Black comedian Drew Desbordes, better known online as “Druski,” ignited a slew of conservative backlash this week after putting on white makeup to mock “conservative women” in a sketch that seemed to be aimed at Turning Point USA’s Erika Kirk.
“Erika Kirk’s husband was assassinated in September,” Clay Travis, founder of conservative media outlet OutKick, wrote on X. “It’s March & a black comedian is putting on white face & mocking her in a video.”
Druski, 31, stirred up controversy last year with a video in which he made himself look like a white NASCAR fan who was “just proud to be an American.”
In his latest video, titled “How Conservative Women in America Act,” the influencer appears as a white woman with a blonde wig and heavy makeup. Although Druski did not say he was dressing up as Kirk specifically, many on the internet noticed similarities his character and to the Turning Point USA CEO.
The video begins with his character walking onto a stage, dancing to loud music as pyrotechnics go off. His outfit is similar to the one Kirk wore to her late husband Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, which also featured fireworks, in Arizona last year.
