A viral comedy sketch is drawing backlash across political circles, with President Donald Trump weighing in during a recent White House gathering.
According to the New York Post, the controversy centers on a video by comedian Druski that has racked up massive online views.
The skit, titled “How Conservative Women in America Act,” features the comic portraying Erika Kirk in an exaggerated and widely criticized performance.
During an Easter lunch at the White House, Trump briefly spoke with Erika and offered blunt advice.
“I think you should sue him,” Trump quipped after greeting her.
He continued, “I told her, ‘You ought to sue some of these.’ They’re jealous of Erika.”
The remark drew laughter from the room, with Trump adding that she should “sue their a** off.”
The skit itself has generated more than 184 million views and sparked intense reactions online. It centers on Druski dressed as a fictionalized version of Erika, the widow of Charlie Kirk, who led Turning Point USA.
In the sketch, Druski appears in costume and mimics mannerisms associated with Erika, including moments inspired by a past appearance during a CBS News town hall.
“I serve a righteous God, and that is why we say our prayers. We are all his children, and when I say children, I mean the holy blessed Trinity, which is why I hold the Bible,” Druski says in the video.
“We have to protect all men in America, especially the white men in America. Those are the ones we care about. Yes, because they are the ones who matter most.”
Additional scenes show the character in comedic situations, including ordering at a drive-thru and participating in a Pilates class.
Despite its popularity, the video has faced criticism from several public figures.
Commentator Dom Lucre wrote, “Despite her being taunted by smaller creators, we share a responsibility to know when something is too far, her husband actually was killed a few months ago.”
“You can go viral with ease, but why does it have to be at the cost of a family this time?”
Sen. Ted Cruz called the skit “beneath contempt,” while country singer Alexis Wilkins added, “What a cruel, cruel, world we live in.” Wilkins is dating FBI Director Kash Patel.
Meanwhile, speculation that legal action could follow has been disputed. A spokesperson for Druski told Newsweek that “any claim that a cease and desist was issued to Druski is absolutely false.”
The video continues to circulate widely online, fueling both laughter and outrage as the debate over its content shows no signs of slowing down.
