Turning Point USA issued a response on Friday after Vivian Kubrick criticized Erika Kirk in a series of social media posts following a recent event, as reported by The New York Post.
Kubrick, the daughter of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, had posted on X about a pre-recorded video message delivered by Erika Kirk during Turning Point USA’s “Make Heaven Crowded” tour. In her post, Kubrick described the address as “ghastly” and “inauthentic.”
Kubrick also directed comments toward President Donald Trump, writing that he should “kill” TPUSA “if we’re to win the midterms.” She added, “[L]et some honest to God, authentic, super smart young patriots rally the American youth.”

In response, a representative for Turning Point USA criticized Kubrick’s remarks.

“Who even is this woman?” the representative said. “I’ve heard of her father, but I had to look her up and what a joy. She’s the seemingly estranged daughter of Stanley Kubrick, who became a Scientologist and a rabid fan of the Candace cult.”
“It’s clear she’s been radicalized by the same mind virus as those who attack Erika Kirk and Charlie’s legacy. We wish her well and are praying she gets the help she needs,” the representative added.
The exchange followed renewed attention on Erika Kirk after her pre-recorded message was played during the organization’s tour event. In the address, she spoke about her late husband, Charlie Kirk, and referenced her faith while reflecting on his death.
Turning Point USA has pointed to its role in increasing youth Republican voter turnout, stating that participation rose by as much as 10 percentage points between 2020 and 2024.

I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A GHASTLY INAUTHENTIC PHONY PERFORMANCE IN MY LIFE AS THIS SPEECH BY ERIKA

The dispute between Kubrick and Turning Point USA comes as the group continues its national tour and engages with audiences on issues related to politics and culture.
