During a Turning Point USA event held at the University of Mississippi on October 29th, Vice President JD Vance delivered a political declaration at the invitation of the widow of the deceased conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk, named Erika Kirk.
The photo, in which Vance appeared calm in his navy suit and Erika radiant in her tribute tee inspired by her late husband’s style, went viral quickly. However, this embrace was more than just a hug; it was an intimate one, extended and, apparently, a little too cozy for comfort for some viewers.
Coming only after the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Orem, Utah, the event shocked the entire right-wing camp. The perpetrator behind the assassination, Tyler Robinson, who is only 22 years old, is still waiting for trial for a murder charge fueled by politically-charged motives.
