After conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s murder, his widow Erika Kirk‘s every move has turned into a headline. Unfortunately, her hug with Vice President JD Vance at a Turning Point event a month ago, invited more attention than it warranted.
On Oct. 29, JD Vance attended a Turning Point event as a guest of honor at the University of Mississippi. But when Erika Kirk invited him on stage, their warm embrace went viral. It was deemed a little too intimate by people online, who were also taken aback by Erika’s choice of words to introduce JD. “No one will ever replace my husband. But I do see some similarities of my husband in JD,” she said.
