Crowd reacts after heckler says Erika Kirk ‘protects pedophiles’ during TPUSA speech
(Reuters)
Erika Kirk was giving a speech at Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit on Friday before she was interrupted by a heckler.
The heckler yelled, “Erika Kirk protects pedophiles,” about 11 minutes into her 17-minute speech.
The widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk took over as CEO of TPUSA after his assassination in September 2025.
Attendees at the summit responded by booing the heckler and telling them to leave.
Erika Kirk brushed off the remark and continued her speech, saying, “It’s important to remember that happiness comes and goes and I pray that you find it.”
