Trump Encourages Erika Kirk to Take Legal Action Against Comedian Mocking MAGA Women
President Trump recently suggested that Erika Kirk consider legal action against a comedian whose viral video satirizing MAGA women has sparked widespread discussion online.
Last Wednesday, comedian Druski released a skit that parodies “conservative women in America.” In the video, he adopts a striking appearance with white face paint, a blonde wig, blue contact lenses, and a pant suit. The skit contrasts his deadpan delivery at a mock press conference with clips of him dancing amid fireworks, striking pilates poses, and ordering food at a drive-through.
“We have to protect all men in America, especially the white men in America,” he quips during the skit. “Those are the ones we care about.”
The two-minute video has amassed over 184 million views on X, with many viewers interpreting Druski's portrayal as a direct jab at Erika Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of Charlie Kirk.
Trump appeared to echo this sentiment during an Easter address at the White House. Spotting Kirk in the audience, he deviated from his prepared remarks.
“Hello darling,” Trump greeted her, commenting on the quality of her table. “You doing well, right?”
He continued, “They’re so jealous of Erika,” before seemingly advising her on how to respond to the skit. “I said, you ought to sue, I can say — you’re not allowed to say this — you have to be nicer. Sue their a** off.”
The audience, filled with administration officials and faith leaders, erupted in laughter and applause before Trump returned to his scripted speech.
“But, I want to thank all of those who are helping us honor holy week here,” he added.
Reports surfaced last week suggesting that Kirk was contemplating a lawsuit against Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes. However, a spokesperson for the comedian stated that “any claim that a cease and desist was issued to Druski is absolutely false.”
Kirk has yet to publicly comment on the viral skit, which has polarized opinions across social media.
Critics voiced their discontent, with one user remarking on X: “Could you imagine the reaction if a white comedian did this to Michelle Obama or Kamala Harris? The outrage would be instant and nonstop.”
Conversely, Druski’s supporters defended him vigorously, praising his performance. One fan remarked: “Druski’s makeup and costume design team is truly UNDEFEATED!”
Druski gained popularity through viral Instagram comedy skits and made headlines last year when he donned white face while impersonating a NASCAR fan.
