A war of words has erupted between representatives of Erika Kirk and Vivian Kubrick after the filmmaker’s daughter unleashed a scathing critique of the conservative leader’s latest speech.

Vivian, daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, branded Kirk a “sociopath” and tore into her remarks from Turning Point USA’s “Make Heaven Crowded” tour as “ghastly,” “inauthentic,” and “phony.”

In response, a TPUSA representative condemned Kubrick, calling her “radicalized” and a “rabid fan” of Candace Owens, another one of Erika’s most prominent critics.

Vivian Kubrick Labeled Erika Kirk A ‘Threat’ To America

Kubrick has become the latest in a growing list of individuals to criticize Erika Kirk since she took over the nonprofit founded by her late husband, Charlie Kirk.

In particular, Kubrick was critical of a speech Kirk delivered during Turning Point USA’s “Make Heaven Crowded” tour, saying she had “never witnessed such a ghastly, inauthentic, phony performance” in her life.

From there, her criticism escalated into a series of disparaging remarks, including describing Kirk as a “threat to my country” and “definitely some kind of sociopath.”

“There’s something seriously wrong with this woman – every cell in my body shudders listening to her voice and watching her face,” Kubrick also remarked.

As part of her rant, Kubrick also called for the end of TPUSA, saying no one can replace Charlie.

TPUSA Rep Blasts Kubrick Over Erika Attack

A representative for Turning Point USA didn’t hold back in responding to Kubrick’s blistering criticism of Kirk. In a statement to the New York Post, the spokesperson said they were initially unfamiliar with Kubrick before realizing her connection to the legendary filmmaker.

The rep went on to allege that Kubrick had embraced Scientology at some point and now appeared to be “a rabid fan of the Candace cult.” The response turned more pointed, with the spokesperson suggesting Kubrick’s remarks reflected deeper issues.

“It’s clear she’s been radicalized by the same mind virus as those who attack Erika Kirk and Charlie’s legacy,” the anonymous rep said. “We wish her well and are praying she gets the help she needs.”

The remarks from the representative appear to reflect Kirk’s increasingly direct approach to responding to critics.

In a lengthy video released following a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Erika called out Owens, who in recent months has promoted a series of conspiracy theories about her.

Among the claims the conservative commentator addressed was Owens’ alleged suggestion that she was involved in her husband’s murder. Kirk has strongly rejected it as baseless and without any supporting evidence.

She also name-dropped comedian Druski, criticizing him for creating a skit that mocked her appearance, including her style of dress, eye color, blonde hair, skin tone, and gestures.

Addressing the White House shooting incident directly, Kirk blamed it on what she described as “the systemic indoctrination and radicalization of American citizens” by individuals who have “perverted the truth.”

She further claimed that these actions contributed not only to the assassination of her husband but also to ongoing attempts to harm Donald Trump.

In her view, a “serious epidemic of dehumanization” is affecting the country, and she argued that it will require Americans coming together to save the nation from further decline.

“I am choosing to fight for America, for my children, for your children, and for our humanity. Because we all need to do our part,” the ex-beauty pageant queen said.

Kirk was one of the many high-profile individuals in attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner when a gunman attempted to gain entry and got into a shootout with security personnel.

While she was unharmed, the incident left her deeply distraught, as videos of her being evacuated showed her tearing up.

She was reported to have repeatedly said the words, “I just want to go home,” which further hinted at how traumatized she was.

The suspect involved in the shooting has since been arrested and hit with several charges, including attempted assassination of the president.
