since the shooting White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) On April 25, a video of Erika Kirk sobbing while being evacuated from the Hilton Hotel went viral. Through the video, many people questioned why the CEO of Turning Point USA attended the dinner.
WHCD is designed for journalists who cover the White House, the President of the United States and government officials, as well as some special guests. Kirk was one of the special guests at the event, and she was criticized by many for whether she deserved to attend.
However, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk slammed those critics on the latest episode of The Charlie Kirk Show . The 37-year-old said she attended WHCD to meet journalists who had “dehumanized” her and “looked them in the eye”. She also took a dig at comedians Druski’s skit and appeared to lash out at other critics such as Candace Owens and Jimmy Kimmel, without directly criticizing him by name.
