What to Know
In case you missed it, Druski, a comedian and influencer, recently shared a skit mocking “conservative women,” and although he didn’t name Erika Kirk directly, people spotted many signs that suggested he was portraying her. In the video, Druski wore prosthetics and makeup to make himself look like a conservative white woman. Some of the references to Erika were so apparent that AI assistant Grok claimed that Druski truly was Erika.
President Donald Trump appeared to react to the skit at a recent event. Presumably, footage from the Easter event was not meant to be shared with the public, as the White House quickly deleted it—but not before people managed to save it and share it widely. In it, the president spoke to Erika directly.
He asked her how she was doing.
Trump tells Erika Kirk to sue Druski:

"They're so jealous of Erika. I said, you ought to sue their you, I can say you're not allowed to say this. You have to be nicer. Sue their ass off." pic.twitter.com/mSVoZsXLMC
“You’re doing well, right?” the president said to Erika at the event. “Okay. I think you should sue him.” A lot of people assumed that the “him” in question was Druski, given that he shared the video about “how conservative women in America act” at the end of March, and it quickly went viral.
At the same time, Trump seemed to suggest that she should, in general, sue her critics. He went on to say that while Erika has to be “nicer,” he does not (it’s unclear who told him that he doesn’t have to be nice). According to him, all the haters are just “jealous” of Erika. He didn’t elaborate on why. “But you know what? I told her, you ought to sue some of these,” Trump continued. “They’re so jealous of Erika. “I said, you ought to sue. I can say it, you’re not allowed to say this, you have to be nicer: sue their a– off.”
Other than Druski, it’s possible that Trump was referring to Candace Owens, who has used her platform to go after Erika and spread conspiracy theories about the death of her late husband, Charlie Kirk.
Druski’s skit made fun of conservative women.
Although he didn’t name Erika in it, several moments were clearly inspired by her. For example, he wore a white suit and danced on a stage lit by pyrotechnics, which appeared to reference a Turning Point USA event. He also clutched onto a Bible and stared into the camera during an interview, and seemed to mock one of her recent speeches in which she said, “Don’t let anyone disenfranchise you because you’re a young man — especially a young, white, male man.”
In his skit, Druski said something very similar: “We have to protect all men in America, especially all white men in America. Those are the boys that we care about in this country.”
Online, a lot of people found the video hilarious, accurate, and relatively harmless, but many critics called it insensitive, given that Erika is grieving.

A clip of Trump telling Erika to sue her critics has been circulating on X, and people can’t understand why Trump would push her to sue over a parody. “Thought yall loved comedy? What happened?” one person questioned. Someone else said, “For a group that loves to call their opposition ‘snowflakes,’ they sure get their feelings hurt a lot.”
Besides, as many people pointed out, Erika was not directly mentioned in Druski’s skit. “he didn’t even mention her… how is she gonna sue druski?” another person questioned. “also jealous of what?” People also questioned his priorities, wondering why he seems worried about “a harmless skit” with everything else that’s going on right now.
While others agreed that suing Druski wouldn’t make any sense, they argued that Trump probably wasn’t referring to the comedian in the first place. “I think the president is most likely referring to the Candace Owens crowd that has defamed Erika Kirk,” someone suggested.
