Comedian Druski Faces Backlash Over His Viral Skit Portraying Erika Kirk [WATCH]

Comedian Druski is facing widespread criticism following the release of a viral video in which he portrayed Erika Kirk, drawing reactions across social media from viewers who described the skit as inappropriate, as reported by The New York Post.

The video, titled “How Conservative Women in America Act,” has generated more than 40 million views online.

In the skit, Druski — whose real name is Drew Desbordes — appeared in costume depicting Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk.

The performance included elements referencing public appearances and events connected to Kirk.

In the video, Druski wore a white suit, blond hair, and blue contact lenses while performing exaggerated mannerisms.

The skit opened with the character dancing as pyrotechnics went off, in a scene referencing Charlie Kirk’s memorial service.

The portrayal also included a segment where the character responded to reporters’ questions about the Iran war, imitating White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

During the skit, Druski delivered several lines while in character, including:

“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.”

He also said: “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.”

The video included additional segments showing the character engaging in activities such as ordering an organic “pup cup” and struggling during a Pilates class.

The skit quickly gained traction online, with some viewers responding positively to the comedic content. However, others expressed criticism, particularly over the decision to portray Erika Kirk.

This is too far man…

You were completely disrespectful during NFL Honors & now you’re making fun of Erika Kirk, whose husband was brutally assassinated.

This ain’t it.

Another user commented: “Is this a joke? You think this is funny? Making fun of Erika Kirk? You’re a disgusting piece of you know what.”

The reaction to the video comes after a previous controversy involving Druski. In September of last year, he appeared in a separate skit portraying a NASCAR fan.

He also faced criticism in February after mispronouncing Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s name while presenting the Offensive Player of the Year Award.

Druski later said he had attempted to contact Smith-Njigba to apologize but had not received a response.

As of now, Erika Kirk has not publicly commented on the video.

The viral nature of the skit and the response it generated have drawn attention to the broader reaction from audiences online, with both criticism and support emerging as the video continues to circulate.
