Though comedy is legal, Trump suggests Erika Kirk sue Druski's ass off

Druski's viral comedy video, "How Conservative Women in America Act," seems to have touched a nerve with President Free Speech.

Though comedy is legal, Trump suggests Erika Kirk sue Druski's ass off

We know, jokes are just jokes, but sometimes they can be really mean and even hurt feelings. Just ask President Donald Trump, the armadillo-skinned free-speech crusader, who spends an inordinate amount of time complaining about comedians and their lack of respect for the office of the presidency. To wit, the hottest video in web comedy this week is a bit of conservative crossdressing from Drew Desbordes, a.k.a. Druski, called “How Conservative Women in America Act.” Far from the cutting edge of sketch comedy, “Conservative Women” mostly features Druski caked in prosthetics as he feigns concern for war casualties while ordering organic lattes at Starbucks and attending pilates class. Conservatives are hypocrites is a bulletproof comedic premise, making it a pretty obvious dig at Erika Kirk and her WrestleMania-inspired grieving tour, following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk. The makeup really is the star of the show, though, with Druski’s uncanny visage disturbing enough to make any viewer think, “I don’t even want to be around anymore.” 

Unsurprisingly, given he’s currently losing a war he started, President Trump also has thoughts on Druski, namely that Erika Kirk, or “darling,” as he calls her, should sue him over the impression. Per The Daily Beast, Trump suggested to Kirk that she should take legal action against Druski at the White House’s “Happy Easter” lunch yesterday. During his speech, Trump noticed Kirk and said, “Hello, darling. That’s a good table. I like that table. You doing well, right?” Moving to the subject of comedians doing unflattering caricatures of blonde conservative leaders, particularly those who had previously been a thorn in MAGA’s side for doing a “white-face” prank at a NASCAR event, Trump said, “I think you should sue them. I told her, you ought to sue some of these…They’re so jealous of Erika. I said, ‘You ought to sue, I can say—you’re not allowed to say this—you have to be nicer. Sue their asses off.” Much like Druski’s video, it got a good laugh from its intended audience. To be fair, Druski’s appearance as Kirk does have a certain horrific, Spitting Image-inspired je ne sais quoi that could violate legal precedent. Still, we wouldn’t put it past any of these tough guys and gals to sue a comedian over something like that. Druski’s just lucky he’s not on broadcast television.
