Comedian and social media sensation Druski's recent skit parodying female MAGA supporters has gone viral. 

Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, released a skit on Instagram titled “How Conservative Women in America Act,” on March 25th. In the skit, Desbordes cosplayed a Republican white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a pantsuit. Dressed as this character, he gives an extravagant press conference, does Pilates, and orders food from a drive-through. 

“How Conservative Women in America Act” gained millions of likes on Instagram and YouTube within days. Though some viewers and fans found humor in the video, others found it hurtful. One of the most famous critics of the video was President Donald Trump.

People saw physical and behavioral similarities between the character and Turning Point USA CEO and the late wife of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, despite Druski not saying who exactly the character was inspired by. Since the death of her husband in 2025, Kirk has been a popular topic on social media due to her facial expressions and her public grieving. 

During an interview on April 1st, Trump claimed people are jealous of Kirk and gave her advice on how to handle the skit, according to Independent Co. 

“I said, you ought to sue, I can say — you’re not allowed to say this — you have to be nicer. Sue their a** off,” said the president. 

Despite rumors, Erika Kirk has not publicly commented on the skit nor has she taken legal action. 

Like many others, Hampton students found the video mostly funny and truthful.

“I found it super funny. Many of Erika Kirk’s recent posts have lacked the emotion and grief of a recently grieving wife , and make you question the truth behind politicians or, in this instance, commentators, and the reality of their situation in which they praise such morals,“said 2nd year computer engineering major Lailah Outsey.
