Erika Kirk, widow of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, has dismissed the online frenzy over her viral hug with US Vice President JD Vance, calling the backlash absurd and a product of “outrage culture.” Speaking to Megyn Kelly, she explained that she was emotional after a tribute video, and Vance had simply told her “I’m so proud of you” during the embrace. Her brief touch on the back of his head, she said, was an instinctive gesture she uses with everyone she hugs. Erika and Kelly both mocked the criticism — with Erika even joking she “would’ve gotten less hate if I grabbed his a**.”
