A week after a “controversial” hug between Erika Kirk and JD Vance made headlines, a lip reader has revealed the true nature of the pair’s brief but close exchange.
Speaking at a packed campus event at the University of Mississippi last week, Kirk, 36, introduced Vance as a “very, very dear friend,” drawing applause from the audience. Their exchange later during the event reiterated their closeness, as well as Kirk’s continued sentiments towards her late husband.
