Erika Kirk is calling out “comedians in whiteface,” Candace Owens, and the media days after the shooting at the White House Correspondent Dinner last weekend. Kirk’s comments come weeks after the internet claimed Druski used her as the inspiration for his viral skit mocking conservative women. In her response, Candace claimed that Charlie Kirk would’ve enjoyed the comedy and said jokes fall under the First Amendment.

Erika Kirk Addresses Candace Owens & Comedians In Clapback Video
On Wednesday (April 29), Erika shared a nine-minute video claiming the United States has become unrecognizable and that the truth is being “perverted.” She spoke about attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the alleged assassination attempt on President Trump, and how she’s perceived online and in the media.
As far as attending the dinner, Erika Kirk said she wanted to meet journalists who have allegedly “attempted to dehumanize” her and she wanted to “meet some of them face-to-face.” She added, “Why have a conversation about me when you can have a conversation with me?”
In another part of her video, Erika spoke on comedians and “white face.” She didn’t name Druski, but over a month ago, he had the internet in shambles when he dropped a skit about “conservative women.” Scenes in the skit seemed to mirror real-life events, facial expressions and even outfits linked to Mrs. Kirk. At the time, even President Trump suggested she should sue over comedic skits. As for Candace Owens, following Charlie Kirk’s death in September, she’s shared critiques about the incident and his wife.
“I have comedians dressing up in whiteface, I have people saying I’m not fit to be CEO and I have Candace Owens claiming I murdered my husband and the list goes on…” Erika Kirk said.

Candace Owens Claims She Never Said Erika Murdered Charlie, Text Screenshot Circulates
On Thursday, one day after Erika’s video, Candace Owens responded on X. She explained how she handled Dave Chappelle previously mocking her. Then, she recalled Charlie Kirk’s reaction to a South Park episode about him.
“Were Charlie alive and the subject of the Druski skit, he would have laughed. Whether regarding Jimmy Kimmel, South Park, Chappelle or otherwise–any personl attempting to criminalize jokes is the enemy of free speech. Not one inch,” Candace Owens wrote.
When Dave Chappelle did a skit mocking me during BLM, I responded that I was flattered that he even knew my name.
When South Park did an episode mocking Charlie Kirk, he played it on repeat on his show.

Later, Owens reposted a video in a separate tweet as proof. In the video, the late Charlie Kirk says that conservatives need to have “a good spirit about being made fun of,” and keep thick skin, calling all conversation about them a win.
Charlie Kirk’s response to South Park—
He was the real deal and like I told you guys, he really did have the best sense of humor about everything, always. https://t.co/h6QpnOnVSw— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) April 30, 2026
Candace Owens also commented on Erika Kirk’s video as a whole, calling it a “very uncomfortable watch” and a “painful prompter read.”
“A speech CLEARLY written by someone else. Objectively terrible so they will now pay for people to tell us otherwise. Also, of everything I’ve said about Erika she chooses to respond to something I never said. They always lie,” she added in a tweet.
Erika only response at this point appears to be a report of a text screenshot a representative of Turning Point USA shared on X. In the screenshot, a contact labeled as Candace Owens wrote, “I’m asking EVERYTHING. First question: Why did you murder your husband?”
Funny, you said exactly that to my former employee Aubrey. Yes, Aubrey took a screen grab of your chats and bragged about it to her friends. https://t.co/bebossdK93 pic.twitter.com/3VYultSyP9

To this point, Candace’s most recent tweet continues to dwell on the First Amendment protection of jokes. And to say THAT, she reposted a 2024 tweet from Charlie Kirk. She also responded in a video shared on socials.

Why Is Jimmy Kimmel In The Mix?
Days before a schoolteacher fired shots at the White House, Jimmy Kimmel joked about Melania Trump’s looks. On TV, the ABC host pretended to be hosting the Correspondents’ Dinner. During that, he joked about the First Lady having “a glow like expectant widow.”

Following the real-life shooting by Cole Tomas Allen, Trump and Melania have called out Jimmy Kimmel and ABC, demanding the host be fired. Trump and Kimmel have had a rivalry for years, though. Additionally, in response, Jimmy said the joke had nothing to do with the shooting, and clarified that it was a dig at the president’s age, which is 79.
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to…
