Erika Kirk Skips TPUSA Event
Kirk took to social media to state that she takes her security team's recommendations extremely seriously and will not be intimidated by 'preposterous and disgusting' attacks.
During the event at the University of Georgia, Vance defended Kirk against critics who questioned her grieving process.
The threats come amid a growing rift within the MAGA movement, with some influencers like Candace Owens making fresh claims about the organization's leadership.
Despite Kirk's absence, the event proceeded with a heavy police presence and anti-war protesters heckling the Vice President.
