Erika Kirk, the chairwoman and CEO of Turning Point USA, recently pulled out of an event with Vice President JD Vance, citing “very serious threats.” Her spokesman, Andrew Kolvet, announced her withdrawal to the crowd, at the Akins Ford Arena in Athens, Georgia. Kirk was originally scheduled to interview Vance on stage at the University of Georgia event.
Kolvet told the audience that Kirk had “received some very serious threats,” calling it “a terrible reflection on the state of reality and the state of the country.” Kirk later confirmed this on X, writing, “I was so looking forward to tonight’s event at the [University of Georgia] with our Vice President [JD Vance], but after all our family has been through, I take my security team’s recommendations extremely seriously.”
