American comedian Drew Dawit Desbordes, known professionally as Druski, has made a skit that people believe criticizes Erika Kirk.
Druski is an American influencer and comedian who creates content online. On March 25, Druski dropped a new video with the caption “How Conservative women act in America.” The video included him wearing a white wig and suit to allegedly impersonate the CEO of Turning Point USA, Erika Kirk, whose husband, Charlie Kirk, died on Sept. 10, 2025. The videos allegedly mocked her recent public speeches and engagement.
One of Druski’s skits starts with him entering the room and doing a “sturdy” dance to Katy Perry’s song “California Gurls,” according to Yahoo.com. Another skit that he posted includes him stopping mid-sentence to hauntingly stare right into the camera while holding a Bible.
Although the skits were released on March 25, Kirk did not react until late April; she posted a video on X, pointing out the hostility directed at her. She did not mention Druski by name, but people believe that she directed her remarks at Druski, according to Yahoo.com.
Kirk was upset that someone was parodying her and claimed that the past few months had been “literal hell.” Kirk has also made a statement saying everyone always criticizes her; she claims that they say she is not fit to be CEO and that they spread rumors that she may be the cause of Charlie’s death, according to Yahoo.com
President Donald Trump commented on this situation at an Easter lunch event in the White House: “They’re so jealous of Erika,” said Trump before advising Kirk to sue Druski for his skits, according to Forbes.
Some people argue that Whiteface is just as racist as Blackface, but they aren’t the same. Blackface was used to mock black American people – and reinforce negative stereotypes about them – back when they were facing slavery, segregation, and severe legal discrimination. Whiteface, however, does not carry the same historical legacy, according to Shifter.
Frank Faucette, the runner of the YouTube page Faucette Media, claimed that all Druski did was say what everyone was already thinking about Kirk; he just did it on camera. Faucette said that “whoever doesn’t find this skit funny, clearly does not have a sense of humor.” Faucette defended Druski, whose skits may not even specifically target Erika Kirk.
“Druski did not confirm that he was cosplaying as Kirk; he is not in the wrong for simply making jokes about an average American woman,” said Zyanne Barksdale-Calvin, freshman.
Evelina Garza, freshman, said that she is confused about why Trump is siding with Kirk over a simple joke. Garza has been a fan of Druski for a while. She claims that Druski just wanted to make more content, and filing a lawsuit against him is unnecessary: “Even if Erika Kirk does file a lawsuit, it does not mean that she will win automatically.”
So far, no updates have been confirmed that a lawsuit will be filed against Druski. Kirk has only expressed disappointment that she now has comedians impersonating her in addition to all the criticism that she already deals with.
