Watching Erika Kirk’s appearances after her husband was murdered, my impression was that she was one of the most transparent, “can’t miss seeing it” phonies going. Fake tears. Got the impression it was all about not losing a money stream, but bottom line for me was how phony she came across. Even the “I forgive him” scene. BS. JMO, but now there’s a drag queen, Erika Qwerk, who recognizes Erika Kirk’s fake act, and is making hay…I don’t condone the murder, and I don’t doubt for a second Charlie Kirk’s wife was heartbroken. But, her dramatic public responses? Give me a break.
“This is my favorite piece of political art I’ve ever seen.”

We all know that
Erika Kirk has a certain look to her, particularly those piercing blue eyes that are often lined in thick black eyeliner and mascara. Maybe she and JD Vance share makeup tips? Who knows. But, because of her iconic look (maybe iconic isn’t the right word, but you get it), there are now
drag queens portraying the wife of the late podcast host and conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
One drag queen, whose name outside of performing is Lauren Banall, shared a
video on TikTok where she portrays Erika, a.k.a. Erika Qwerk, and even lip-synching to public speeches that Erika gave in the wake of Charlie’s death. Lauren’s
account as a drag queen features other characters she has portrayed, but Erika is arguably the most popular by far.
In the video which went viral in just a few days with more than 1 million likes, Lauren, as Erika, wears a red blazer, has a wig with super-high blonde hair, and has obvious blue contacts in. She also breaks out into an impromptu dance as soon as the mimed speech gives way to Cascada’s “Evacuate the Dancefloor.”
In another TikTok, Lauren lip-syncs to an interview where Erika answered a question about what she wants to say to people who are “lying” about Charlie. Erika mimes “Stop” with a dramatic look on her face, and with creepy music playing afterward. The implication, of course, is that Erika is extremely creepy herself, with her particular
look. And Lauren has it down to a science, it seems.
“You did the eyes perfectly,” one of Lauren’s fans commented on one of her TikToks that features her in character as Erika.
Another added, “Scared the heck out of me but I am here for Erika Kirk drag!”

MAGA is horrified. Well, MAGA didn’t recognize, for 10+ years and running, the phony Donald Trump is, so should not expect them to recognize this phony.

Drag performer Lauren Banall, who goes by the drag name “Erika Qwerk,” is under immense criticism after posting videos on
TikTok of her mocking
Erika Kirk, the widow of
Charlie Kirk and current CEO of Turning Point USA.
The first video, captioned “We are Charlie Kirk,” features Banall dressed in a red jacket and black pants, similar to what Kirk often wears, making intense glares, and saying, “Forgive them, for they not know what they do.” Banall also references the Bible in what can be interpreted as her criticizing
organized religion. She then begins dancing lip-synching to Cascada’s “Evacuate The Dancefloor.” That clip already had over 6.7 million views and nearly 1.5 million likes as of Friday morning.
In the second clip,
Banall lip-syncs to the audio of Kirk’s December interview with CBS News’ Bari Weiss, specifically Kirk saying “stop” when discussing conspiracy theories about her husband’s death. That video had nearly 5 million views and over 1 million likes as of publication.
A glance at the comment section shows no shortage of users supporting Banall, who used the clips to raise money for the American Civil Liberties Union. Pride.com called the videos “hilarious” and praised her for “attempting to change the world by impersonating Republicans.”
