JD Vance’s Viral Hug With Erika Kirk Leaves Viewers Cringing
Hello! Welcome to an example totally, definitely, really normal interaction between JD Vance and Erika Kirk.
On Wednesday, Turning Point USA held an event with the vice president at the University of Mississippi in honor of Erika’s deceased husband (and TP founder), Charlie Kirk.
