Erika Kirk skipped a Turning Point USA event on Tuesday in Georgia where she was set to appear alongside Vice President JD Vance after receiving “very serious threats,” according to event organizers. “It’s a terrible reflection on the state of reality and the state of the country,” Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said onstage at the Akins Ford Arena in Athens, sitting beside Vance.

Kirk’s late husband, the influential conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was fatally shot in September during an appearance at a campus event in Utah.

“I was so looking forward to tonight’s event at the [University of Georgia] with our Vice President [JD Vance], but after all our family has been through, I take my security team’s recommendations extremely seriously,” Kirk wrote on X.

Vance said the threats ahead of Tuesday’s event left Kirk, Turning Point’s CEO, “worried.” He also lashed out at those he said had been unfairly criticizing her in the wake of her husband’s death. Erika Kirk has become the subject of conspiracy theories in some corners of the right.
