Turning Point USA CEO and chair Erika Kirk helped organize the White House listening session this month that put disgruntled Make America Healthy Again advocates in the same room with President Donald Trump, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and their leading advisers, according to two people inside the Trump administration and two people familiar with the meeting, granted anonymity to discuss the details.

It’s one of the first and most prominent examples of Kirk helping the Trump administration keep its coalition together ahead of what is expected to be a difficult midterm election cycle.

Some of Kirk' supporters see the move as a natural continuation of her slain husband's efforts.

"Charlie was a coalition builder, right?" ...

New: As criticism spread from MAHA advocates frustrated with the White House’s pesticide policy, Erika Kirk encouraged a meeting at the White House that ultimately put top MAHA influencers face to face with Trump, Kennedy and senior advisers. Her efforts highlight how she might use her clout to unify MAGA factions ahead of the midterms...

Cameron is going to kick all her stuffed animals out of her Quiet Room, when she hears about how useful Erika has become to the White House.

” What’s going on? This is NOT supposed to be happening. It’s not fair that the insiders like Erika and stay clear of me. Not fair!!”

Erika Kirk is a FRAUD and a FAKE Christian. Her and Paula White should get along just fine.

I havent snowball in this fight.

I bear no ill will towards her & i mourn Charlie,

he was a good guy.

What bothers me most is how she is presenting

herself in public.

There have been a number of ocassions that have been

sern in press the media where she is over- dressed

or in a fantasy like dress or clothing that was

a mere costume. I never saw her her dressed like that

before Charlie passed on. In fact I never saw her

at all. It seems to me that shes wearing all these

very flashy outfits ( granted she has appeared

in more conservative clothing) and with all

that overdone eye mascara etc.... & her dabbing her eyes

is offsetting to me.

Look , im no prude AT ALL so dont call me out on that.

with these flashy clothese & themakeup & the jewelry

and her having this position @TP ...???

It makes mr think of Jim & Tammy Fay Bakker;

more Tammy Faye than Jim. And Im sure those

two will never be forgotten with their

bible thumpin’ backwoods upward mobility

of white trash swindling, fast talking

grifters eager to line thrir coffers

by preaching a false gospel and it certainly

was not YOUR “prosperity “ or any others it was

THEIR GOSPEL.

Is this what TP is becoming???

Erika Kirk is a very strong, intelligent, passionate and driven person. She has many accomplishments and achievements in her own right throughout her whole life.

She’s developed into a savvy businessman and a devoted Christian.

God bless and protect Erika, her family and loved ones, this nation and the whole world. Amen.

If you think that MAHA moms is a Republican constituency I have a bridge to sell you. Not one of them pulls the lever for an R once the curtain is drawn.

She lost me with the fireworks at Charlie’s memorial. That was weird and her whole act got worse from there.

I’m sorry. People mourn differently. Fireworks wouldn’t run amiss. Some Christians used to sing and dance for the early martyrs of Christianity because they knew they were in heaven.
