President Donald Trump appeared to urge Erika Kirk to sue a comedian whose video mocking MAGA women went viral across social media.
Last Wednesday, the comic Druski released a skit parodying “conservative women in America,” in which he donned white face, a blonde wig, blue contact lenses and a pant suit for the role. The video juxtaposes him delivering deadpan remarks at a press conference with footage of him dancing near pyrotechnics, 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 says at one point. “Those are the ones we care about.”
The two-minute clip has garnered over 184 million views on X, with many commenters claiming that Druski was specifically lampooning Erika Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of Charlie Kirk.
Trump seems to agree.
During an Easter speech at the White House on Wednesday, the 79-year-old president noticed Erika Kirk in the audience and went off script.
“Hello darling,” Trump told Kirk, noting “That’s a good table. I like that table. You doing well, right?”
“They’re so jealous of Erika,” he said, before appearing to offer her advice on how to handle the Druski 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 room, filled with administration officials and faith leaders, erupted into laughter and scattered applause before he veered back to his prepared remarks.
“But, I want to thank all of those who are helping us honor holy week here,” he said.
Last week, online reports claimed that Kirk planned to file a lawsuit against Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, but the comedian's spokesperson told Newsweek that “any claim that a cease and desist was issued to Druski is absolutely false.”
Kirk has not publicly addressed his latest viral skit — which has divided the internet.
A number of commenters expressed criticism, with one writing 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.”
But Druski’s fans quickly defended him and heaped praise on his performance. One wrote:“Druski’s makeup and costume design team is truly UNDEFEATED!”
Druski, who rose to fame making viral Instagram comedy skits, flooded social media feeds last year when he donned white face and cosplaying as a NASCAR fan.
