A short video of Donald Trump kissing TPUSA boss Erika Kirk at a Phoenix event has gone big online. It brings back talk of her past close moment with JD Vance.
The quick on-stage bit between US leader Donald Trump and Erika Kirk has got anger online. The video from a rally spread fast. It was at the “Build the Red Wall” meet by Turning Point USA at Dream City Church. After Kirk praised Trump in her intro, he bent in and kissed her cheek. The crowd clapped, but web users got mad.
As clips hit X, replies went from no big deal to mean. One wrote, “Every single one of his interactions with women makes my skin crawl.” Another said, “Who is going to tell him that she isn’t 12 anymore?” One post brought up JD Vance and Kirk: “Well she was welcoming JD’s advances… maybe the actual Pres. could do better?”
Some called it “hardly a kiss.” Others said critics make up bad stuff from nothing, as per International Business Times.
Trump and Kirk have not said anything public about the anger. No word from Trump’s team or Turning Point USA on what happened.
The mad talk also compares to a viral hug between Kirk and JD Vance at a public meet that started rumors. People had mixed views then. One asked, “How would you describe these moments between Erika Kirk and JD Vance last night?” Another said, “Is Erika Kirk and JD Vance’s greeting appropriate?”
In a talk after, Kirk hit back at hate: “Please. So for those of you who know me, I never. Whoever is like hating on a hug who needs a hug themselves, I will give you a free hug anytime you want to hug. My love language is touch, if you will.”
