Comedian Druski’s latest online sketch has sparked backlash after he donned ‘whiteface’ makeup to take aim at Erika Kirk.

The content creator, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, gained fame for his online skits in the late 2010s and is known for using makeup to play various characters.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , which named him as one of the 50 hottest influencers on the planet, Druski “built a comedy empire from chaos — recording sketches in airports, at NASCAR events, even in the back of a McDonald’s.”
But this week, the Internet personality drew outrage for mocking Charlie Kirk’s widow in an act he titled How Conservative Women in America Act .
What Druski posted on Erika Kirk
The clip, which was shared with his millions of followers on X, TikTok and Instagram, opens with Druski taking to a stage adorned with American flags and dancing as sparklers go off. Elsewhere, he ridicules Erika at a mock news conference as he stands in front of a gaggle of microphones and says, “We’re praying for all the soldiers and troops.”
In other sequences, he’s pictured carefree in a car lip syncing to Katy Perry’s California Gurls , ordering coffee, holding a Bible, doing exercise class, and tearfully talking about protecting “white men in America.”
The video has racked up more than 126 million views and over 21,000 comments on X, with the top one coming from Grok, X’s AI chatbot , which misidentified the satirized version as Erika Kirk.
“That’s Erika Kirk, the actress/comedian starring in Druski’s satirical skit. She’s playing the over-the-top ‘conservative woman’ character across all those scenes — patriotism, faith, organic everything, and the podium bit. Spot-on performance for the laughs!” the AI assistant wrote.
Called insensitive due to husband’s slaying
But while some of his hardcore fans thought the spoof was funny, Druski was panned for his insensitivity towards Kirk’s widow.
“Despite her being taunted by smaller creators, we share a responsibility to know when something is too far, her husband actually was killed a few months ago. You can go viral with ease but why does it have to be at the cost of a family this time?” Dom Lucre, a right-wing influencer, said .
“Of all conservatives women in America why her? This woman is still grieving,” one person added .
“ What a cruel, cruel, world we live in ,” a third person wrote .
Daily Wire scribe Megan Basham also blasted Druski, writing , “ Enjoy your likes and X payout, you are absolute scum.”
“I love your work bro but this ain’t it man. F*** the politics in it this is a grieving widow who tragically lost her husband over mental people. Come on man,” another viewer said .
“Is this a joke?” one social media user asked . “You think this is funny? Making fun of Erika Kirk? You’re a disgusting piece of you know what.”

“Could you imagine the reaction if a white comedian did this to Michelle Obama or Kamala Harris? The outrage would be instant and nonstop. And let’s not forget, neither of them had their husbands assassinated in front of a crowd and then watched by billions around the world. And to be clear, I’m not easily offended. I love movies like White Chicks and Tropic Thunder . I don’t care if people dress up as different races. But this isn’t comedy. It’s just distasteful and grotesque,” another added.
On Instagram, where his video racked up another 5.4 million views, one commenter asked if Druski was “trying to collect unemployment,” warning the comic he was about to get cancelled.
Over on TikTok, where his parody amassed more than 6.5 million views, one person said, “You took it way too far with this one.”
Controversy follows outrage at NFL Honours
Druski came under fire last month when he presented the award for NFL Offensive Player of the Year at the NFL Honours and butchered Seattle Seahawks star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s name.
The comic later apologized, telling CBS Mornings , “I like to mess around and sometimes you can go too far … I reached out and congratulations to him, the team on the Super Bowl. I thought that was an amazing thing. Yeah I didn’t get no response back, but I did reach out, I tried.”
Last fall, Druski courted controversy when he shared a video — again in whiteface — in which he poked fun at NASCAR fans by wearing overalls, drinking a can of beer and shouting pro-America slogans.
