Druski has been on a run lately with his comedy skits, and his most recent one might be the biggest reaction he has ever gotten from a single video. On March 29, the 31-year-old comedian posted a two-minute parody across X and Instagram titled “How Conservative Women in America act,” and the clip took off almost immediately with millions of views and shares within the first few days. His mannerisms and delivery in the video led a lot of people to believe he was directly imitating Erika Kirk, which is the part that made it blow up even more than it would have on its own.
The skit was getting laughs across the internet, but it also caught the attention of people who were not laughing at all. Ted Cruz was one of the first political figures to respond, and then Donald Trump himself weighed in, which is how a two-minute comedy video ended up becoming a whole political thing.
Trump Told Erika Kirk To Sue “Him” And Called Critics Of Her “Jealous” On Camera
On April 1, a video of Donald Trump surfaced on X where his attention was drawn to Erika Kirk, and he told her directly that she should sue. “I think you should sue him,” Trump said before going on to add, “they’re so jealous of Erika, I said. You ought to sue them. You are not going to be allowed to say this. You have to be nicer, sue their a** off.”
The fact that the President told someone to sue a comedian over a parody video got its own wave of reactions, and a political commentator responded, saying, “Trump is now telling Erika Kirk to sue Druski for his parody video,” and called Republicans “snowflakes” who are “offended by comedy.”
Druski has not said anything publicly about Trump’s comments or the backlash in general which is pretty standard for him because he tends to let the internet argue while he stays quiet and moves on to the next thing.

Nobody expects Kirk to actually take Trump’s advice and pursue legal action because parody is protected speech and Druski never named her in the video, but a sitting president telling someone to sue a comedian over a skit is not something that just goes away, and it is why people are still talking about this days after the original video dropped.

The video is Druski playing a character so convincingly that people genuinely cannot tell if he is joking or serious and the character this time was a conservative woman in America. His body language and the way he spoke in the clip matched up closely enough with Erika Kirk that fans and critics both assumed it was a direct impression of her even though Druski never actually said her name anywhere in the video.
One user on X pointed that out writing “Druski didn’t say he name it could of been anybody he made fun of” but by that point it did not matter because the internet had already decided who the target was.
Ted Cruz responded on X with just two words, calling Druski a “smooth comedian,” which could be read as either a compliment or sarcasm depending on where you stand, and the comment section under his post was a mess of people arguing about whether the skit was funny or disrespectful.

On top of that, hundreds of people on X were going back and forth about it, with some saying it was just a skit meant to make people laugh and others saying Druski went too far. The divide pretty much fell along political lines, which is what happens every single time a comedian touches anything related to politics right now.
