Erika Kirk has received legal advice from the U.S. president, Donald Trump, following the viral skit by controversial comedian Druski.
Druski had mocked the mother of two by mimicking her dressing and mannerisms in his viral skit, which also attempted to recreate her recent public appearances. Trump then called on the TPUSA CEO to sue the influencer, adding that he and her other critics were jealous of her.
In the meantime, Erika has yet to issue a response to the skit, which has garnered massive criticism since it was shared across social media platforms.
Erika Kirk Was Advised To Sue Druski And Her Detractors
Erika Kirk was mocked in a viral skit by Druski that has racked up over 184 million views since hitting social media.
While the mother of two has yet to respond to the incident, and rumors of a cease and desist from her have been refuted, she is still being encouraged to take legal action, with the advice coming right from the top.
According to the New York Post, President Donald Trump urged the mother of two to sue the controversial comedian after he noticed her among the guests who visited the White House for an Easter lunch.
“I think you should sue him,” Trump reportedly advised the TPUSA CEO, without directly addressing Druski.
He also called on Erika to do the same to some of her detractors.
“I told her, ‘You ought to sue some of these.’ They’re jealous of Erika,” he continued.
Druski Mocked Erika’s Body Language And Speech In His Viral Skit
In the viral skit, Druski appeared in makeup matching Erika’s complexion and wore a blonde wig resembling her hairstyle.
He was shown in a series of scenes parodying the TPUSA CEO and adding his own exaggerated spin to her persona, including moments where he climbed a platform to greet an audience, picked up a drink at a drive-through, and attended a yoga class.
Another segment featured the comedian mimicking Erika’s intense stare, a trait some social media users have previously pointed out in her interviews. The scene also included jabs at her often-expressed views on faith.
“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 said.
One other scene featured Druski reenacting remarks made by Erika during a previous outing in Arkansas, which had sparked backlash over her “young white male” comments at the time.
“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,” Druski remarked in the scene.
The Viral Skit Garnered Backlash Online
Online, several netizens slammed the skit, claiming that the controversial comedian had pushed the boundaries beyond what is deemed acceptable.
“This is too far, man,” a user wrote in the comment section of the viral post. “You were completely disrespectful during NFL Honors & now you’re making fun of Erika Kirk, whose husband was brutally assassinated. This ain’t it.”
“This is too far, though. Beyond the blatant racism, you’re mocking a widow who had her husband assassinated in front of the world,” a different individual commented.
More critics of the skit pointed out that it resembled a form of “reverse blackface,” and noted the double standard if roles were reversed.
“If blackface is unforgivable racism, I think whiteface should also be unforgivable racism,” the user noted.
One more wrote, “This is just disgusting,” while another commented, “This sh-t is weird. Not even funny.”
Erika Kirk’s Late Husband Pal Recently Continued Her Criticism Of The TPUSA CEO
Days after Druski’s viral skit dropped, Erika’s late husband’s pal, Candace Owens, continued her vendetta against the mother of two with a new post criticizing an alleged succession audio.
The audio in question was played at a Turning Point USA event, and appeared to claim that Charlie Kirk wanted his wife to take over from him if anything happens to him.
Owens asked why a video of the alleged scene of Charlie making the declaration was not released, a statement she made to seemingly question the veracity of the audio.
“Why won’t they release the video? Surely, if they captured the audio, they have the video,” the podcaster said on X.
“The claim made is that at an Aspen retreat weeks before his death, Charlie answered a donor who asked “what would happen if you died,” to which he replied that he would want Erika to take over. I would like to see the video of that,” she added.
Erika Kirk Sent Candace Owens A Cease-And-Desist Letter
Although Druski’s rep has since shut down rumors of him being sent a cease and desist letter by Erika, it has been confirmed that the TPUSA CEO sent multiple letters to several of her right-wing critics, including Owens
As reported by The Blast, the legal letter sought to stop Erika’s detractors from making what they branded as “defamatory” comments linking her to her husband, Charlie’s death, and also late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
One of the letters sent by her legal representative to one of her critics notes that the widow and her nonprofit have no “desire” for litigation, as they simply want the defamatory posts about her taken down, and for the “damage and harassment” to stop.
