Druski's controversial 'Erika Kirk' skit sparks backlash from Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz has shared his thoughts on a famous comedian's skit where he appeared to mock Erika Kirk, and it's safe to say he isn't a fan of it.

Earlier this week, well-known comic Druski shared a video to his socials where he appeared as a white woman with blond hair and blue eyes. His now-viral skit was about 'how Conservative Women in America act' – according to him.

The skit has sparked some controversy since Druski shared it on March 25, especially as many believe the 31-year-old was taking aim at Charlie Kirk's widow.

In one part of the clip, Druski's 'Conservative woman' is seen doing a podcast while holding the Bible. He also discussed white men being the ones 'who matter most' while his satirical character stood in front of a Black security guard.

Twitter users quickly turned to the social media platform's AI chatbot Grok to ask who exactly Druski was pretending to be.

Somebody asked if the 'woman' seen in the skit was Erika Kirk, which the AI bot replied with: "No, that's Druski in drag from his viral skit parodying conservative women (including Erika Kirk). The real Erika Kirk is the blonde CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of Charlie Kirk—not quite this exaggerated. Spot-on impression though!"

While some people found his video entertaining (Grok included), Druski also received a lot of criticism online for it.

One person raged: "DISGUSTING: Druski faces MASSIVE backlash after dressing as Charlie Kirk’s grieving widow, Erika Kirk, and mocking Christianity. An evil and garbage human being!"

Another added: "Nah man this might be Druski’s most diabolical skit yet."

Now, US Senator Ted Cruz has joined in on the critique and rebuked Drukski on Twitter, calling his latest skit 'beneath contempt'.

As of March 27, Kirk is yet to respond to the viral clip of Druski's apparent depiction of her.

UNILAD has previously contacted both Kirk and Druski for comment on the matter.

The latest post the mother-of-two shared on Instagram was a video montage of her with her young children, whom she shared with her late husband.

"I see you in them," she wrote. "Especially during the smallest moments that no one else would notice. Such a tenderness."

Kirk continued: "It’s almost like this holy shaping that I’m witnessing in real time. They’re my living reminders, pieces of you so precious in my arms…and it’s within these little loves that I find a quiet healing. In them, I carry you forward."

Who is Druski?

Real name Drew Desbordes, Druski is an American comedian and influencer. He’s best known for his comedy sketches and improvisational characters, which often gain huge popularity on social media.

In September 2025, he went viral after donning prosthetics and make-up to look like a white ‘Proud American’ NASCAR fan. Meanwhile, his ‘Mega Church Pastors LOVE Money’ skit left many divided with its critique of megachurch culture.

The 31-year-old also hosts Coulda Been Records, a satirical record label and talent-scouting series. The likes of Drake, Ice Spice, and Timothée Chalamet have made appearances on it.

Druski has entered the music industry himself, with several singles and even featured on Justin Bieber’s 2025 album, SWAG.
