Erika Kirk has made it clear she is paying no attention to her detractors.
During a recent public appearance, days after being mocked by comedian Druski in a viral skit, the mother of two said she has no time for online chatter, dismissing it all as mere noise.
While Erika Kirk has yet to take legal action against any of her critics, she has issued cease-and-desist letters to a few, including her late husband’s associate, Candace Owens.
The TPUSA CEO Described Online Chatter About Her As Just Noise: ‘I Really Do Not Care’
For those curious about Erika’s reaction to comedian Druski’s viral skit, the mother of two appeared to address it during her appearance at a Turning Point USA event at George Washington University on Thursday.
Speaking alongside White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the TPUSA CEO shared that she is often unaware of the criticism directed at her online and that she usually only learns about it when others bring it to her attention.
“There will be people that are like, ‘Did you see what they’re saying about you on X?’ And I’m like, ‘No, I quite frankly I don’t have the time,” the mother of two revealed.
Despite the surge in commentary about her in recent months, Erika maintains that she is unfazed, dismissing it all as mere “noise.”
“And actually, quite frankly, I really do not care. I am actually really busy right now playing MAGNA-TILES, and that is way more important than hearing the endless onslaught that really is just noise,” the businesswoman added, seemingly highlighting that she’s spending time with her kids, playing with the magnetic construction toys.
How Comedian Druski Mocked Erika Kirk In His Viral Skit
Erika’s comments come days after she was trolled by Druski in his skit “How Conservative Women in America Act.”
In the clip, which has since amassed over 180 million views across platforms, the comedian appeared in heavy makeup, a blonde wig, and colored contact lenses to mimic Erika’s look.
He went on to parody the mother of two across several scenes, many of which were drawn from her real-life public appearances.
One segment, set in an interview-style setting, took a swipe at her frequently 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.
In another scene, Druski reenacted remarks made by Erika during a previous outing in Arkansas.
“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 comedian remarked.
The TPUSA CEO Received Support After Druski’s Viral Skit
Online, amid the criticisms, Erika received support from individuals who felt Druski’s skit had gone too far, with many highlighting the fact that the widow had only recently lost her husband, Charlie Kirk.
“This is too far, man,” one person on X said. “You were completely disrespectful during NFL Honors & now you’re making fun of Erika Kirk, whose husband was brutally assassinated. This ain’t it.”
Another noted, “This is too far, though. Beyond the blatant racism, you’re mocking a widow who had her husband assassinated in front of the world.”
Erika Kirk Was Advised By Donald Trump To Sue Druski
The skit quickly drew backlash from several netizens, many of whom argued that it was inappropriate to mock a widow. Others criticized what they perceived as the skit’s racist undertones, particularly Druski’s altering of his complexion to resemble Erika.
Even the country’s number one citizen did not find the skit amusing and advised Erika to consider taking legal action against the comedian.
“I think you should sue him,” Trump reportedly advised the TPUSA CEO after he noticed her among the guests who visited the White House for an Easter lunch.
At the time, 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.
Erika Kirk Is Yet To Sue Her Detractors
Despite the president’s advice, Erika has yet to sue any of her critics, even as the number of conspiracy claims about her continues to grow.
In recent months, the mother of two has instead issued cease-and-desist letters to her late husband’s associate Candace Owens, Project Constitution creator Collin Scott Campbell, and video podcaster Zach De Gregorio.
All three have indicated they do not intend to comply, with Owens even going as far as urging Erika to pursue legal action.
“I would like to keep reminding you that most of us welcome a lawsuit because then they would be required to give us the information that we’re asking for… We don’t have to guess,” Owens said on her podcast after the advice from Trump.
She added, “We can demand… The reason you should never sue, which is just some advice, is if truth is not on your side, cuz it will come out eventually.”
Despite Owens’ taunts, Erika and her organization already noted in a cease-and-desist letter that they do not “desire litigation” and only want the “defamatory” posts about them taken down.
