Charlie Kirk has yet to comment on the skit, Trump offered his own take during an Easter luncheon at the White House, where he encountered Erika Kirk.
“I think you should sue him,” Trump suggested with a smile, refraining from mentioning Druski by name.
He added, “I told her, ‘You ought to sue some of these folks.’ They’re envious of Erika.”
Trump then told Erika to “sue their a– off,” which sparked laughter and applause in the room.
Last week, reports claiming Kirk was planning to sue Druski surfaced online, but a spokesperson for the comic told Newsweek that “any claim that a cease and desist was issued to Druski is absolutely false.”
In his sketch, Druski mocked Erika’s appearance by sporting whiteface, sporting a white suit, blue contact lenses, blond locks, as well as her body language.
His skit began with “Erika” dancing as pyrotechnics went off around her in a send-up of Charlie Kirk’s memorial service.
Druski, who has sported whiteface in a past stunt mocking a racist NASCAR fan, then imitated Erika’s body language from a December CBS News town hall, during which she was criticized by some for an intense stare.
“I serve a righteous God, and that is why we say our prayers. We are all his children, and when I say children, I mean the holy blessed Trinity, which is why I hold the Bible,” Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, said in the video.
“We have to protect all men in America, especially the white men in America. Those are the ones we care about. Yes, because they are the ones who matter most
“Erika” was then seen ordering an organic pup cup at a drive-thru and struggling in a Pilates class.
Druski’s fans were left in hysterics, but sparked mass fury among others with Erika still grieving.
“Of all conservatives women in America why her? This woman is (still) grieving,” one viewer said on X.
“Despite her being taunted by smaller creators, we share a responsibility to know when something is too far, her husband actually was killed a few months ago,” commentator Dom Lucre pointed out.
“You can go viral with ease, but why does it have to be at the cost of a family this time?”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) described the comic’s antics as “beneath contempt,” while country singer Alexis Wilkins, who dates FBI Director Kash Patel, said, “What a cruel, cruel, world we live in.”
